Stand 1. I missed the first green crosser, hit the rest. It was deceptive and actually needed a moderate amount of lead (unlike most Gatton Bottom targets).
Stand 2. I took them fairly early and just in front. Missed 1. Later I would have expected it to be at it.
Stand 10. The left to right crosser was coming from a long way left and had really slowed up. You needed to be careful to not overlead it. Straighted that one.
Sailed around the first 8 stands with no queue at all. Surprisingly less queuing up the top than usual, but there was still a bit of a wait on 9, 10 and 12.

The only highlight was shooting 18/20 on the Grouse. I also managed 15 /20 on the very tough sporting sequence. (Changed significantly since the qualifying days, where I straighted it). Anyway, I was relaxing after the shoot, when I got told that I had to hurry to a shoot off for third place on this sequence in the series overall. So there I suddenly am, 80 people watching me shoot off with Ed Solomons. 
I hit a nervous 13 and he hit 16..
. Squad of four, I was nr 4, I was also by far the one that, with l-r again the bogeys struggled the most. Shot L1 & L2 in the dry so to speak, was very pleased to hit all l-r 70mm exocet missiles, then onto L3 when heavens opened, we awaited for worse to pass before soldiering on through it, cant say it affected me, did though miss 4 on the bounce and never found a floaty l-r quartering incomer. L4 looked the kindest of the four layouts, still managed to wipe my face though.
