3rd. place - Alf McMillan
There were two elimination stages this year with
the final stage being various plaster discs which had to be broken
as fast as the contestants could manage using the least amount
of ammunition.
Unfortunately although the weather was dry and
bright it was very breezy. The challenge was made even harder
with only five contestants out of fifteen making it to the second
stage and none of those five made it to the third. The winner
and runners up were picked from the results of the first stage.
