Sorry for the delay on this one, we've been rather busy
Strap in because this is a long post!
Once again the climate was generous and we had perfect shooting weather the entire time. A gentle breeze, even temperature and no glaring sun (except for the classic Mount Tiger practice range).
Some tight competition, huge performances, and a very special awards ceremony on the waters edge made this Nationals even more exceptional.
Huge thanks to everyone that flew in from overseas and made this event even more special.
Team Blue did it again, lots of podiums and multiple broken NZ and Regional records!!
