Not a bad turn out for the MAD shoot and with a pretty low wind speed, coupled with some degree of home ground advantage, the big hitters left their mark. Pity they couldn't do it a week ago when it counted.
Everyone seemed in high spirits and it was nice to see some new visitors to the club.
I had the pleasure of shooting with newbie Kai Burridge, who's training with the Army Cadets has set him on the correct path and I'm sure he'll soon be doing the Vant swagger.
A tense shoot off decided the top two open scores, with Darren coming third after making a comeback from a long lay off.
Also rising star Jason Lockett slammed in a new, no excuses PB, he was so proud of himself that he started welling up whenever anyone patted him on the back.
