In a final round where the weather conditions perfectly suited the title ‘Winter League’ – driving rain and wind it was Jim Starley to come out as winner for the series and new shooter Lee Hopgood to triumph over close place second place David Hill. Jim and Lee win an Aimpoint red dot sight donated by Aimpoint AB.

At the top of the standings it was a close run fight with Jim showing early dominance leaving Kelvin Leaton, Tom Ellaway to chase him down through the season but was not to be and the last round sealed Kelvins fate to third place with an 8th place giving Tom the second placed spot by the narrowest of margins.

 

Matt Liddy and Steve Durrant ended the season level and Dave Salmons coming in as first Senior with Anthony Vizard as first Super Senior and Louise Parr as top lady.

The Aimpoint Winter League is really aimed for new shooters and a we had over 30 new shooters try the sport for the first time which is great to grow the sport and all of them shot well and safely but Lee Hopgood and David Hill rose to the top to complete well against the more experienced competitors, Lee scoring an overall 3rd place in the final round which helped him take the class win over David.
