Shooting

V.U.C. fired in the Haslam Shield match on Saturday, March 31st. Un fortunately, owing to the conditions on which we are allowed the use of Trentham rifle range, we were forced to give up the range which has been prepared and "flagged" for us, as it was required by the military authorities. We had. therefore, to use a range without flags, and as the wind was troublesome, this proved a severe handicap, especially at the long range. Accordingly, V.U.C's total of 743 was not as high as it has been in some previous years.

The Haslam Shield was won by C.U.C. with a total of 793, A.U.C. being second with 791. K. J. Duncan, (A.U.C.), was the highest scorer in the competition with a total score of 114 out of a possible of 135.
