Conditions on Sunday could not have been less ideal for the shooters from the Southern Downs Rifle Club. When members hit the 400 yard mound on Sunday morning they were greeted with strong, gusting winds that varied in direction and speed. If that was not enough there was also mirage to contend with.
They do say that skill and talent will always prevail the winners of the respective classes Kevin Jones, Greg Wilson and Gary Snelling proved the old adage correct. All three read the conditions beautifully and produced some excellent winning scores.
