All shooting today was at 500 yards. There was a heavy heat/smog/dust haze which made the targets very difficult to see. Thank goodness firing was not at any longer distance. 600 yards in the morning could be a problem.

Events continued:
Pairs (no Canadian Team): RSA 200.25; NZL 199.24; AUS 199.22
Badge:leading John Snowden NZL 100.14; 6 other scores of 100; Jim Paton 97.7.
Individual:Gaz Morris WAL 170.23; Geoff Grenfell AUS 170.21; James Corbett AUS 170.13; Jim Paton CAN 169.20.
As always it was HOT, and by soon after 0930 some targets were failing. Luckily it was all completed before 1000.
Tomorrow, as I said, it will all be at 600 yards with the same courses of fire.
Use of the range is gradually settling down as shooters become more familiar with the electronic systems and gadgetry. Scoring, when there are no problems is very fast, and there are large TV screens showing spectators and others the current standings.
More tomorrow!
