As forecast, it was a wet afternoon that greeted the seven OCs who were able to make themselves available for this match. Nevertheless, we succeeded in getting everyone through at both ranges with one-to-one coaching, helped by the use of spare target space made available by other teams with fewer shooters. Your reporter found the most trying aspect of the weather was the poor light at 1000 yards: he can remember seeing the aiming mark for sure only twice in the ten shots and was relieved to get up from the firing point with a score of 45.2.
