What a great weekend for our 2026 South Coast Cup, I think it was a record attendance and if it wasn’t it must have been very close. The forecast called for light winds and that typically means some big scores. On Saturday for the centrefire Young Eli certainly didn’t disappoint in that regard shooting a fantastic 269.07 with his light gun to not only take out the juniors but to take out the overall win at 500 on Saturday. Eli also shot the best target in LG with and 58.02 and Anthony took the smallest group a 1.240, What a screamer!!
Sergey as always shot very consistently over the course of the weekend taking 2nd in LG, the overall win in HG and took out the 3 gun. Michael Bennett not only shot the highest target and smallest group a 59.01 @ 0.908 in HG, he beat the old range record that has stood since 2013. Congratulations Michael.
Come Sunday it was time for the 200yd rimfire, and what a day it was for Kathy Dundas. Kath took the win with and amazing 282.07 just two flies off the national record and also shot the best target of the day with a 59.03 @ 1.040. Way to go Kath.
Scottie of Southside Reloading Fame shot the most flies over the weekend with an amazing total of 17. He’s consistency over the weekend paid off as he took out the 2gun centrefire + rimfire with a 3rd in LG, 4th in HG and 2nd in the rimfire.
I think the biggest winner of the weekend, if only for the big smile he always seems to walk around with 😀 was Young Lawson who not only came 2nd in the JR’s but walked away with the Garmin chronograph that was donated by Teresa and Bruce from Mollymook Beach Hut.
