English Open STR Day 1
The first day of the CPSA English Open Sportrap has been a scorcher, with the weather set to stay warm and sunny all week.
The Sportrap course, set by Josh Billington and the team at Ian Coley Sporting, has been receiving glowing feedback. Shooters have been enjoying the challenging targets, which are living up to the championship standard.
Leading the way for most of the day with impressive scores were Richard Bunning, who hit a fantastic 144/150, and Richard Faulds, just behind with 143/150. That looked to be the final result for Day 1 until in the last squad of the day - when Sam Ward managed to pull off a 143/150 also, bringing him into a tie with Faulds for 2nd. It's shaping up to be an exciting competition as we head into the week.
As always, we’d like to wish the best of luck to everyone competing. Will one of the Richards hold onto their lead, or will another shooter rise to the challenge?
