Alongside his fierce competitor Arthur Turner, the duo had both won six titles over the span of their respective careers. The winner of the day set for a page in the history books.
Castellaro nailed 469 of his 475 targets across a range of events to take the top honour.
To finalise his victory, Glen needed to best Victorian Andrew Brady in a shoot-out, after Brady won the AA grade high gun, scoring 533 from 540.
The event went down as a raging success according to the organising committee, as record numbers spilled in to watch the shooting spectacle over the long weekend.
"We had 330-odd people and nearly 50 women there, which was great," event organiser Dan Power explained.
"The weather was a bit blustery but it was a really successful shoot."
The association also held a gala dinner on the Friday night for the first time and Power said it is likely to become a regular fixture on the calendar.
"It's the first year we've done it and judging by the response it's something we'll continue because it was positive for the event," he said.
