Bright sunny day with little wind in the morning on the 200 yard line at Short Siberia saw 16 competitors turn out. Three lane moves were required for this match with the 300 and 600 yard stages shot on Century. After the 300 yard rapids it was very close in the SR Class with Rowan Chaplin on 569.08 and Mark Bradley on 565.11, light changes at 600 yards and fishtailing wind opened the margin with Rowan maintaining his lead to take the SR Honours.
On leaving the 200 yard line Bill Ellis was the clear leader in Match Rifle on 386.10, followed by John Morgan-Hosey on 378.05 and Layne Chisholm on 371.06. Those positions were maintained on the 300 yard line but the move to 600 yards saw a shuffle when the 6XCs came through in the quickly switching wind as Bill struggled to find centre with his .223 Rem.
