A strong mirage was present throughout the day and the breeze whipped around enough to upset most shooters.

Alan Taylor held the lead with a possible after the first stage despite an almost perfect hit from Rob McKay who hit the centre nine times out of 10 shots.

Taylor held on to fire a 49 in his second stage to take out the A-grade Cock O’the Walk award with a 99 off-rifle score.
