Held at Northampton SG, October 25th 2009

The ever-challenging (particularly with low targets in a blustery wind) Double Rise competition saw the usual suspects turn out to Northampton Shooting Ground. What no-one expected was the surprise first-ever-county-championship win for Graham Carter with 81, just one target ahead of Phil Barnard. Jon Barnard took the Vets' on 74 (3 clear of Rod Gifford), Sarah Christensen took the Ladies' on 62 and Taylor Hedgecock took the Juniors' on 44. Champion of Champions front-runner (until this shoot!) Chris Morris had, in his words "a bad day", but as the Champion of Champions table shows is still well in the running with one tournament to go (Olympic Trap)!
