August 5th: Day 3 of the US Fullbore Nationals


Day 3 of the US Fullbore Nationals also brought the World Veterans Individual Championship to a close.  The 2015 World Veterans Champion is David Tubb of the USA, shooting a 591.59 (out of a possible 600.120).  Top Canadians were Alain Marion (15th), Bob Best (21st), Bob Pitcairn (37th), Paul Tremblay (38th) and Deen Mohideen (40th).

The US Fullbore National Champion was also crowned of course after a shoot off involving the top 10 competitors at the completion of the Championship.  The final shoot off was 15 shots at 1000 yards, which drew a large crowd of spectators.  Matthew Pozzebon of Australia was leading the field entering the final and finished strong with a 74.5 to claim victory by one point over David Luckman of Great Britain, who fired a 74.6.  Jim Bailey from Australia placed 3rd.  The Top Canadian was Alain Marion, who placed 97th.

Today (August 6th) is the World Veterans and World Under 25 Team Matches.  Both teams were selected last night, after much deliberation, and are eager to compete.  Full results and details will be posted later tonight.
