EUROA CLAY TARGET CLUB

By JOHN KING

THE Euroa Clay Target conducted there annual Christmas shoot on Sunday, December 10 and it was young Owen Spencer who showed all the experienced competitors how to shoot the difficult tower event.

Tower shooting required competitors to hit targets thrown from a nine metre tower overhead and young Owen outscored the field with a great score of 57/60, one point better than the rest of the field.

The annual Christmas shoot is a celebration day with great prizes for the table and with plenty of visiting competitors swelling the field, a great day was held by all.

As well as the competition, the club’s two stalwarts, Elana Towers and Heather Crosbie served a wonderful lunch including Turkey, Ham, and Chicken with all the trimmings.
