THE eight Guernsey marksmen who will compete for the Channel Islands Championship against Jersey were decided in a high quality meeting at Fort Le Marchant.

A Queen’s I course of fire, in which the marksmen fire two sighting shots and seven shots to count at 300, 500 and 600 yards, decided the eight.

At 300 yards club captain Peter Jory (pictured) opened his account with a 35.03, but he was headed at this stage by Sylvia Sirett on 35.05 with some six other shooters losing a single point, including Pete Sirett who dropped his last, to count for the third time this season.

Moving back to 500 yards, Phil Ogier and Jory both scored a maximum possible 35.07 followed by Pete Sirett, getting it right for a change, on 35.06 and Bob Cushing on 35.05 while Sylvia Sirett dropped her last, to count for a 34.03.
