Shooting

In the Summer 2005 issue of Pétanque New Zealand magazine, Michael Emerson wrote an interesting article entitled Shooting for Dummies (264kB). If you have the magazine to hand, I suggest re-reading the article.

It is hoped that the Shooting Competition will be re-introduced at the National Triples. The qualifying round will be held on Friday afternoon, with the knockout stages (probably quarter-finals on) will be held after play on Saturday evening.
