Gary Duff of Comber Rifle Club is the new National Prone Champion. Going into the final with an unassailable five point lead, he shot an unconfirmed National final record of 103.5 to finish with 684.5. Second was Conor McDermottroe of Dublin University Rifle Club with an overall score of 675.0 and third was Leslie Fagan of Comber Rifle Club with a score of 673.1.
The National Championships were welcomed back to Midlands National Shooting Centre of Ireland after an absence of a year and in what were relatively calm but very difficult light conditions, a return to the high turnouts of previous championships was experienced. After the competition, NTSA Chairman Liam Crawford made a presentation of a crystal glass bowl to John Paul Craven; manager of the Midlands Range.
