Brian Carter of Te Puke, New Zealand, put on a wonderful display of marksmanship to win  the Les Perrin Memorial Grand Aggregate in the 2017 Natives Prize Meeting held on June 18th and 19th.   

Saturday was a near perfect day for shooting and scores were generally high with George Edser of Albert & Central club  winning A Grade with the excellent score of 150.23 from Natives member, Kim O’Loghlen, only 1 central bull behind.  Sunday was very different day weather-wise with blustery, quick-changing winds playing havoc with scores at the long ranges. However, Brian Carter mastered the weather and produced the only 150 point possible on the day. 

Brian then went on to win the shoot-off at 1000 yards between the top 10 TR competitors in the Grand Aggregateto collect the Keith Affleck Belt trophy.
