THE new year went off with a bang in all respects. The attendance for Dunoon and District Clay Target Club traditional opening shoot of the year was exceptional, with 46 senior, two ladies and three junior guns taking part.
Prize-winners: Leighton Reid, Alan Brown, Archie MacBride, Donny MacPhail, Alvaro Pieri, James Milton, Fiona Pieri, Alison Brown and Ian Smith.
The weather was mixed on Monday January 2 for the 50-clay down the line competition, but did not affect the standard of the shooting, which was excellent, with five maximum 75 ex 75 scores in the individual rounds. The difficulty was the shortness of daylight, with the last lines shot in near dark conditions.
