Cambridgeshire Lording it at the British Open Skeet!
Congratulations to Marcus and Ethan Lord, two Cambridgeshire shooters who took part in the British Open Skeet at Eriswell this weekend. They each shot their first ever 100-straights, and what a time to do it!
They deservedly took the Parent/Child category with 200ex200, unsurprisingly, but were then faced with shootoffs for the overall title and categories/classes, as two other shooters had also shot straights.
Ethan shot 100+25+14 to come second behind Tom Clifford’s 100+25+16. He also took the Juniors’ Category.
Marcus shot 100+24 to come third overall.
Fantastic shooting, the pair of you.
