Rick Mischlewski was next to compete in the Full bore comp. Rick opened with low point and  then found his rhythm scoring one Super V Bull (dead center) and  a string of Bulls eyes and a few 4's to finish with 47/1 from a possible 50.

Neil Attwood was next down on the mound with his trusty 308 Full Bore (peep sights, manually supported )  rifle. Neil opened with a 3 and a 5, cutting the 3 he went on to squeeze off  a string 4's and bull eyes  to give him a first range score of 44 from a possible 50 in the ten shot first range.

Neil Attwood was back in his gear to contest the second range. Neil emulated Ricks score opening  with a five and a fourt as sighters, then  went on to squeeze off a mixed bag of  Bulls eyes and V bulls and two 4's to finish with a second range score of 52/2 from a possible 55.
