Clark eventually won 3rd place Seniors Single Rise gaining a bronze medal. Clark also regained his AA grade status shooting above 96% to NZCTA standards.

Harry and Clark both scored 22/25 in Skeet giving them a team score of 44/50. This saw them shoot off against Christs College and Lindisfarne College who were also on the same score.

A great shoot with great conditions. Special thanks to target products, Fish and Game and Kilwell Gamebore for sponsoring the competition.
