This year we expanded the traditional "Tree ID stage" to include animals as well. Turns out not everyone knows their native frogs! Can you name this one?


Observation this year shifted back to where it started and the scores came in about the same.


Some shoot positions stayed the same...


And we introduced a new one...


We brought the penalty targets into the unknown distance shooting. All the "no shoot" white targets were hit by the end of the day...


Awesome to see juniors


Father and son team


The magnetic bearings were difficult again this year. Some of the cards competitors had to find where hidden (cards were located a given distance along a given magnetic bearing from a marker). More than one competitor obviously just followed the competitor in front of them and they didn't realize there was more than one card...


BBQ and prize giving at the woolshed. Basically nothing left of the BBQ and everyone got a prize!
