Following an overcast sky and an unusual dead calm at 6:00am, the sun came out and the wind picked up a tad for the 10:00am kick off, on what was to prove the trickiest HFT course we have ever put on. Certainly, this was the best shoot we have ever hosted at Nomads.

Michal Kurdybelski came in with a top score of 52 to retain the trophy, while a shoot-off between Ross O'Brian and Stu Dodd saw Ross take second place with his 51, with Steve Whiting one point adrift. Mike Hymas topped the sticks class with 49.

That's 48% of the Open Class coming in with less than 40, which tells you all you need to know about the course.

Many thanks to Perry, Dave, Nick and Chris for working on the course, and to Andy and Phil for preparing the food.

Same time next year, folks. https://www.airgunbbs.com/image/gif;...ABAAEAAAIBRAA7
