2015 Riley Cup Competition:
This years Riley Cup was on Saturday 9th October at the LOPC, along with the monthly HFT League shoot.
This year we brought out the much loved duelling tree s and the format was 6 shots with a Webley at 1 tree at 6 yards and then 6 shots with a .22 Original 5 pistol at the 2nd tree placed out at 10 yards. Scores were 1 point per plate but you needed it to swing all the round to count. (any other hits/clips would not be counted as a point, but would be used in a tied score scenario). Finally there was a single shot at the squirrel with the .22 pistol, which was kill only (2 points – nothing for a hit if you did not kill it)
After each participant had shot, the final positions were
1st – John Masterson (8) and a clip hit
2nd – Antony Wood (8) (took 2nd after a shoot off)
3rd – Paul Clarke (8)
Well done to the above 3, and everyone else who took part, also a BIG congrats to the only 2 people of the day to hit the squirrel kill shot bonus (Dave BG and Jane Radford)
