E.J. Churchill Shooting Ground is part of West Wycombe Estate, the ancestral seat of the Dashwood baronets which is owned by Sir Edward Dashwood. This grand English estate gives the event a unique feeling of British tradition that is an additional draw for competitors.
Musto, Rizzini, Blaser, Gamebore, and Eley Hawk will be sponsoring the event, while there is exciting news that JCB will be supporting by providing lifts and equipment for creating interesting target presentations, and Promatic Traps will be providing the traps.
