Fred Zack posted a 96 which was the High score in Class C and Holly Ledgerwood’s 89 was good enough to bring Home the High Lady Hardware. Lee Blachly posted a 91 on the first Day. Bunch also won the Trophy for High All around for the day after winning a shoot off with Dave Bauer of Colton.
On Sunday Terry John posted the High Score for the locals with a 96 which was the Top Score in the Veteran Class.

Earlier in May several shooters shot at Culdesac and Bunch broke 276 of 300 Doubles targets in their 300-target marathon which was runner up to 13-year-old Bruce Bradly of Orofino in B Class. Bradly broke 277. Fred Zack broke a 48 in the 50 target Handicap race at Culdesac and lost a shoot off for Champion in that event.
