Officials said another clear and sunny day greeted entrants with a steady breeze shifting enough to test shooters, but was more mild than previous rounds.
Officials said there were no flawless rounds, but first place getter Russell P came supremely close with 118/10 of the possible 120/20.
Colin T ran second with 117/5, five points back was Mark S on 112/5 and a further five back to Craig S on 107/5 with all three hitting five bullseyes.
Next down the order was Tony G on 103-4 a couple ahead of Scott B on 101/5 and two further back was Chris H on 99/3. Glen H followed them in with 92/2 in front of John E on 88 and rounding out the F standard class was Tim C on 79.
Warwick S shot in the F open class and continued his fine patch of form to score 113/6.
Russell had just one outside the top points in both rounds, scoring 59 in each, while Colin, Mark and Warwick hit one 59 point round apiece.
Officials said Glen had a good first outing with his hunting rig and John shot well for his first time with the club rifle.
“All in all a good day out just relaxing and enjoying our sport,” a spokesman for the club said.
This Sunday is a lady day with the club’s next event on April 8 to be a 400-yard championship prone meet.
