After the prize giving on Sunday, many of the team were able to let their hair down a bit with the prospect of a break of four days from shooting. We also bade farewell and bon voyage to the BCRC group, who let their hair…
Today was the culmination of the week’s shooting at Perry, with a team match of fifteen to count at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. We entered a team of eight against Canada and an extremely strong USA team, and a team of four against Australia…
