British Open Sporting & Sportrap (Day 2)
We were delighted to welcome shooters today for the second day of the CPSA British Open English Sporting and Sportrap Championships! Despite a wet start, the feedback on the courses was overwhelmingly positive. Shooters enjoyed a fantastic day across the two courses, with the grounds looking superb, thanks to the hard work of course setter Jamie Peckham and the team at E.J. Churchill Swinton.
Congratulations to John Carlisle and Alan Pratt, today's lucky winners of our sponsored prize draw! A huge thank you to our sponsors for their generous contributions to the prize pot: Teague Precision Chokes, Swatcom, Eley, Browning, Schöffel & Le Chameau!
Phil Gray and John Lee topped the Sporting leaderboard today, both scoring an impressive 112ex120, with Sam Usher following closely with an excellent 110ex120.
In the British Open Sportrap, Scott Barnett, Jack Lovick, and Phil Gray all delivered outstanding performances, each scoring 93 ex 100, while James Attwood was close behind with 92 ex 100. Well done to all who shot today!
