The ladies went to Angie Goodman with a 36 followed by Carol Francis on 31, Netty Cutler close behind on 28 and that is it for the ladies--surely there are more ladies out there who would like to try--we don't bite! 

The juniors was won by Bleddyn Lewis on the same score as his dad, Owen on a 37, with Edward Poore on 33.

Veteran Llew David finished on 36 with a bit of a battle going on for second place veterans between Stuart Hall (31) Daff Davies ( WCTSA Chairman, 29) and brother Del Davies (28) so all to shoot for.

Mid Wales Shooting Centre - 100 DTL - Sunday 22nd January 2006

There were 109 guns at Mid Wales.

At the 50 stage it was Lady shooter Sharon Ebbrel who was leading the pack with a score of 150 x 149 but a few clays got the better of her on the second 50 targets.  Out of the first wave of shooters not one person posted a 100 straight. 

The second batch of shooters produced a winner and High Gun of the day it was the popular in-form Welshman - Phil Morgan. Shooting the first 50 clean and then barreling 2 targets on the 75 stage he finished with a clear last round posting a score of 100 x 298. He was one of only 2 shooters who shot the hundred straight, the other was a T. Swinburn who shot a 100 x 294.

Some excellent scores coming from Mid Wales at such an early time of the season.
