2013 Arn Hammond
The Arn Hammond team shoots have finished for the season 2012-2013 with both Roseville TR #1 and F Class Teams victorious again.
Team #1 had a large buffer going into the last range, 800m, and in the end needed every point to secure victory over Hornsby #1. Conditions seemed mild before the shoot but all coaches found the wind very tricky and hard to keep in check. Roseville #1 scored the third lowest score that day in the trying conditions but congratulations goes to Roseville #2, who won the last range by 2 points from Gosford.
Members for the Team #1 consisted of Mark, Phill, James, Mr. T, Dmitri and Hutcho. Team #2 were Tim, Jon, Alex, Fernando, Paul and Andrew.

Roseville F Class were coming in second place before the final stage from HRSL Yellow. They showed tremendous strength and ability to not only take the day from Hornsby by 3 points but also take over the lead with a final points lead of 9 from HRSL Blue! Congratulations to all the team for another great win. The F Class team consisted of Allan, Mike, Don, Graham, Gary, Rochelle and Matt.
