Belmont Slaughterhouse (WILRC Day 2)

Alas I was unable to post to the blog due to an Overseas Teams Reception, where we observed each team captain (Palma, Veteran, U25) swap gifts.

The presentation slightly delayed due to the crowd wanting to watch Australia play New Zealand for the final place in the Rugby World Championships.

Yesterday, we completed 900 and 1000 yards in some pretty hot conditions. Tom Walters was the highest placed Canadian, followed by Dave Adams.

Today could not be more different. Cold, Windy and Showers, with many relays being delayed as the targets were no longer visible.

The Belmont Complex really showed it's teeth at the 1000 yard range, where showers, high winds, gusting and blowing shots all over the target. Many Canadian (and other nations) shooters ended up in the 50's out of 75.

As there is a protest outstanding at today's 1000 yard the official results are not available. I'll update as soon as they are available.
