Local clay target shooter Adam Beechey has been named the December Open Gippstar Award recipient.
Beechey produced a standout performance at the Victorian State Down the Line Clay Target Championships, being one of only two competitors in a field of 277 to shoot a perfect 125/125 in the Victorian State Champion of Champions event.
He then went on to win the overall championship after a short shoot-off, claiming his first open individual state title and earning 10 Hall of Fame points towards future induction.
Following his success, Beechey was selected for the five-member Victorian State Team and will compete at the 2026 National Championships in Wagga Wagga in April.
