0620 at the range.
Yesterday went much better than the previous days. Shooting was brought forward to start at 0700 and after a few fits and starts got going at 0725. Firing was only at 300 yards, with the Pairs and Badge Matches (10 shots), and Stages I and II of the individual. It was still very hot, and, by the time it was all over around 1000, some targets were beginning to get erratic.
Canada is not in the Pairs, since Paul was not able to get here. Top teams are Australia and New Zealand with 100.12 so far. In the individual, Gaz Morris of Wales has 85.11, with Geoff Grenfell (Aust), Jim Paton (Can), Ross McQuillan (NIre) and Brian Carter (NZ) on 85.10.
Today will see the same course of fire, all at 500 yards.
It is a bit hazy with a steely overcast this morning. The forecast is for continuing hear with perhaps a thunderstorm by week's end.
All those travelling to or through Europe are watching with anxiety the situation created by the Icelandic volcano. We may or may not get home in good time!
More later.
