We shot the World’s English Sporting, Red & Blue courses on Thursday & Friday and would like to congratulate Mr. Digweed on the amazing targets he set.....(& the photo opportunity!) My husband and I have been shooting almost 3 years, and started competing last September. This was our 15th registered shoot and we were delighted to come away with a 50% (for myself, and no ‘0’ stands’) and 57.5%(for Alistair). More importantly I feel I have learnt SO much in taking part. A HUGE learning curve! For us to come away with those statistics shows how well the targets had been planned to suit all classes. To be able to watch the more experienced shooters shoot was also such a delight. There was a great atmosphere and so great to see all nationalities enjoying this wonderful occasion together. Thank you for all your hard work for making it possible and Congratulations to all the Winners......AMAZING.......Well done to all!

Very supportive to all sports persons

Originally joined around 1989 and gave up competition clay shooting in 1995, the CPSA retained my last classifications and allowed me to re join with my original membership number! Email's via website replied very promptly.
