| The Lawman cometh . . .
|
8th February 2010 |
Robin Law took the honours in the Carlisle Air GP yesterday with
a 585+100.6 - and with the final grand prix in Glenrothes to come the
Alloa man is in a strong position to win the series in three weeks' time.
Emma Cole-Hamilton from Bon Accord was second with 578+99.1 in an A Class field
depleted by members of the Scotland squad, amongst others such as the Isle of
Man's Gemma Kermode and Steven Watterson, being away on international duty in
Holland for the InterShoot event.
Take nothing away from Law's achievements, though, as he remains on course to
continue his amazing runs of wins in the Air GP series, having won every title
to date. He saw his chance to consolidate his position in the GP table and did
so with his best performance this winter steadily, improving during the shoot.
Mark Joyce shot well in B class, scoring 562 despite having little chance to
train as the Forres range suffered roof damage in the recent snow storms while
Fiona Park continued to make good progress with a new personal best of
553.
Jamie Hodgson won C class with 543 and continues to show steady improvement in a
discipline he only took up recently.
In the pistol event, the final was a runoff between Mark Joyce and Bruce
McIntosh. A poor final shot sealed
McIntosh's fate and means it is likely Joyce will win that series as well.

| Williamson rises to the
occasion in the Hague |
6th February 2010 |
Proof positive that taking part in big competitions helps
shooters raise their game came from the Hague today. There was a big jump
in Kathryn Williamson's personal best score as she went from 374 on
Thursday to 383 on Saturday. Jen McIntosh couldn't quite match her
achievements from Day 2, recording a 387 while Kay Copland hit 382. In the Men's
Air Rifle, Graham Rudd scored 581 but missed out on the final.
| McIntosh: The next Jen-eration |
6th February 2010 |
Jennifer McIntosh flew the flag for Scotland - and the
McIntosh target shooting dynasty - with a bronze
medal on Day 2 of InterShoot in Holland.
 Jen,
18, is the daughter of Shirley and Donald McIntosh from Falkirk whose reputation
needs little introduction (they are both in the SSRA Hall of Fame), and her
rapid rise in Scottish and international target shooting shows little sign of
abating. After Thursday's 385, she came back out and scored 390 on Friday. Her
quest to reach the final was more successful than on Day 1 but also rather more
dramatic, as it took a tie-shoot to squeeze her in. Jen was joined in the
ten-shot play-off by Kay Copland who had recorded an excellent 391. Jen then
notched 101.8 to take
bronze with 491.8. Unfortunately Kay slipped back a little to finish with 489.9
and seventh place.
Meanwhile, in the Men's Air Rifle event, Graham Rudd just missed
out on a place in the final when his 586 - two points better than Thursday's
score - was a single point shy of a chance at medal glory.

| Rudd shows Dutch of class
at InterShoot |
4th February 2010 |
 The Scottish contingent were much in evidence on Day 1 of InterShoot in the Hague. Edinburgh's Graham Rudd reached the Men's Air Rifle
final with 584 and finished sixth overall after 104.1 in the final for a total
of 688.1.
Kay Copland also reached a final, the Junior Women's Air Rifle, racking up a
personal best of 389 before running out with 488.2 - and she came so close to
being in the medals, but her final shot of 8.6 just edged her out, leaving her
in 7th. Jen McIntosh missed out on the final by just two points
after a 385. And Kathryn Williamson was another to hit a PB, with a score of 374.
There was drama in the Women's Air Rifle event where Belgians Stephanie
Vercrusse and Daisy de Bock
were tied on 490.0 after the final ten shots. If you
have not seen the Intershoot software scoring in action, it really is impressive
to watch from the comfort of your chaise longue. A tie-break shot was fired and
Vercrusse's 10.6 edged out De Bock's 10.2.Bon-Accord's 2006 Commonwealth Games double champion Sheena Sharp just missed out a place
in the final with 382.

| Stirton firmly on track |
4th February 2010 |
Aberdeen's Neil Stirton has recently been accepted into the
latest draft of the World Class Programme by governing body
British Shooting, and with all
eyes on the preparations for the London 2012 Olympic Games, he took the time to
give ssra.co.uk his thoughts on what the support of the programme means for him
. . .
"I am delighted to now be supported in such a positive way by UKSport, Scottish
Institute for Sport and of course British Shooting. Each play a key role in my
overall fitness, strength, well-being but most importantly, performance ," said
Stirton, 28.
"After being made redundant back in 2008, I realised what could be achieved
through hard but also 'smarter' training on a more full-time basis, reaching an
all-time career high of sixth in the world rankings after winning silver at the
Munich World Cup. I then went back into a six-month contract job to earn
enough to see me through for the rest of 2009. Back to full-time work hindered
my progression on the newly taken up air rifle and 3P.
"It was then I knew I'd have to find a better way of allowing me to train on
a full-time basis. Through careful financial planning and with the support from UKSport, it is possible for me to concentrate on what I love doing ... Shooting!
" Training has been going according to plan, and I just hope it continues to do
so ," he went on. "The next two years are extremely packed with training camps
and competitions, which I'm thoroughly looking forward to. The plan is not to go
out and win everything now but rather use the experience and training to build
the solid foundations needed to try and win a quota for London, peaking just at
the right time!"

| Scotland squad beats the
winter blues |
25th January 2010 |
 With the Commonwealth Shooting Federation Championships in Delhi
less than a month away, the Scotland squad beat the bad weather here and gained
some vital acclimatisation into the bargain at a winter training camp in South
Africa.
Training took place at the Eagle Eye shooting centre in the Magaliesburg Meander
near Gauteng, a venue whose elevation is 1450m, higher than Ben Nevis, so the
air is noticably thinner - which tested all of the shooters.
“The conditions were what we needed to prepare for India. Temperature and wind
both increased during the week and we were able to get through a lot of
training,” said Mike Ozmond. “Overall it was a very worthwhile exercise and we will see
the benefits in Delhi.”
'A' Squad Coach Donald McIntosh commented: "From my perspective, the Eagle
Eye centre is a first-class facility offering warm weather training in our
winter, and without the massive time-zone changes that going to Australia would
involve. It combines the same excellent Meyton targets that we use when training
in Hannover, and with good quality accommodation right on the doorstep.
"Getting
away from the grind of training winter in the cold and wet is a great lift to
the spirits, and although the temperature and altitude provide challenging
conditions for the athletes, we can expect to see the benefits in the next few
weeks and months.With only a few weeks to go until we depart for the
Commonwealth Championships in Delhi, it’s great for the shooters to get outside
again and get their tactical skills honed before entering the international
arena in what is a very early competition for us this year."
The Eagle Eye centre is run with the help of Martin Senore, an South African
small-bore rifle shooter at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Want to know more? Click

There was victory for Scotland in the NSRA/Eley Inter Regional
Match held at Aldersley (and satellite venues such as Denwood) at the weekend with the pairing
of Kathryn Williamson from Lockerbie and Aberdeen's Fiona Park winning the
women's team event.
The competition, staged at the national indoor shooting centre near
Wolverhampton on 17 January, brought together
air rifle and pistol competitors from all over GB, the Channel Islands and the
Isle of Man.
Edinburgh athletes Andrew Ross and Fraser Cheetham came fifth in the men's pairs
while all four had creditable
results in the individual competitions.
The detailed scores can be found

| Watterson
back to winning ways |
20th January 2010 |
Steve Watterson came away from Denwood with his second Air Rifle
Grand Prix win of the season after the Watsonians club's Manxman held off
Alloa's Robin Law in the ISSF final by 683.6 to Law's 676.7. Watterson's
compatriot Gemma Kermode was third with 666.8.
Turn-out is usually good at Denwood because so many shooters are based in the
Granite City. However, this year it was lower because the Scottish squad were in
South Africa for some warm weather training ahead of the CSF championships in
Delhi next month.
"Qualifying was hard work," Watterson admitted. "My hold wasn't quite there and
there were plenty of 9.9s and 10.0s. Due to the low turn-out, there was a bit of
a spread between first, second and third, but Robin shot another strong final.
Gemma (Kermode) was the real star though, hitting a good portion of heavy tens
to finish with an excellent final."
The line-up for the Grand Prix was bolstered by Andy Ross, Fraser Cheetham and
Jamie Hodgson who made the trip up from Edinburgh. Hodgson is new to air weapon
events but with the help of some intensive training and his shiny new
Feinwerkbau P700 the Heriot-Watt microbiology student's performances are on an
upward curve.
"Not bad at all, training is paying off," he commented. "There was a bit of a
balls-up with firing points which shook my nerves a bit but I felt I could have
given more."
Mark Joyce, Fiona Park and Cheetham had a good battle through the final and Park
did very well to move up a place.
Under-25 coach Sinclair Bruce found some time to take part in one detail and
revealed that the discovery that one target changer was missing when the range
was put together meant the competition started with seven lanes and initially
caused problems for the organisers.
"With Cyril [de Jonckheere] and myself tinkering we did manage to get the
competitors through to the end," explained the SSRA's Jim McIntosh.
"There were a number of decent performances, particularly from the female
pairing of Fiona Park & Kathryn Williamson - encouraging for the future," Bruce
said.
In the air pistol final Bruce McIntosh from St Andrews won the event with an
aggregate of 631, fending off Mark Joyce from Forres with 620.6. Bill Hamilton
of Balerno & Currie came third with 600.8.
"It was a return to my old form," said Bruce McIntosh. "I don't think I've shot
a match like that in three years. Only a couple of stray shots, in the middle of
the match, kept me below the 540 mark.
"The Olympic-style final brings on slightly different pressures, with each shot
value being called out, and an awareness that there's an audience watching. I
enjoy shooting in finals, and have shot some pretty good ones in the past, but
it's been a while since I went into a final in the lead, so thoughts of winning
began to intrude towards the end, and I had to work quite hard to retain focus
on my technique. A good day out!"
"The results really speak for themselves," said Jim McIntosh. "There was some
good shooting and efforts by all who took part. Once more the pistol shooters,
by the numbers who turned up, saved the day,as the rifle numbers would not have
made the event worthwhile."
All the
scores are available here and the next
stop on the Grand Prix circuit is Carlisle on Sunday 7 February.

