As submitted by Laurence Gilbey, President, Fredericton Trap & Skeet Club

The Saturday, September 9th, 2023 edition of the Annual RNBRA Provincial Shotgun Championship at the Fredericton Trap and Skeet Club went well, under ideal weather conditions. Each participant shot 25 Skeet, 25 Trap and 50 Sporting clays for the shoot.

We are the only club, that I am aware of, to host all three shotgun disciplines in one event. There were 24 shooters attending.

The results are as follows;

HOA went to Martin Gaudreau from Quebec with a score of 88.
1st Runner up with a score of 87 went to Mike Love from FTSC.
2nd Runner up with a score of 87 went to Laurence Gilbey from FTSC.
High Ladies with a score of 69 went to Melissa Wasson from FTSC.
High Junior with a score of 68 went to Jayden Sullivan of FTSC.

The official RNBRA wall plaque hanging in our clubhouse will be updated with the 2023 results. We wish to thank the RNBRA for providing the handsome walnut award plaques that were presented to the winners of the different categories of achievement.

As an associate member, we also wish to extend our thanks and acknowledgement for the support that the RNBRA has contributed to our club over the years.

To our continued success,
Laurence Gilbey
President, Fredericton Trap & Skeet Club
