Handgun Metallic Silhouette Queensland State Championships
7-9 May 2010




The SSAA Queensland Handgun Metallic Silhouette State Championships were held at SSAA Brisbane from 7 to 9 May. There were 27 shooters competing, from as far north as Mackay, south to the Gold Coast, west to Esk and 13 locals. In total, 164 Silhouette matches were shot during the three days of competition - that equates to 7380 rounds being fired downrange! When you consider that a single match takes just more than an hour to complete, you can see how quite a bit of shooting was squashed into the few days.

The weather was exceptionally kind for the whole time. While it was a bit cool on the firing line early in the morning, the days ended up very pleasant and the 200m ram targets only had to be clamped for part of one day due to a stiff breeze.

There were only two perfect scores shot for the weekend - the two 40s were in Big Bore Unlimited and were shot by Marel Donaldson and Richard Blayden. Marel went on to win the shoot-off to break the tie.

Seven competitors entered for all 10 matches and the 10-Match Aggregate Trophy was won by SSAA Brisbane member Richard Blayden with a score of 289. In second place was another SSAA SSAA Brisbane member, Tom McCormick, with a score of 264 and in third place was Jeffrey Bennett from Fraser Coast with 170.

At the Handgun Metallic Silhouette Discipline meeting, Hazel Bozic was re-elected as Queensland Discipline Chairman.

Thanks must go to Chris and Duncan for their help in getting the range and firing line ready for the shoot, to Kaye for running the canteen and to all the competitors who helped out with range duties during the matches.
