The MDRA Two-Day Prize Meeting held on October 16 and 17, 2021 was held in beautiful sunny Queensland weather but with strong and gusty winds on Saturday creating havoc with the scores. Sunday saw winds abate somewhat for the long ranges.
Natives Club members Rudi Mueller won TR B-Grade on Day-1 while Jeremy Wardrop won F/Std B-Grade on Day-2.
In TR C-Grade, Ian Errington finishing 2nd on day 1 and tied for 1st place on day 2 with Ian Smith of Mariners. Native’s Ian won the 5 shot shoot-off to take out the Day 2 Aggregate trophy. Ian was a very happy chappy!
Other Club members had podium finishes over the weekend and several Club members won individual ranges over the two days.
A summary of the scores appears below. Full details are available on the Hexta website.
