Auckland

Carl Olivecrona: Has had an outstanding season in outside competition. He now holds the Southern Hawke's Bay C grade championship and tied for second in the open championship of this shoot. He has figured well in the North Island champs, and in club shooting in his home town. His recent trip to the National Rifle Association annual prize meeting at Trentham, where he qualified for the Final Service Fifty, will have benefited him greatly in experience.

David Holye, our club captain, and one of the mainstays of the club. He shot with some success at the Auckland Rifle Association annual meeting at New Year. His NZU Blue shows that he is capable of turning it on when required and his versatility in handling all conditions suggests that he is not to be taken too lightly.

Ian Batty, a newcomer to tournament. His present form indicates that he can be a solid support for the team.

Canterbury

G. J. Barnard: A good shot under any conditions and can spring surprises. A good team man.

L. R. Brown: An experienced shot in his third Easter tournament. A little inconsistent but much improved from last year.

J. Kilmers: A newcomer to tournament but has been shooting consistently well throughout the season.

R. W. Kingsley: Third tournament. An NZU Blue winner last year, and one of the best shots that the CUC Club has ever had." Should do very well.

T. R. Mercer: Another very experienced tournament man, taking part in his third Easter tournament. He gained an NZU Blue in 1955, and is a very reliable shot.

D. Ranford: Only just missed selection last year, and should do well at Trentham.

I. G. Turner: A capable shot who should do very well in his first tournament.
