On what turned out to be a mostly overcast day 18 competitors took part in an 80 round XTC Match at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley. Starting on the 200 yard line at Short Siberia Layne Chisholm shot well in the off hand stage taking the high score honours in both strings of 10. The sitting honours went to both Mark Bradley and Bill Ellis who both scored a 99.03 in separate strings. The 300 yard rapids saw Ian Dixon get his first rapid fire clean with 100.02 and the overall 300 yard rapids high score of 196.05. That left it very close in the SR Class with Rowan Chaplin on 561, Mark Bradley on 557, Ian Dixon on 554 and John Morgan-Hosey on 552. The long line was shot well by all four mentioned but Mark Bradley shot an outstanding fourteen 10s or Xs in a row and fininshed with a 194.04 overtaking Rowan Chaplin to win the SR Class. Ian Dixon shot a personal best score of score of 742.11.
On leaving the 200 yard line Layne Chisholm was 3 points clear of Bill Ellis but, after a few match rifle disaters at 300 yards for both Matt Lee and Bill Ellis, there would be no catching the leader who finished with an outstanding score of 770.18 a full 40 points clear on the second placed Matt Lee.
