Northeast Tower and Medley Championships at the Euroa Clay Target Club on Sunday showcased some impressive shooting skills from local competitors.

The Northeast Zone Tower Championship, a unique event where targets are thrown approximately nine metres above the competitors’ heads, saw three shooters score the perfect 25 targets.

After a shoot-off, Mansfield's Jason Foster clinched the win with a flawless 48/48 score, delivering a very fine effort that proved his skill and precision.

The Medley Championship, equally challenging, was won by Colbinabbin’s Lee Fitzgerald, who scored an impressive 123/125.

The event consists of 75 targets, split into three parts:

25 double barrel targets, 25 single barrel targets, and a point score event.

In the point score round, shooters earn three points for a first barrel hit, two points for a second barrel hit, and lose three points for a miss.

Despite a nail-biting finish, where one competitor missed a critical target, Fitzgerald’s consistent performance sealed the victory, with just two points to spare.
