The results for the first day's shooting in WTSC for the WTSC Open... At the end of the first day, a good attendance with lots of Pony Club shooters turning up and shooting both standing matches and prone air rifle matches. Some initial photos are up already here.

The WTSC target scoring machine made an appearance for this match, with badly-behaving software, so each competitior's targets were automatically scored by computer. This system will be somewhat familiar to most air rifle shooters from last year.



This handy piece of equipment eliminates the usual hassle with having to have a single target scorer and his attendtant workload. Plus, the machine tracks where every shot lands, and produces group diagrams on summary sheets for each shooter. More on this tomorrow.

There are more shooting details tomorrow, starting at 1000. Hope to see you all there, and we'll put up the final results as soon as possible.
