The Ninth Annual Prize Meeting 1869
There had been some doubts raised by the reduced number of entries in the previous year. The weather had been beautifully fair and there were 72 entries.
The Nottinghamshire Rifle Association though need not have worried because this year's meeting attracted 98 competitors for the first match at 200, 500 and 600 yards, despite the poor weather conditions on the first day which continued into the second day.
Prizes were awarded to the top 11 competitors at each range and to the top 6 aggregate scores. Scores at the top were closely matched in the range 17 to 14 out of 20 at all three distances. The top 6 in the aggregate went from Sergeant J Toplis on 44 ex 60 down to Sergeant T, Hodgson on 41.
The second match was for Enfield rifles at 500 and 600 yards and prizes totalling £20 were awarded for the top 9 scores. The winner was Private T. Lambert on 34 ex 40, counting out Captain R. Evans on the same total.
The third match was for prizes sponsored by the Nottinghamshire Rifle Association and was shot at 200 and 500 yards. The top score of 31 ex 40 was made by Colour-Sergeant G Sollory, who collected £5. He was followed by Sergeant Aves a point and a pound behind.
Finally we are given the scores for the National Rifle Association bronze medal. Sergeant E A Cuckson and Captain R. Evans both made a score of 42 and a sudden death tie-shoot was held to settle the matter. Both competitors scored 3 with their first shot; but Cuckson slipped to a 2 against another 3 by Evans, giving the latter the bronze medal.
The scores for the bronze medal do not tally with the other scores listed in the report and no further information is given on which to resolve where they came from. Perhaps there was a fourth match for the bronze medal which led to the excitement of the tie shoot.
