A warm to hot day for the competitors, with the temperature hovering in the high-20s and a light wind that did little to mitigate the heat. Though the breeze would have the occasional kick, just to catch the unwary shot. The overall scores were better than recorded last year, with several ‘possibles’ scored at both 100yds and 50m.
The Scottish Match (60 shots at 100 yards) medal winners were:
