Some outstanding scores were shot. Local junior and Bishop Druitt student, Alex
McMillan, won the Gold medal in the HB Centrefire event scoring 250.22 at
100yds and 250.12 at 200yds. Alex beat shooters who are in the Benchrest Hall
of Fame and shooters who have represented Australia overseas!
In the Rimfire LB Glenn Seaman from West Wyalong broke two Australian records
the first being 250.3 at 100yds the Grand Agg. This, combined with 250.14 at
50m broke a second record. Amazing when you consider only a 6x scope is
allowed!
In the HB Rimfire, local shooters Steve Morton (250.21) came in second and
Bill Buchanan (250.19) took third place. In his first major shoot, Bernie Axford
came in equal fourth. Finally, Paul Sullivan shot an almost perfect score in the HB
Rimfire 50m with a 250.24 and Kevin Birse, 250.24 in the 100yds HB Centrefire.
72,250 patches and 7,500 were awarded during the weekend which indicates the
standard of competition. Consensus was that everyone enjoyed the whole weekend
and the rain managed to hold off to only fall at night.
Congratulations to all who won medals and patches and all those who competed!
