A Day of Autumn Skeet

Moore victorious in 2021 Skeet Medley

The annual Meary Veg Skeet Medley sponsored by Manx Petroleum’s was held at Meary Veg Santon in dull and overcast conditions.

The leader after the English Skeet was Paul Mihailovits with 23 points with Dave Corlett, Jeff Corkill and Peter Kelly next on 22. The next discipline was Manx Skeet and we had a new leader in John Moore on 44 with Paul Mihailovits and Dave Corlett next on 43.

Skeet doubles was the next form of skeet shooting to be held and John Moore was still in the lead on 69 closely followed by Paul Mihailovits in second place on 68 with Dave Corlett next on 66 in third place. The last skeet discipline was Olympic skeet and this sorts normally sorts the men from the boys and it didn’t disappoint . Nicky Barnett took C class on 58 points. In B class junior Joe Faragher was third on 71 with another junior David Cowin in second place on 77 and in first place in B class was Peter Kelly on 79.

We had a tie for second place in A class between Mark Barnett and Dave Corlett on 83 with the third round leader John Moore taking A class with 84 having scoring only 15 points in the Olympic skeet which left Paul Mihailovits to take the Skeet Medley championship with 87 points – well shot Paul!

Bank Holiday Bonanza

It was a busy Tynwald Day weekend at Meary Veg, with a good turnout across two annual summer championships; our Pro Sporting GP on Sunday and the popular Skeet Doubles on Monday. Both events were well attended and even the Croaghan paid us a flying visit once the fog had lifted, adding an unexpected element to the Sporting shoot.

After the fourth and final round it was still all square with Mihailovits and Cowley tying on 90 so a shoot off was required to find a winner over a completely new layout.

It was neck and neck till the instant pairs but Juan just managed to get over the line hitting 22 to Pauls 21. In the classes Nicky Barnett was the winner of C class with 76 points. In B class Peter Kelly finished in third place on 83 with Brian Faragher taking second place on 84 with Paul Mihailovits taking the class prize with 90 points.
