CPSA World Festival of Shooting - Day four round up
England has lifted gold in the four-day CPSA World Sportrap Championships with Richard Faulds MBE, from Hampshire putting in an incredible score of 91 ex100 on day three, which was strong enough to hold and outright win the title of World Champion.
Hot on Richard’s heals was US Junior shooter Braxton Oliver and French Senior Christophe Auvert, who each shot a 90 ex100, which meant they had to battle it out in a shoot-off to decide runner-up and third positions. With only Braxton turning up for the shoot-off he secured runner-up. Meanwhile Dominic Gross, Gebben Miles and Bill McGuire, who all shot an 88 ex100 had to shoot-off for second and third place in AAA class, with Gebben shooting a straight to secure second in AAA, one point behind fellow US shooter Kevin De-Michael who shot a brilliant 89 ex100.
In the ladies’ category it was a battle between England, Russia the US for the Ladies World Title with Cheryl Hall from England, Inna Alexandrova from Russia and Katie Fox from the US, each shooting a 79 ex100 to draw in pole position. After a single round of 25 Katie finished with a 19 ex25, while Cheryl and Inna drew on a score of 23, which lead to sudden death, where Inna only dropped one target to win the Ladies category.
Gold in the Veterans went to Bill McGuire from the US for shooting a brilliant 88 ex100 and in the Super Veterans category Graham Stirzaker from England earned gold for shooting a brilliant 83 ex100.
