Craig Simpson and Aliana McMaster copped the coveted titles of HOA (highest overall) and Ladies champion respectively at last Sunday’s staging of the Rangers Gun Club Sporting Clays Classic on the expansive driving course at the Tru-Juice complex in Bog Walk, St Catherine.

Approximately 145 shooters competed for top honours in various categories under punishing heat and high humidity throughout the day.

Simpson missed his first target on Station 17 where he started his competition. He recovered and picked off the other five targets. He only missed two more until he got to Station 10, then came Station 11 or the ‘bonus station’ which proved very challenging for everyone but he got three. Overall he only missed 11 targets for a score 89 which was good enough to bag the HOA title.
