800 and 900 were completed without a hitch. Conditions were very light at 800 yards, which contributed to 242 possibles. A large contingent of the Canadian Team took advantage of these conditions and shot 75's, led by Mirko Teglasi who shot 75.13. 14 Canadians shot 75 this morning. The match was won by Antonio Diconza of the United States with a 75.15.
At the 900 match, conditions were slightly more variable but still very manageable. 119 shooters managed to shoot a 75, led by three scores of 75.13. Canadians shooting 75's include Gary Bendik, George Wright, Don Pitcairn, Ian Hogg, and Mirko Teglasi.
Shooting got underway at 1000 yards at approximately 3:15pm and the rains came about 45 minutes later. There was a torrential downpour for about 15 minutes or so, certainly enough to soak just about everyone on the range. After deliberation, the Match Committee decided to cancel the 1000 yard match and reschedule it until tomorrow. As a result, the final 800 yard match, scheduled for tomorrow morning will now be cancelled. The course of fire tomorrow will now be 15 rounds at 900, 1000 and 1000 yards.
