DescriptionPrinted in colour in the 'Leader' on May 15, 1995.
He has won the title in January with a huge 56-point lead ('Leader', February 6); Australian competitors had invited him to their August nationals, but it would cost him $2200; he was a mechanic working at Graham Berry Race Cars, and had a son, 4, and his wife Janine was expecting a baby, so donations were sought.
He is holding his Colt AR15, which is 5.56 mm calibre; the dummy or inert rounds on the New Zealand Serviceman's Belt are larger; probably 7.62 mm.
Date TakenMay 1995
