Cookstown's first 75 leave two at 72
The official live skeet sheet lists 44 competitors after three rounds. Two are at 72, with 175 qualification targets still open.
Shooting Sports / Precision. The official live result sheet for Canada's skeet championship has its first three scored rounds. Two current totals sit at 72 out of 75.
Joshua McBride of Canada reached 72 with three 24s. Remington McBee of the United States reached the same number with 25, 23, and 24. Zeeshan Zeeshan of Canada is one target back at 71.
That is the shape of the sheet at 09:43 EDT on Friday, August 7. The championship has another 175 qualification targets scheduled before finals.
Holdover produced the feature as a fictional range-side score record using current official target-equipment references. The person, range, targets, clipboard, and session do not depict Cookstown, a named competitor, the 2026 Nationals, a documented score, or an exact target machine.
Six totals inside two targets
The Shooting Federation of Canada championship page links the public sheet to the August 5-9 Canadian International Skeet Championships in Cookstown. The 09:43 snapshot contains 44 competitor rows. Its six highest totals are compressed into a two-target band:
| Current total | Athlete | Country | Three rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72 | Joshua McBride | Canada | 24 / 24 / 24 |
| 72 | Remington McBee | United States | 25 / 23 / 24 |
| 71 | Zeeshan Zeeshan | Canada | 24 / 24 / 23 |
| 70 | Alexander Wong | Canada | 21 / 25 / 24 |
| 70 | David Williams | Canada | 23 / 23 / 24 |
| 70 | Thomas Allen | United States | 25 / 22 / 23 |
The table above compares current totals from an observed snapshot. The live sheet is still changing and is not sorted into a final result. Its empty later rounds carry more weight than any early label someone might attach to the first three.
Four clean rounds, four different scorecards
Four athletes have put a clean 25 into the record. McBee and Thomas Allen did it in the opening round. Wong did it in the second. Trysten Routledge closed his first 75 with a 25 and currently has 68.
McBride's 72 has a different texture: 24, 24, 24. He reached the shared high total without a clean card. That comparison is the useful part of an early score sheet. One perfect round can sit beside three almost-clean rounds and produce the same or a lower total.
I have watched one good group take up too much space in my own head at the range. The next group still asks for the same setup, attention, and honest record. Skeet makes that demand visible in smaller pieces. Each group of 25 ends, the card advances, and yesterday's best round cannot break today's next target.
Forty-four rows, seven country codes
The sheet lists 36 entries under Canada. Eight more carry the United States, China, India, Japan, France, or Ukraine. Thirty are marked Open, six Master, and eight Junior.
Those counts describe rows in the result, rather than total attendance at the range. They also leave room for category outcomes that the current snapshot cannot settle. Andrew Dong has the highest Junior total shown at 67. Yuchuan Chang has the highest total in the women's side of the sheet at 56. Both have 175 qualification targets ahead under the published program.
The event record does more than put names beside numbers. It preserves the round-by-round route into the total. A 70 made from 21, 25, and 24 presents a different problem from a 70 made from 23, 23, and 24. The totals match. The work that produced them does not.
The remaining 175 are already on the calendar
The official 2026 skeet match program assigns 75 targets to Thursday, 50 to Friday, 75 to Saturday, and 50 plus finals to Sunday. The populated sheet currently covers Thursday's three 25-target rounds.
Friday's two rounds can move every comparison in this article. Saturday adds three more. Sunday supplies the final two qualification rounds before any eligible finals field is settled.
That arithmetic is the guardrail: 72 out of 75 is 96 per cent, and it is also less than one third of the 250-target qualification. One target currently separates 72 from 71. Two separate 72 from the group at 70. Another seven rounds will decide whether that early compression survives.
Read the sheet as a live record
The safest way to follow the weekend is the official route. Start from SFC's National Championships page, open the skeet result, and check which round columns have values. A zero in a future total block is an unfinished field, rather than a missed target or a completed score.
The names at 72 deserve attention because they earned those targets. The names behind them deserve the same patience. Cookstown has recorded the first 75. Its result will be written across the next 175.
