Today's program was 15 for score at 900, 1000 and 1000 yards, to replace the match that was rained out yesterday. Conditions for the first match at 900 yards were fairly calm, which again led to some excellent scores. The top Canadian was Don Pitcairn with a 75.13. Other Canadians who shot 75 include Peter Westlake, Gary Bowman, Alix Voorthuyzen, Gary Bendik and Bob Pitcairn.
The first match at 1000 yards saw some increasingly difficult conditions as we shot over the lunch hour. The decision was made to shoot through the traditional lunch break as there was a forecast of thundershowers later in the afternoon. There were 27 scores of 75 although no Canadians achieved this feat. The top Canadian was Tony Betts who shot 74.9. Mirko Teglasi was close behind with a 74.7.
The final match at 1000 yards brought far more difficult scores. Winds ranged from 8-9 minutes left to 2-3 minutes right, with very quick changes. That being said, there were some details that were more manageable. Only 4 competitors shot 75. Top Canadians were Cheryl Hearn and Ian Hogg, each shooting 72's.
Tomorrow brings the final 2 matches of the Individual Championship (900 and 1000 yards), followed by the final shoot-off for the top 10 placing competitors. Details to follow.
