CPSA World Festival of Shooting - Day five round up
English competitors, Jack Lovick and Richard Faulds finished the final day of the CPSA FITASC Sporting Open at EJ Churchill Shooting Ground, in Buckinghamshire on a joint high gun score. Richard who yesterday put in an incredible score of 95 ex100 was matched today by Jack Lovick, resulting in a shoot-off for High Gun and Runner-up. Unfortunately with Richard not making it back in time for the shoot-off, Jack Lovick was awarded High Gun, with Richard achieving Runner-up by default.
Hot on their heels was American shooter Kevin De-Michiel, a mere one point behind Jack and Richard, securing him third place in the CPSA FITASC Sporting Open.
English Veteran Kevin Jobling who shot today, pipped fellow countryman, Phil Rowbottom to the post, to win the Veterans category on a score of 91 ex100, one point ahead of Phil. In the Super Veterans category John Pool also from England put in an excellent score of 85 ex100 for an outright win.
In ladies, US competitor Diane Sorantino put in a superb score of 88 ex100, nine points ahead of her competition to lift the Ladies High Gun title. Battling it out for second and third place in Ladies with a joint score of 79 ex100 was Inna Alexandrova from Russia, against Louise Smith from England. It was Inna who flourished to achieve second place in the shoot-off, with Louise coming in third. Replicating Diane’s score, Finnish Junior shooter Juha Maninnen on Wednesday put in an incredible score of 88 ex100 which held to take FITASC Junior High Gun. But it was down to a shoot-off between US Juniors Jared Greenwood and Tom Seay to decide who would take second and third places. The shoot-off was quickly decided with Tom shooting one more target than Jared to achieve second, placing Jared in third.
