Chris Schwebel takes the 2023 President's Match (TRA)
It was a difficult start for some on day 1 of the President’s Match with 2x 500 yards completed this morning. TRA saw Mick Dickenson and Chris Schwebel the only 2 TR shooters to remain clean. Adrian Siebel, John Alp and Jacob Campbell are the only F Class shooters to be clean in F Open. The morning started rather choppy and conditions were difficult to read for many. As the day has progressed, conditions have eased and cloud has certainly taken the edge of the biting sun.
