DoubleBarrelledDon 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Folks, just to let you know about a completely new shooting discipline aimed squarely at live quarry shooters, which kicks off with the Countryman Challenge on 1st & 2nd of August at Park Farm near Wincanton in Somerset. How does 8 one man ten bird two or three trap flushes and 4 ten target air rifle layouts sound? (Air rifles available if required) Its been designed so that top clay shooters wont win all the prizes as they have to enter in the Pro Class (AAA,AA and A Class shooters) whilst the majority of the 70+ prizes (over £11,000 in total) are in the Open, Juniors (Under 16),Ladies and parent & Child classes. Fancy shooting "decoyed pigeons" from a fully equipped hide, or tackling "Bolting rabbits" from the back of a 4x4? if the answers yes then this is the event for you! You can shoot on either saturday or sunday and it costs just £38 for 120 targets (fibre wads only). With have a go stands on shotgun and air rifle, a trade village, quality catering by top game chef Mark Gilchrist, Guerini Guns pool shoot and Phoenix Fast Fire Running Boar simulator there is something for everyone.
