Some managed to contend with the conditions better than others, and this was reflected in some very low scores from competitors. In the second stage there was also sleety rain to deal with, so it was very hard for accuracy.
A-grade was was won by Tony Moon with two consistent stages of 48.5 for a total of 96.10, then Steve Southwell who fired 95.8, Jim Blackmore 92.6, and Wendy Moon, who had a terrific first stage of 50.5 then faltered in her second stage for a total score of 89.7.
B-grade was taken out by Barry White who fired 94.8, Nick Kenny 79.1, visitor from Newcastle Coen Gleeson managed 77.2, and his father Keith retired after a first stage of 36.2.
In F class both grades there were only two shooters who managed to break 100, and they were Phil Costa and Bev Rogerson. All the others had mediocre scores.
