Sampson looking to break clear on 10m Air Rifle leaderboard
Six points separate the top three competitors on the Open 10m Air Rifle Performance Series leaderboard going into the Target Rifle South Australia Championships at the Wingfield Rifle Range commencing tomorrow.
After six Open 10m Air Rifle Performance Series events to date, South Australia’s Jack Rossiter (95 points) holds a slender one point lead over Queensland’s Dane Sampson (94) and is six points clear of his sister Tori Rossiter (89).
Ironically, Sampson has yet to capture a 10m Air Rifle victory this year with the Rossiter siblings, South Australia’s Alex Hoberg, and Victorians Elise Collier and Michael Davis sharing top place on the medals podium.

Last year, Layak won at the 11th Jharkhand State Rifle Shooting Championship. However, she had to borrow a rifle to practice her sport and, eventually, win a gold medal in the 50m Rifle category and a silver medal in the 50m Rifle Prone final.
