Awesome performance by the Brits. Well done Richard!
Now that Richard Jeens is a World Champion and brother Henry Jeens a Queen's Prize winner, third brother Ed (also in the GB Palma team) must have something to prove!

I'm sure (I hope) that the NRA will offer some form of official BZ but, unoficially, from us minions in the Range Office - a serious bravo zulu.
There are some seriously good shooters out there, some semi-professional, and to maintain such a high standard over so many rounds is a major acheivement.
It now remains to see what press coverage there will be when they come in at the airport. Oh I forgot, it's shooting!
Does anyone have a 'tame' editor in their top draw?

I'd class the AMU as most definitely fully professional.

I noticed that Geoffrey Grenfell (5th) was representing Bendigo and not Australia - I imagine that there could be a few red faces regarding the selection! :lol:

I don't think it was a selection issue.
