RO McNAUGHT WINS MDRA UNDER-25
CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Natives Rifle Club member, Rowan McNaught, won the MDRA Under-25 Champion of Champions competition held on Saturday, February 27th fired over 300, 900 and 1000 yards on Hexta electronic targets.

The conditions were very challenging with the effects of the aftermath of a tropical cyclone causing fresh to strong, quick changing winds switching from 9.00 to 12.00 o'clock.

The weather conditions challenged even the most experienced competitors resulting in quite low scores across all of the disciplines competing in the Champion of Champions matches.

CONGRATULATIONS, RO
