Five shooters competed in the Military rifle competition on Sunday 2nd August. It was a ‘range rifle’ competition so peep sights were permitted. Course of fire was five shots at 100yds, 10 shots at 200yds and 5 shots at 300m. The 300m target was very trying for all shooters as the target looks very small through open/peep sights with old eyes; if you manage to land some bullets on the paper, you are having a good day. David Wade managed to snatch the lead from Peter McInerney, with 4 scoring shots on the 300m target followed up by Tony Gestier in third, John Buik in fourth and Bruce Milne in 5th position.
