We did have one protest which due to an observant committee member was able to be resolved in the shooters favour. Many thanks to the disputes committee for their work.

 

A big thank you to Sandi Curreen, who single handedly marked all the targets and with the help of her computer collated all the scores in very short order, a real timesaver at the end of the day.
