Barlow on song in difficult shoot
Shooting
Extreme Steel Shooting Namibia (XSSNA) presented another successful .22 ELR (extreme long-range) event hosted by Okahandja Shooting Club (OSC) and Tobie Barlow on Saturday.
The competitors were challenged over distances of up to 275 meters, shooting at a 110 mm clay target.
Conditions were tricky with lots of mirage and ever-switching winds, greatly affecting the trajectory of the .22 rim fire rounds at these extreme distances.
The winners for the OSC event were as follows:
Women: Gold – Benita Hough; Silver – Lizelle Oberholzer.
Open: Gold – Michael Barlow; Silver – Tobie Barlow; Bronze – Gerrie Hough.
The same competition was simultaneously hosted by Swakopmund Shooting Club for the coastal shooters, with results as follows:
Open: 1st – Kerneels Brockman; 2nd – Jaco Martinson; 3rd – Mack Peddie.
Juniors: 1st – Mack Peddie; 2nd – Paul du Plessis; 3rd – Corne Brockman.
