World Championships 2025

SAVE THE DATE! World English Sporting 2025

The World English Sporting Championship returns to E.J Churchill in High Wycombe from 12th – 19th July 2025 and once again, we can look forward to a true festival of shooting.

This event alternates every year between the CPSA in England and the National Sporting Clays Association in the USA. It attracts competitors from all over the world and is open to shooters of all levels.

Alongside the 200-target main championship, there will be the World Sportrap, the 100-target open Prelim and a 100-target Registered Super Sporting plus various pool shoots to keep you entertained between rounds.

Thanks to the support of our generous headline sponsors Browning, Eley, SWATCOM, Schöffel & Le Chameau, the WESP2025 will have a fantastic prize fund across classes and categories.

We really look forward to welcoming our American cousins back across the pond along with teams from across Europe to take on Team England!

Bookings open on the 2nd December 2024 at 8pm (UK time) via championships.cpsa.co.uk
