c~mbined vtlth 25 Targets of DB SB and p3lnts snooung In the 501h
year of competit~on this event has been won by many good
shooters over its years of existence. Proving that versatility is the
key, the polnts champion from 1989, Graham Blaskett added
another National Title to his credit with a very well put together
198/200. With a magnificent trophy provided by Olympic Targets,
competition was more than keen however the name of the title says
it all as this event really sorts shooters out. At the close of shooting
Lyn Curtis from Bairnsdale with a very creditable 197/200 had to
be satisfied with first in AA behind overall Graham Blaskett who
was adding to Tasmania's success on their home ground. At the
risk of repeattng oneself, Glen Hayden was too strong for the
luniors with a score of 117/125 with another win to the popular and
well known Malcolm Fuller 105/125 in the veteran sections and
Judy Wegner. USA, 135/150 in the ladies section of the championship.