The heat is on for the
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014 – already. Looking beyond the headline acts
of those shooters who are training hard with this ultimate goal on the horizon,
there
are a great number of types of supporting role to be filled including
judges, recorders, technical officials and event managers without whom the
shooting events will simply not work – and the SSRA is keen to enlist your help
in recruiting and preparing those key people.
You won't get a medal but you could lend your
experience to ensure that the Games go smoothly and the sense of satisfaction in
doing that will be as good as a podium place. It is hugely important that the
shooting events within the Games demonstrates a professionalism and dedication
to getting it right that goes beyond the competitors - how the events are staged
will have a significant bearing on the perception of whether this nation can
stage future international events as well as help promote and nurture the sport
on these shores. According to SSRA Council member Jim McIntosh, the Games
organisers would like Scotland, as the host nation, to provide more than 50 per
cent of all officials. It may be four years until the event but that time will
be required to prepare personnel. Based on the model of the 2002 Games in
Manchester, in excess of 127 officials may be required for the categories of
Juries, Appeal, Full Bore, ISSF, Pistol, Shotgun and Classification. At this
moment McIntosh admits he only knows of two residents in Scotland with current
qualifications which he believes would enable them to participate.
Jim has kicked things off
by getting the ISSF to agree to
provisionally agree to run
an ISSF Judges qualifying course in Scotland – provided sufficient numbers can
be found to attend it. This would be a weekend course with date and location
arranged depending on the level of interest. There is a wide range of categories
of officials needed for Glasgow, so get in touch with Jim at
jim@mack25.freeserve.co.uk for
more information.
Perhaps you already have a
level of experience in ministering over shooting events, or perhaps you would
like to step up to the plate and gain it. Either way, your help and enthusiasm
will be needed. If you would like to make a note of your interest in applying
for a judging course visit

and
open a Judges Licence application form, which can be filled in and submitted

| Magic roundabout for Kermode |
27th December 2009 |
|
Gemma Kermode took the honours in Glenrothes when the Isle of Man
shooter held off the challenge of Alloa's Robin Law to win the SSRA Air
Grand Prix.
Kermode, from Laxey, who came fourth at Callander in the last round, scored 667.2 to
Law's 665.7 in A class before emerging victorious in the ISSF-style
final where she survived Law's fightback of 97.7 to win on aggregate
after a 96.2. Kermode is relatively new to airgun events so the win was
a positive step in her preparations for the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
Mark Joyce from Forres was literally in a class of his own to win the B
classification with 541 and finished third overall in the Grand Prix
after an aggregate of 635.5 following a final string of 94.5.
Fiona Park of Aberdeen University Rifle Club came fourth after the
winner of C class finished with 629.5 following the final, but there was
a tie shoot for the first time with Kathryn Williamson winning over
James Henderson with a nice 10.5 to James' 8.1.
The Fife new town is better known for its plethora of roundabouts so
spare a thought for Steve Watterson who may be wishing he too could turn
full circle and give it another go after a frustrating dip in form meant
the Manx A class winner from Callander had to pull out.
In the pistol event Lawrence Cooper had the shoot of the season for him
in the 60-shot match - with a borrowed pistol - to finish with 610.l,
just behind Mark Joyce on 611.1.
The overall entries were down on last month, what with the Scottish
squad away doing their Christmas shopping in Hanover, and a number of
students deciding that they required to do a bit more work than usual
for the end of the current semester - for work, read Christmas parties?
You decide...
For the hardy souls who did make the journey, their dedication deserves
a mention. Edinburgh pistol shooter Monka Foo braved morning
temperatures of -5 Celsius and a bank of pea-soup fog that straddled the
Forth to get to the range, where that stakhanovite Cyril de Jonckheere
had made sure the club and range was suitably warmed and set up. Balerno
& Currie's Bill Hamilton almost forgot about his 11am air pistol
squadding but soldiered on and got a slot at 1pm instead where he
managed to win D class.
"The others just shot worse than I did," he said which is being a bit
harsh, after all one un-named shooter arrived to discover he had left
his pistol back in the safe at the club.
The
SSRA's Jim McIntosh commented: "The next Grand Prix is at Denwood where four years ago the rifle final had just 0.2 splitting the
top two places. Let's hope the event on 17 January can be similarly
exciting with the squads all being at home and suitably refreshed." |
| Alloa & District Rifle Club have announced two new outdoor events for 2010 |
27th December 2009 |
|
June 20 will see a "Triple
Dewar" competition, with course of fire 60 shots at 50 metres and 60
shots at 100 yards. A further competition, in the "English Match" style,
ie 60 shots at 50 metres, will be staged in August 2010 on a date still
to be confirmed. Entry forms will be sent out to members and anyone

