Luisa Kristen was top D Grade shooter with 95.1; and Bex Amos recorded the best score in the college training squad - 88.1.

Wellington scored another clean sweep in the final round of the NDC competition shot on Thursday against Marlborough. This gave the team 13 points, moving Wellington ahead of Taranaki to lead after the round robin part of the competition, and means Wellington will shoot the semi-final against fourth-placed Marlborough, while Taranaki contest the other spot against third-placed Southland. Congratulations to Meredith Ackrill on being top shot on Thursday with 298.20 followed by David Grain with 297.21. It should be noted that the top six placings went to Brooklyn shooters in this round; great effort! The open section achieved its best result since the new targets were introduced, scoring 2943.162, and the junior section recorded their fifth consecutive win; Ross Little was top shot with 195.10. The semi-final will be shot on 7 August.

Meredith has had a great shooting week, finishing in 3^rd place at the Manawatu Open Champs with 298.17, then shooting 197.11 in the final 10. The Brooklyn team of Meredith, Dianne Grain and David Grain finished 4^th out of 17 teams in the teams event.
