Clear skies and light varying winds were present for the entire match. The light winds meant that that the conditions were unsettled resulting in some shots that were way off what was expected. The first relays of the day were the best and things went downhill from there. Even on later targets, looking at the […]
The sky was clear, temperature was cool with wind on the first relay, second relay and the third relay. It wasn’t the wind that was the problem, it was the let-offs. Electronic targets were used on relays which made the day seem fast because there were no pit changes. Everyone likes the electronic targets and […]

There wasn’t much wind starting out but it was looking grim with overcast and showers moving in from the south. The first target, first relay was ok and then it started to shower for the next target and shooters had to put on rain gear. By the time the next target was shot, the showers […]
