The top three shooters were separated by only two points after an intense match undertaken by 37 competitors in interesting conditions. In the end, Tony Wells (Cuckfield) and Russell French (Chichester) were tied for top spot and were only seperated by one point on countback with Tony Wells coming out as the winner, continuing from his successful 2nd place in the April shoot earlier in the year.

The good weekend weather produced some good scores from the sixty shooters who took part in the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club Autumn Meeting. The overall winner taking first place in A Class was Barry Butler of Eastbourne with a score of 588 out of 600. Barry completed one of his three cards in 6 minutes and 30 seconds of the 20 minute detail, and still maintained his high scoring rate.

Although closely challenged by Adam Cornbill of Southwick with 588, international shot Linda Smallbone, of Eastbourne, won the Class A Silver Cup with a score of 590.
