Tim Bourne was well ahead of the field with 97.6; the rest were around the (very) low 90s, although Tim Cross scored 49.5, overall the best shoot of the day, at 900 yards.

For most of the afternoon we entertained some visitors. These roe deer grazed happily just in front of the 800 yard firing point oblivious to the crack of the bullets passing overhead.
