The Rathdrum Open was held today in the Rathdrum Rifle and Pistol Club. Congratulations to Declan Kelly who took first place with 588.

Despite awful weather, some fourteen shooters made the trek to Rathdrum for the competition, including NTSA vice-chairman and NRPAI chairman JK Walsh; National Squad shooter Declan Kelly; and old hands like Tony Cogan and PJ Harding. The distribution of shooters was heavy on the top end, with 8 of the 14 shooters being in class A.
