Clay Target Shooting in Cambridgeshire
Those who have been following the results will not be surprised to learn that Phil Barnard has won the Supreme Champion title – something he has achieved every year of the competition since 2019. This year he managed to average a remarkable 92.5 across 6 disciplines! Tim Jones takes the Veterans’ title.
No Seniors (other than Phil), Ladies, Juniors or Colts shot the qualifying six county championships – something to aim for in 2025 perhaps?

Well that’s the last of the Cambridgeshire championships for 2024 done. Well shot to all the winners. Our thanks go to all the grounds that held our championships this year; the committee is looking forward to sorting out the next year’s.
Special thanks go to The Priory for holding the majority of them for us this year.
| Cambridgeshire Champion | Paul Neal | 95 |
| Men’s Champion | Phil Barnard | 85 |
| Veterans’ Champion | Gary Thatcher | 84 |
| Ladies & Juniors | Not contested |

Well that was a very busy weekend for us all! There was the inter counties FITASC at Sporting Targets: Cambridgeshire seniors got Runners Up, and Cambridgeshire shooters got both Junior High Gun (Ben Jordan, 88) and overall High Gun (Harry Seal, 92).
We didn’t enter any shooters for the national inter counties competitions held at Bywell for DTL (Sun) and ABT (Sat), but we did have the Cambs OSK and Double Rise somewhat closer to hand at The Priory.
Making the choice to be at any of the events was a bit of a challenge – thanks to all that attended!
Thanks go to the priory for sorting the Olympic Skeet (OSK) and the Double Rise this weekend, 6th October 2024
A gusty wind made all the targets a bit tricky at times, but at least it stayed dry and even occasionally a bit sunny.
