Smallbore Rifles

Our team is inexperienced but quite capable of results. Norm Rollinson, who last year got the best score for the Massey team, recently shot 599 out of 600 in the Manawatu closed champion ships. Rollinson is the most experienced member of the team, and if he can repeat the above performance, he will be well on the way to get ting the first NZU blue in several years.

Roger Dewhurst only started shooting last year, but he too has been turning in some very good results. Although he is a C grader, he recently came third in the Wellington Open Championships with 498 out of 500, beating amount others Mr. B. Lacey. last year's Empire Games silver medallist.

Roger Smith the team captain, is quite capable of turn-ling in a very good score or collecting knitting needles (in lieu of the wooden spoon)

Pest Dowrick is after a Blue in the hope of keeping up with his wife: undoubtedly a good incentive.

Last, but not least, Sue Lothian is the first woman shooter to get in the Tournament team for quite some years. This was a grand effort considering that Sue only started shooting last April and beat half a dozen men to get into the team.

Strong opposition is expected from Canterbury with Vic only having a slim chance of winning.
