Sunday, July 25th: Australia Match

Our last day in Bisley ended with the firing of the Australia Match. The match conditions were 10 shooters, 2ss and 10 for score at 300, 600, 900 and 1000 yards and the match was fired on ICFRA targets at all distances. Conditions were pretty light for most of the match and we stayed dry for another day. Results as follows:

1. Great Britain: 1972

2. Australia: 1943

3. Channel Islands: 1942

4. Canada: 1928 (detailed breakdown to follow)

5. Germany
