Many continued their good form after winning the State trophy for the Teams Event, with the Western Zone Team.

In the opening event, the 30 Target Double Barrel, there was a tie in AA Grade with Bryan Manns (a State winner) and Peter Hosie both finishing with a possible score 30 out of 30 targets.

Sam Nardi only dropped one shot to win A Grade with a score of 29/30 while Aiden Barraclough had a possible (30/30) to claim the win in B Grade.

Darcy Manns continued his good form from Wagga Wagga winning the C Grade title at home with a good score of 28/30.

Hosie was the AA Grade outright winner in the next event, the 30 Target Single Barrel shoot, and again finished with another perfect score of 30/30.
