The Prince of Wales was fired in the morning at 600 yards. This is the last match in Grand and so completes a very large number of aggregates. I can't list them., all. especially since, with optional entry, not all our team members were involved.
In the POW, there is a three-way tie between three shooters on 75.14, including R. Rousseau of the Canadian Cadet Bisley Team - congratulations! Canadians in the prize list are: 35 Cheryl Hearn 75.10; 45 Alix Voorthyuzen 75.9; 67 Renee Paquette 75.7.
And so, to the Grand - won by Dr. Glynn Barnett with 700.102 (ex 705), two full points clear of Richard Jeens. Top Canadians were: 15 Jim Paton 692.103; 92 Serge Bissonnette 686.79; 181 Scott Murray 681.67. I hope I haven't missed anyone in the top 200, but it's late and the list is not easy to search since it does not show club/national affiliation.
Jim Paton was in three tie-shoots today: narrowly losing the Gurkha Appeal but winning both the St. George's First and Second Stages. Congratulations, Jim !!!
The NRA site does not yet list those who have qualified for St. George's III, but I'm told that the cut-off is somewhere in the 149 region, 148 being no good. That's the sort of score that may persuade the NRA to reduce target dimensions!
In the Overseas Team Match, we did not fare too well. There were some late changes in the shooting/coaching arrangements, so some carefully laid plans went astray. We are well beaten by Australia 1239.143; Guernsey 1234.140; and Jersey 1231.133. Our score was 1213.133. The day started badly, but improved a bit towards the end. Given two or three more ranges, we might have been in it!
Tomorrow, we have the Kolapore, perhaps the most important Team Match in the whole week, in the morning and the Queen's II in the afternoon. A testing day for us all!
