The Merton Vale 1500 yd match was shot the day after Match Rifle had finished. We had some rain that night but conditions for the long range shoot were still very difficult for the 9 brave shooters who had a go.
All shooters shot 1500 yds, 3 times. Some felt like it was more, but it was a great fun shoot and we are lucky to have such a great range to shoot on and a land owner who gives us such support.
Now for the scores and winners:
