On what was expected to be a very wet day 18 competitors turned out for an 80 round XTC match. Having to shoot the 200 yard stages on Short Siberia is not ideal for several reasons; the targets are very close together so cross lane firing has to be guarded against and the gravel firing point means that getting back into your natural alignment when going from standing to sitting takes a little longer. That said though there was some excellent shooting on the short line that continued throughout the day. 300 yard rapid fire on Century could not commence until after lunch and that coincided with a change in the weather with persistent rain for about two hours catching details 1 and 3 out in the open; detail 2 faired a little better in the butts as the rain had mostly cleared by late afternoon when they fired the 600 yard slow prone stage.
Notable performances on the day were Layne Chisholm shooting a PB and HRA full distance XTC Match record of 774.21 which started with a excellent 95 and 98 off hand.
Ian Dixon shot a PB in Service Rifle with a 736.10 and took the honours for top SR Shooter by persevering through the rain and maintaining his concentration, as a Royal Marine would say "If it's not raining it ain't training"
Congradulations also to Trevor Franks on a PB of 699.06 and a move up from Marksman to Sharpshooter classification, all he needs now is a shooting coat and those scores will climb.
