Or the North Islands we wish would go away
This year the regular members of the PPC's "Away Team" were joined by Richard O on his first trip. New Plymouth managed to turn on fine if somewhat cold weather and it was clear after the usual cursory range inspection on the Friday night that it was going to be a hose fest. No steel, no penalty targets and nothing further than about 10m away.
Unfortunatly for some of our members it was not to be a memorable experiance. Jan & Richard were both plagued by gun malfunctions which put them out of the running early on. Brain fades were the order of the day for the rest of the team. The pressure from the host club to get through 12 of the 16 stages on he first day saw the scores really start to tumble at the end of the first day as tiredness & fatigue set in.
Everyone was glad day one finally came to an end and we could retire to beer & pizza.
Day 2 was still cold but fine and everyone had a much better time, (except Richard who was throughly bored with his single shot Beretta) though I believe a new dillon is in his future.
Still with only 4 stages it was soon over. And with 16 Stages and 350+ rounds downrange it was still better than a day at the office.
Final results were
Production; Aaron 5th, Malcolm 19th & Richard 32nd (Though still not last it should be noted).
Standard David 16th, Jan 18th, Derek 20th, Dave 23rd & Marg T 29th (Which means everyone was beaten by James P using a Single Stack 45)
Open Marg B 18th
Well the Nationals are only a few months away, which should give everyone a chance to get their act together.
