    It was a great day, I think I heard someone say 17 shooters. The weather was perfect, literally no wind!

    Although I would have preferred a bit of wind to keep it challenging! Myself and Paul Dowling scored 27/30 hits to take 1st and 2nd place, he pipped me to 1st on a count back. Definitely a format that could be a competitive and enjoyable one, plenty of lads on the line with rifles well up to the job.

    No SA's on the line, but some top class rifles there all the same.
