AT home on the Corriedale Park range, a World Archery 60/900 over 60, 50 and 40 metres was offered in parallel to a 30 metre Geelong round.
Ben Kilsby managed to end his round with a perfect 60 points in the 60 metre section of the World Archery event, which gave him a head start to the winner’s circle in the final scores.
Although Dale Tschirpig managed to maintain his hot streak with the targets, he was unable to catch Kilsby as he trailed by 14 points.
Following for the runner-up rank was Alex MacDonnell who came close to pushing Tschirpig out of second place by just two points, leaving him to claim third.
