GB were once again in attendance to support the SCA Australian Sporting Nationals last week, with this year’s event being held at the scenic Brisbane Sporting Clays ground. Many congratulations to GB shooters Nate Palubiski, Blake Nankervis, Xavier Russell, Chris Brown and Georgia Rogers for winning medals using our GB Extreme cartridges. Congratulations also to the Papaluca brothers for winning the Junior and Sub-Junior categories with GB cartridges.
Nate, pictured above, despite still being a junior shooter, took the overall High Gun with an impressive 187/200 clays, winning his first Sporting Clays Nationals High Gun title in magnificent style by leading the field from the start and holding off Australia’s best shooters in a high-pressure final round by shooting 25/25 clays to win the overall title by a single clay.
Blake won the men’s AA category, with Xavier and Chris (all pictured on the podium above), taking second and third positions, respectively. A fantastic clean-sweep podium for Team GB! Xavier had an incredible final two days by shooting 98/100 clays, cleaning 50/50 targets on the final day.
GB lady shooter Georgia Rogers (pictured above in 1st position) also shot extremely well over the four days to claim her first SCA Nationals title. An amazing and very successful event for Team GB in Australia.
GB were in attendance at the 46th Australian Sporting Clay National Championships which took place from 21st – 24th November across two shooting grounds, Laang and Timboon FGA in the state of Victoria. Both picturesque grounds had been prepared impeccably with a wide range of challenging targets. Each location was configured with 4 grounds each, with the competitors alternating between Laang and Timboon to shoot 50 targets on each of the four days. The first two days were warm with good shooting conditions whilst the third and fourth days had more wind, providing additional challenges for the competitors.
Many congratulations to GB shooter Blake Nankervis (pictured below) for winning the Scratch/High Gun title using our GB Extreme cartridges. Congratulations also to GB Junior shooter Nate Palubiski for his silver medal in the Junior category and Sub-Junior GB shooter Brody Leigh for his win in the Handicap High Gun.
Many congratulations must also go to Sporting Clays Australia for an excellently organised event.
