Hope ya put all my tables back. Spent a lot of time there the last two weeks tidying up the entire range(s).
Well done to all, and well done Conor. Hard to wipe that smile of your face i'd say. Very close finish. Only 0.1.
It's great to see such a variety of people competing in terms of age & gender. A thing missing in some disciplines of sports shooting.Forum Charter - Useful Information - Photo thread: Hardware - Ranges by County - Hunting Laws/Important threads - Upcoming Events - RFDs by County

It's better even than that Cass. The young ones are better than we ever could have been at that stage. They have more resources and more ambition, and more cause to be ambitious. They're already getting good results and they're taking up more disciplines. In that photo, there are people who shoot air rifle, prone and three-positions, and are training aggressively. I have no doubt they'll make a serious addition to the pool of talent in the country and maybe down the line they'll decide to change for a different branch of shooting and other disciplines might benefit from all the work we've put in in the college clubs. I hope they do.0 -

I think in the case of DURC it's got a lot to do with all the infrastructural work done over the last number of years to improve the training our novices are getting. Certainly their results are reflecting it. It's a pain in the balls whatever it is.

Everything got put back in its place, don't worry!Well done to all, and well done Conor. Hard to wipe that smile of your face i'd say. Very close finish. Only 0.1.
Yeah, I shot like a complete eejit in the final yesterday so had to scrape myself back up the ladder with every shot. That's the fifth national championships win for me, three indoor at 25yds and two outdoor at 50m. New competition PB yesterday too 620.1 (593/34X in old scoring).It's great to see such a variety of people competing in terms of age & gender. A thing missing in some disciplines of sports shooting.
Yeah, there's more than 45 years between the oldest and youngest shooter in that final. While only 2 out of the 8 finalists were women, 2 out of the 3 women competing made the final and the third missed out on making the final by only 0.9 points. In terms of the experience five of the eight shooters have shot for Ireland at European Championship, World Cup, World Championship and Paralympic competitions.
The mix of ages in particular makes things interesting since the younger shooters keep pushing the older ones and the older shooters have plenty to teach the younger shooters. I'm stuck in the middle! 0 -

I just keep telling myself that their high scores are proof that we did the right things over the last fourteen or so years building up the club from, well, a pretty deep nadir -- we came within pennies of being wound up by DUCAC in '97 if I remember right (For the non-DURC-committee readers, if any TCD Sports Club has a negative balance in the bank account, no matter how small or temporary, on the day they audit the accounts before the start of the year, then that club is wound up. Or at least, that was the rule at the time, hopefully it's gotten less stringent since). To come from that (and being a pretty undervalued and ignored club in the college to boot) to where the club is now (well-respected in college, just over 500 members (aren't we at this stage?) making it the largest sports club in TCD, and with people on the DUCAC committee, not to mention the very high competitive standard of shooting) is something to be quite happy about, and took a lot of work from a lot of people in the club and a lot of help from a lot of people outside the club; and those high scores we're seeing now are the payoff for all of that.
That's what I keep telling myself while grumbling about babysitting while MiCrO's 10m scores go flying past my PB anyway 0 -

I think this is a first. The sun came in the windows of the sports hall being used for the 10m airgun events in the Isle of Man shooting festival. One of the range officers spotted that it was putting glare on one of DURC's shooter's sights and so he stood on a chair to put her in the shade.
