A small turnout attended the April 2nd shoot at Darfield Gun Club.Isuspectthegale-forcenor -westers predicted were a major deterrent. Sixteen hardy souls contestedthefinaltworoundsof the Presidents Trophy, which commenced in March. The April shoot was a 20 target Continentalmatch,followedbya 10 pair of Double Rise, which was very challenging in the strong winds. Once again, the Eye-opener was di cult with just the three possibles all in A Grade. The 20 Continental match proved di cult for the lower grades, and the leader board changed quickly. It all came down to the Double Rise with Brodie Mangels Mangels intheBox Seat with 57 leading the way, Murray Robertson Murray Robertson Robertson Robertson was 1 point behind courtesy of the B Grade Handicap Allowance of 6 targets over the first three rounds.
