It is one of the most scenic ranges in the world, but is famed for its very confusing winds, which often bemuse the firers, particularly at the longer ranges of 900 and 1000 yards. Nonetheless, it always attracts some very strong shooters from England and Northern Ireland, so the meeting was once again fully subscribed.
