Shooting

Shooting

Again this team played its part in the retention of the "wooden spoon" by gaining fourth place in Tournament shooting.

Conditions were comparable in effect with last year at Dunedin and although the day was fine there was a tricky wind and the light creating shadows on the targets made it difficult for the V.U.W. team to condition themselves to the range. In the team Ian Newton was unlucky not to gain his second Blue and John Todd shot very well, showing that he will be a useful asset to C.U.C. nevt year. Both Ian Chatwin and Jim Mansell did not perform as well as they were expected to.

The three M.A.C. members of the team, John Elemers, John Withers and Stewart Picker, did not shoot up to expectations and will no doubt do better when they enter their own team next year. All in all, Easter coming early and no shoot off with M.A.C. and difficult conditions combined to make for Victoria "the sheer joy of participating" their only reward for 1958.
