This is an interesting one. According to the NRA records he didn't take part in this year final. It could be one of his family won this and it has been added to the collection. Comment left on 10 June 2013 at 21:51 by N.J.Leaper

On double checking he did indeed shoot and win a 100 badge in 1919/20/21.
