Roseville Members at the N.S.W. Queens
September 16th, 2007 | 
Author: A total of nine Members contested this year’s N.S.W. State Championship that was shot in near perfect weather conditions from the 12th to the 16th September at the Anzac Rifle Range at Malabar.
In the McIntosh, the lead up series, four Members featured prominently in the final aggregate. Ian Palmer 6th, Keirin McCamley 11th, Mark Buchanan 13th and Phillip Hodder finished 17th.
Mike Hodder won the 600 metre match in B Grade
Good shooting continued in the Queens series for many more of the Members.
C Grader Stuart Buchanan was 3rd in the 300 metre match and 2nd at 700m.
In B Grade Mike Hodder was 1st at 600 m, won a special trophy for the combined 600 metre matches and finished 10th in the Grand Championship.
Our Captain Jan Wikstrom was 2nd at 600m, 3nd at 800m and finished 3rd in the Day Two Aggregate.
In A Grade, Mark Buchanan was outstanding, finishing 2nd in the Queens and 4th in the Grand.
Keirin McCamley endured a particularly nasty period in the wind at the final 800 metre shoot and still managed to finish 26th in the Queens and 11th in the Grand.
Phillip Hodder shot consistently well all weekend and won his first Queens Badge, finishing 38th in the Queens and 19th in the Grand.
Ian Palmer won an 800 metre match and finished 20th in the Grand Championship.
All Members who participated in this year’s event will savour the memories, and the camaraderie that was a feature this year, and are already planning for the event next year.
