Issue 16 – October 2015 - The Australian Junior Shooter

Assistant Editor Dave Rose covers the 2015 SSAA National Junior Challenge, which was held at the Glenorchy range in Tasmania in July. Some of this year’s shooting stars include brothers Laughlan and Harry Freeman, who finished first and third respectively in the Under 15 title on their home range, and South Australia’s Jordan Robinson, who won the 15-18 title. Jared McCarthy details how he made a remarkable transition from an under-achiever to an accomplished international Air Rifle Field Target shooter. Joseph Nugent and Matt Fox each share stories on hunting red deer and goats with their fathers, while Victorian sisters Kimberly and April Buttress say they too would like to try hunting but are currently making solid progress from being rank novice shooters to competing at the SSAA National Junior Challenge.
