Will Godward (left) and Rod Frisby.
On the weekend of June 30 to July 1, SA held their inaugural NRA State Titles at SSAA Para Range. The first match held was 3-Position. This was a 120-shot Rimfire match of 40 shots per position. Overall, there was a close contest between shooters Rod Frisby and Will Godward for the title. Conditions were great until the Kneeling position when the wind seemed to be too much to handle for some.

The next match was the 80-shot Duel Prone event. The first 40 shots at 50m was an even event between the shooters, with many shooters around the mid-380s.

However, the 40 shots at 90m was quite a different story. Trying to pick your shots between the gusts of wind at 90m with a rimfire soon separated the top shooters.
