At the longer range the honours were shared by C. Rowe and G. Jeune. both competitors having scores of 47 points out of the possible of 50. , In the aggregate for the match R. Burson secured first place with a gross score of 96 out of the possible 100. Burson, who is shooting in top form, was unfortunate to register his eighth shot at 600yds. on the wrong target.
