Early shooters were hampered by the wind and at the end of the first stage, Norm Brown led the target rifle pair with a 48/50, while in F-class, Rob Rainbow led with a 51/60.
Conditions eased some in the second stage and Norm Brown fired another 48 to win the A-grade Cock O'the Walk badge with 96/100 off-rifle.
Dave Forster fired a winning 58/60 to win the F-class badge with a total 107/120. The weekly handicap trophy went to Scott Monaghan who finished on 99/100 and Rob Rainbow cleaned up the little white spot in his first stage.
