Australia Rifle team to take on Canadian Rifle Championships

Port Clinton, Ohio - Yesterday marked the end of NRA's National Rifle & Pistol Championships in Camp Perry. Those still stirring round the base included staff, volunteers and much to my surprise — the Australian Rifle Team.

Qualifying for the shoot off with a score of 200-14x, Gustin was side by side with contenders from the earlier relays. His numbers were last in that bunch of rifleman.
