Day 3 British Open Sporting and Sportrap Round-up

Day 3 of the CPSA British Open English Sporting and Sportrap was a stark comparison to yesterday’s drizzle. Bright clear skies and a dry ground at Garlands, made for an enjoyable day of shooting. The rain held off, and a light wind throughout the day kept even conditions for all shooters taking part.

Today’s Teague Raffle saw the following wins: 1^st Prize a set of Teague Chokes – A  Pope; 2^nd Prize a pair of Dedito Wellies – B Cumming, 3^rd prize a £100 Cens Voucher from Innolife – R Markham; 4^th Prize of a Clay Shooting Company Sunday Shoot – A Higgs; and 5^th prize of a CPSA membership for a year – B Ralph.

It was a nice easy start to the day. The first squads were out and round within the 2-hour mark. Will Fenner shot a 106 ex 120 setting the pace.  Stewart Cumming followed with a 111 ex 120 shortly after. Miles Machin commented on today “Great targets, extremely enjoyable, and I think the degree of difficulty was positively fair”

After Day 3 of the British Open Sportrap, Colin Will’s outstanding score of 98 ex100 from Day 1, was matched by John Lee and Richard Faulds, with one day now left to challenge their top score. Likewise, Colt William Page’s exceptional score 97 ex 100, was matched by Martin Myers. This leaves Chris Childerhouse’s 96 ex 100 with the third highest score. Lauren Goodman, on the penultimate squad, commented "Layout 3 and 4 were tough, but I know a lot thought the same. I really enjoyed it though. It needs to be hard, as it's only 100 targets".

Well done to all.

The side Pool Shoot competition was teamed with Rizzini sponsorship from today onwards, with ASI supplying a Rizzini BR110 to shoot the 25 sportrap to help those taking part win the £100 daily cash prize. Rizzini are providing the BR110 as a prize to all Sporting category High Gun’s this year. Edward King said “Rizzini through ASI are delighted to be here...and happy to offer a tasty prize of the highest score for the pool shoot each day”. Be sure to bring some extra cartridges with you, as worth a go to help get your eye in, or just for some more trigger time if you have the energy after your shoot. Dan King won todays pool shoot and was estatic to take home his £100.

The event is made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors Rizzini (distributed in the UK by ASI), Gamebore and Musto, who have provided a gun, cartridges and clothing vouchers respectively as prizes for winners. We are also grateful for Promatic's support around the ground.
