British Open Sporting & Sportrap 2022 (Day 1)
The first day of the CPSA British Open English Sporting and Sportrap started with a light breeze but otherwise, clear, dry, and reasonably sunny conditions making for a perfect start to a CPSA Championship week.
The prize draw started the morning, with a live random number generator picking Aimee Addison (EE144794) as the lucky winner of a fantastic set of Teague chokes generously supplied by Teague Precision Chokes, Phil Smith (EE26380) a Swatcom cartridge bag and Luke Taylor (EE136113) a Gamebore goodybag!
Feedback on the sporting was that it was a very enjoyable shoot and the ground looked superb, thanks to all of the hard work by the Barbury team over the last month.
Top score of the first qualifying day went to Richard Faulds on 112ex120 with James Bradley-Day and Michael Cyffin-Jones close behind on 109 and 108 respectively. In the categories, the leading score in Veterans was Paul Finney on 104 with Cheryl Hall on 102 to lead in the Ladies category. In Juniors, Cameron Cobb heads the table on 90 but a big shout out to John Porter who put in a fine score of 100 to lead the Colts category.
In the British Open Sportrap, Sam Green is currently leading the pack with a huge 95ex100, 3 ahead of James Bradley-Day on 92 and Richard Faulds and Andrew Calvert both on 89ex100.
Well done to all who shot today.
