Target Shooting Ireland

Sean Baldwin of the Defence Forces Shooting Team won both the Weekend and 50m aggregate competitions whilst Conor McDermottroe of MNSCI won the 100 yard aggregate. 14 competitors took part in what was  an intense and enjoyable competition which was run over the weekend of 21st/22nd August 2010.

Conditions were relatively calm, although varying from dead calm to light winds depending on the day and time. Bright sunshine at times made for some testing details but all in all it was an enjoyable and challenging match.
