So after many months of training, the Team NZ, took our game to the Australian’s! There was a huge amount of competition at this event, as after this, there is only one more event to gain a slot for Rio 2016. We had our work cut out for us. I enjoyed the person rivalry we
What an experience!! After so much training for my R1, it was quite an eye opener to shoot so well in R3. Great competition with great people, well run with the assistance of Rob & Dave, cheers guys. Wrangled myself a PB in NZ Open match on Saturday, happily finishing in 4th position. On Sunday getting
It just so happened that two days before the competition (after weeks of some serious training) I started to get sick (Sick as man-fulenza). While driving down to Hamilton, I was thinking to myself “What am I doing? I’m getting sick & still going to this competition!” Yes, yes I was and that’s the only reason

Yet another Highnoon shot in our great range. Due to weather and emotional prep, I did not shoot my best. Still in keeping with the competition I think I can still hold it together for the next couple of Highnoons.
After the event, my coach and I realised that my shooting position needs attention, and my score reflected that. With the help of Stan rebuilding my new table top, I’ll just have to see hw it goesover the next few weeks of training.
