I'm sure they have! Well done to all who shot in such changeable conditions!
And finally, the piercing crack of shots being sent down range had fallen into silence. No more jangling nerves on the firing line, no more battling the elements.
The Chipperfield Ranges had once a gain provided the ideal backdrop to an exciting, competitive, and very relaxed and enjoyable competition. Long may this continue!
All that was left to be done was to await the presentations of the various trophies and prizes, and reflect upon another wonderful day's competition.
