Sunday’s shoot saw a combination of all the sections Precision and Practical Pistol scores being tallied to arrive at the overall top five shots in the nation.
Senior and junior shooters were on show but for the honour of being called overall champion, only the senior shooters were considered due to the fact that many of the junior shooters were first time competitors.
