More offen than not, the demands of designing and setting up the course resull in the shoot being off the mark on the day. Not so, however, in the case of Terrace’s Fred Straw at the recent. Northwest Team Challenge hand-. gun event hosted. by the local Kernnodei Shooters. Having. drawn, up a series of challenging stages, Straw showed his fellow competitors just how they should be shot by finishing, first in five out of éight. In doing. so, he amassed a match point total of 429.77, good enough for top. spot overall and among ‘A’ class shooters. — Ed Morris finished 40 points back to finish runner-up to Straw in both categories. Terry Morris’ .366.36 tally brought him third overall and the _lead position for'B’ class. Mike Lee (335.42) topped the “C’ category while Ceasar Guidoriagao of Prince Rupert denied Terrace a clean sweep by taking the ‘D’ class with 270. 88 points, ~ Guidoriagao and - teammates Arturo Femnill, Bob Johuston, Antonio Abanilla~ and Gil Abanilla combined for 1,237 points and the title in the team event, Calling themselves Ex- strawvaganza -- what else. -- the Straw clan of Fred, Bart, Steven, Lucia and Joshua were runners- up with 1,180 points. Although bottom in the team competition, the Kitimat Loners, Terry Morris and Bob Gregg, amassed an impressive total for a two-man team of 656 points. Top lady shooter on the day was Louise Folmer wilh a match tolal of 203.12 points. The competitors were al] mem-: bers of the Practical Shooters ar- ganization. - .. This particular style of shooting - orlginated in the United States where it was devised by Amer-" ican servicemen. who wanted to take part in recreational shooting. An event is made up of individ- ual stages cach with their own particular features. At this particular shoot, for ex- ample, one stage required the competitor to first shoot between two barrels at targets to the left, centre and right, then move 30° fect to the right and shoot through another barrel at two more sels of targels, Scoring is calculated on a com: | bination of points scored and time taken to complete the stage. For example, on one stage at the Aug. 22 meet, the second Hockey schedule a oraitencé Early signs are Terrace Minor Hockey organizers are poing to face a challenge selling ice times for this winter’s action. With the Clubs Day registration still to come, _spokesman Brian Downie said the number of players signed up had passed the 220 mark as of last Satur- day. That’s already better than two thirds the number of players who joined up last year and he pointed out Clubs Day traditionally sees a heavy sign up.’ With ice time at a premium and nine divisions to contend with, he said working out a schedule would fastest shooter finished back in 14th on stage 1. That’s because he hit for only eight points. Placings are worked out on a hit factor which is total points for a stage divided by the time taken to complete. The stages for each event are drawn up by a different individu- _al which, says Kermodei member — Marg Saulnicr, means — the shooters are always facing sonic- . thing different. Often, the course designer will concentrate on particular . arcas where they fecl they need to be- comenore proficient... ‘f¥You can see -how ‘they i ire trying. to challenge, ‘themsclves as -.well/as the other competitors,” "she explains, And other times, the driving force behind ihe course fayoul is pure fun, Sauluier adds. The Kermodei club includes ap- proximately 40 members from Terrace, Kitimat and. Kemano and is one of the most active in the province. Saulnier said the club is hoping to put together a major event next year which would draw shooters from across the province.

It will also likely breathe new life into the push for a second sheet of ice here, . Providing an carly impetus to the. registration was the annual summer hackey schoo] which ended its two week slint of inlensive instruction last Saturday. Youngsters of all ages were pul through their paces, practising set piece exercises targeting specific skills, then trying them oul in game action. They also got a chance to rub shoulders with Ter- race’s NHLers, Wade Flaherty and Jeff Sharples. GETTING READY for the new hockey sea- son, local youngsters turned out in force for this years hockey school. The two weeks of instruction on the finer points of the game wound up Saturday. Whether it was practis- ing breakaways down the wing (left) or going in on goal (right), the participants attacked their tasks with gusto. Literally, a sign (above, right) of what they might one day achieve was the list of. players on the of the city's past provincial PeeWee championship. team.
