Fred Whitehurst - at the English Open Sporting Championship

Fred Whitehurst - at the English Open Sporting Championship

I mentioned in my intro blog that I would be taking part in the English Open Sporting Championship, so I wanted to update you on how it went. The event took place on Wednesday 10th May at Highwaymans Shooting Ground in Suffolk. Fortunately, we had extremely nice weather, and the conditions were perfect for shooting – nice and warm, with no wind, meaning the consistency of the targets was very good.

Pool Shoot at the English Open Sporting Championships

The shoot itself was set up very well and ran smoothly, which helped reduce any nerves. There was a range of targets to suit shooters of all abilities. I shot 105/120, putting me in joint 3rd in the juniors category. As I decided the 4-hour drive to the final would be inconvenient, I did not get placed.

The CPSA Registered Highwaymans Shooting Ground

Highwaymans Shooting Ground is a fantastic CPSA-registered ground that I would definitely recommend to other keen shooters.

Thanks, Fred, and well done – keep us posted!
