FURTHER TO their success at the BUSA indoor shooting championships in March this year, Cardiff University Rifle Club have brought the 2007-08 competitive season to a spectacular close.
Last month the Cardiff shooting team travelled to Warrington to attend the BUSA Outdoor shooting championships. Shooting targets at 50 metre and 100 yard distances, team members battled against difficult conditions to bring in a fantastic series of scores. Three of Cardiff’s shooters scored in the top twenty positions, Captain Eric Carter coming in 10th with a score of 764 out of 800 possible points, Luke Stevens in 14th (765/800) and Winston Lewis in 15th (765/800). Individual success was followed by rewards in the team events. The Cardiff ‘A’ Quartet, consisting of Carter, Stevens, Lewis and Nadia Cracknell, took the bronze medal. Having missed out on silver by just 4 points, they were still proud of their achievement; this was the first medal winning performance for Cardiff at the outdoor championships in many years. The success of the quartet was equalled by the Cardiff ‘A’ pairs, where Carter and Lewis again took Bronze medals dropping just 26 points out of 400.
