SEPTEMBER QUIGLEY COMPETITION.
The year’s penultimate Quigley Competition was
held 26th September. Although the weather was
kind enough not to rain, the usual Diggle wind
prevailed. The scores generally reflected this and
were about average for this competition.
At 400 yards, we shoot at the Quigley ‘bucket’
and Carl Hanson took the lead with 59 points,
with Dave Coleman close behind with 58 points
and Richard Healey in third place with 55 points.
