OSK 1st & 2nd Welsh Qualifier

Hi Everyone

A few important points have arisen to share with you before the Welsh Olympic Skeet Selection shoots on Saturday 29^th May and Sunday 30^th May at SW2000.

A request from Sian… Please book in for this weekend’s Selection shoots by Thursday, she will post the arrangements then… as she is not in on Friday.

Telephone entries please : 01495 201182

The 100 target shoot is £34.00  for Birds Only and £39.00 for prize competition… Both Birds only and Competition targets are valid for selection purposes.

Richard Stepney has reminded us that this is qualification year for the Commonwealth Games where the MCS is 117. For those of you who wish to post a 125 score we will make an extra round available at the end of the day on Saturday and Sunday and there will be an ISSF qualified referee available to officiate. The extra round is £8.50

Please check your membership of the WCTSA is paid and up to date… as no scores can be accepted and there is no WCTSA insurance cover if the membership is not current.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the weekend

Best wishes

Hi Everyone

It’s time to add some detail to the Selection Shoot options for this year. I have already had conversations with some of you and the watchword this year is “flexibility” as none of us know the final outcome with anti-Covid arrangements. The Banquet is still in doubt at the Home International on the 14^th August… but I will inform you of any decisions as the days advance.

The dates are on three weekends primarily to make it work for those of you who travel long distance. They are at SW2000 on the 29^th and 30^th May, the 19^th and 20^th June and the weekend of the 17^th and 18^th July which is also the Welsh Grand Prix weekend. When I reserved these with Mike Amodeo, I was almost immediately trumped by British shooting for the June weekend. So, in discussions with Gareth, we have set out the following framework to give us the best chance of fairly selecting the OSK team :-

Each of these days is to be a selection shoot of 100 targets, a total of 6 selection shoots.

The June fixture for British shooting will count the first four consecutive rounds of the competition as a Welsh qualifier with the points awarded deducted from the highest Welsh shooter’s score.

The best two selection scores ( Points) to count in selecting the team and an MQS must be shot on at least one of the selection shoots.

The Welsh Grand Prix will be the two days 17^th and 18^th July with a 25 target final on the Sunday to decide the open competition, “Old Welsh Rules” again.

Best wishes
