It’s time to start the County Championships!

Welcome to 2023. The first county championship is ABT, on the 12th of March (yes, TWO WEEKS) at the lovely Nuthampstead Shooting Ground. It’s a great ground with 4 ABT layouts (and DTL, sporting and skeet if you fancy some additional shooting) and a kitchen offering full meals and snacks. It’s a regular haunt of many of GB’s finest shooters, so you can also play “spot the Olympic medallist” if you’re bored! If you’re not sure where it is (hint, slightly south of Duxford) then click here for directions.

Remember that the county team for ABT is chosen from the results of this shoot, so do turn up if you’d like to earn a county badge and the right to wear the lovely Cambridgeshire Shooting Team clothing. We’re looking for you, Juniors and Ladies, as we’re often under-represented in those categories in the intercounties match. And of course it’s your chance to win the championship.

B Woodham – Disabled High Gun

Amy Hedgecock – Ladies High Gun, Junior High Gun

Thanks to you everyone who supported the event, over £2,500 has been raised for Addenbrookes, which you all contributed to.  Big thank you to Eriswell Lodge who hosted the event and made it a great day. 


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.
