Shooting

Shooting

Canterbury are the most likely contenders for top honours this year, having won the Inter-Varsity Championship at least nine times since its inception.

Auckland and Otago are also expected to provide strong challenges.

Competing for Auckland this year will be the top shooter in the Auckland team, Tom Mulvey.

This year he is the Auckland Association's No. 1 shooter for team events having an average score of 99.71 out of a possible 100.

Only two of Vic's 1967 team, Sue Lothian and Norm Robieson are here this year, and while the newcomers to the team, Dave Kent, Rod McLeod, and Gavin Adlam, have been improving it remains to be seen how they will fare under the tension of Tournament competition.

The prospects of success are not great and Tournament will for Vic very likely consist of a battle with Lincoln for the "Wooden Spoon", with the only point in the team's favour being its familiarity with the difficult range that is to be the venue, Brooklyn Rifle Range.