It's an exciting time for
the Alloa club, as their indoor range at Kincardine, shared with Sands
Rifle Club, is undergoing the final stages of work for Three-Position
firing points which, when complete, will make it one of the few
complexes in Scotland capable of supporting 3P events. |
| Grand Prix Glory for Mac
at Gagie |
7th September 2009 |
|
 They
may have turned up expecting to die with their wellington boots on at
Gagie near Dundee yesterday but Scotland A squad and GB coach Donald
McIntosh showed that his boots were made for winning as he took Class A
in the last Grand Prix of the SSRA season. His score of 592 +
102.3 was just enough to see off the challenge of Mike Ozmond - by an
incredible 0.5 points. Still, Mike, the man who won the Haig at Forres,
could console himself with the fact he won the overall Grand Prix
series.
"The wind was fairly light most of the time, but could
flare up and we had a bit of movement up and down the range, quite hard
to read at times. I lost quite a few nines vertically at the end of the
GP," said Donald. "I was playing with some new sights (the Centra Spy
rearsight and Crystal foresight) which let me see more flags, but I shot
my best card of the day (200 to start) with my normal Hämmerli rearsight...
"I really enjoy getting to shoot a couple of the GPs at the end of the
summer, when the international season is over, and it's good to remain
competitive domestically, in prone at least, despite how little my job
allows me to shoot these days."
Mike found that the flood waters
which had affected much of north Fife and Tayside in the previous 72
hours had begun to abate.
"When Cyril [de Jonckheere] started putting on his
water-proof trousers we thought that rain was imminent, but it never
amounted to more than the lightest drizzle," he explained.
The SSRA Grand Prix series is a serious competition,
staged all over Scotland but, as ever in target shooting, there is
always room for some lighter moments. "Someone was inspired to launch a
few paper boats, possibly as an aid to reading the wind, which was
tricky all through the day," Mike went on. "Our biggest concern was that
the sun would break through and dazzle us with its reflection in the
water."
With only 13 shooters in A and B class, they were all
destined to reach the next round as there were 15 places in the Grand
Prix itself. Even Northern Ireland internationalist Cliff Ogle, who
arrived too late to shoot his first card, still made it into the second
round, only shooting 40 shots to count.
 After
the second round and going into the ten-shot ISSF-standard final,
Matthew Thomson and Mike were tied on 590 and after the final they still
could not be separated, having scored exactly the same as well. And so,
the eleventh shot at the end of the final was used to separate them, and
Mike was finally ahead by 0.1, the smallest possible margin, pushing
Matthew into third overall on the day.
Meanwhile, Selkirk's Bill Vaughan won Class B with 594
while Balerno & Currie's Andrew Ross took C class and the overall C&D
series title with a 592. Andrew's performance may mean he is bound for
Class B next season though, as he admitted ruefully, he should have
probably been there already...
"For the first match I found the conditions fairly easy
to read and chose to shoot on a light wind from 9 o’clock. My
first match went well, it could have been much better however, but I
started thinking too much during my last 5 shots and ended up with a
95." said Scotland Under-21 athlete Andrew who competes with Balerno &
Currie as well as Alloa & District. "For a win in the Series I needed to
gain three points on Ian Malone. I didn’t have a great shoot and only
managed to come away with four points. Fortunately for me though, Ian
didn’t manage to pick up any, so in a way I guess I was lucky."
"As per usual the Gagie GP ran without fault,
congratulations to Peter, Pat and Jennifer for all their hard work, the
shoot would not run without them," said Selkirk's Bill Vaughan. "The
first comp went fine for me but the wheels came off in the GP and final,
I fired too many wild shots to maintain my lead in the championship.
Must try harder next year!"
SSRA's Jim McIntosh reflected on a dramatic finale to the Scottish
outdoor season: "There was a chill factor with the wind that caught out
a number of the competitors. Other than that the figures and results
show that once more if we had any doubt, our great leader (Donald) can
still put it on having won the 3P GP at Denwood [on Saturday] then going
on to win on Sunday.
"With the final second and third place decided on the
tiebreaker , that really does show that we in Scottish ISSF shooting do
have quality in depth." |
