This will be a fairly brief report tonight, although some very improtant competitions were decided.
The premier team match of the meeting, the Kolapore, was fired in the morning. The somewhat tighter ICFRA, rather than NRA, targets were used, so scoring was somewhat lower than in the recent past. That smaller bullseye did not deter the GB Team at 300 yards since they recorded a perfect 400/400! The other teams did not match this at the shortest range but from then on the scores of each of the teams were fairly close. Our team worked very hard but struggled to some degree all morning. Results: 1. GBRT 1173.133; 2. Jersey 1163.115; 3. Australia 1157.107; 4. Guernsey 1155.93; 5. Canada 1149.87.
The Queen's Second Stage was fired in the afternoon. I'm delighted to record that three members of our team have qualified for the Final: Renee Paquette, Serge Bissonnette and Jim Paton. In addition, there are four Canadian Cadets in the Final: Y. Jin, A. Kurd, E. Clarke and M Patrick. Congratulations to all!
We had two firing this evening in the final of the Donaldson Memorial, Jim Paton and Serge Bissonnette. No detailed results yet available, but neither achieved first place.
First thing tomorrow, the Final of the St. George's will be fired. Jim Paton leads the field going in, with Scott Murray also in contention.
After that, there is the last of the team matches, the long range Mackinnon. This is for 12 firers which will stretch our resources to the limit.
The Queen's Final is in the afternoon.
