Veteran Tongala sharpshooter Steve Atkins was named in both the Victorian 15-person postal and the five-person teams after the state clay target championships at Echuca from last Thursday to Sunday.
It is 35 years since Atkins has made the five-shooter team and his 20th time in the 15-shooter team.
Selection in the teams gives Atkins the opportunity to again compete in the national championships at Wagga in March next year.
Atkins, a multiple Kyabram Sportstar of the Year winner, enjoyed some minor success at the state championships, which he said had gone off smoothly and were contested by 300 shooters.
