Another packed weekend of shooting, from Wales, England and Scotland!
Sunday saw the Welsh Open ABT take place at SW2000. It was good to see 30 shooters take part, in what proved to be, a closely fought competition. Our thanks go to Mike Amodeo, for kindly donating 100 clays, for each member of the Wales ABT Team.
Winning by 1 clay in the end, with a score of 95, Rhys Tucker becomes the Welsh Open ABT Champion 2022. Well shot Rhys.
HG in A Class was Dale Oram on a 94, HG in B Class was Dave Brown with a 93 and C Class was Mellissa Callum with an 87
Presenting Rhys with the trophy, is John Hewlett, the WCTSA’s ABT Discipline Rep, who is stepping down from the role after more than 2 decades. Thank you John!!
After the competition, Deri Lewis, the ABT Team Manager, presented the new caps with their badges-Dave Lewis, Nick Ristic and Clive Bowen (Captain)
Good luck to the ABT Team, as they prepare for this weekend’s HCIT at Esker in Ireland.
Last weekend, saw the Wales NSK Team travel to Scotland for their HCIT. Congratulations to the Veterans Team of Mark Davies, Robert English & Clive Jones for winning their category and well shot to all of the Team.

Good weather, great targets and the beautiful setting of Dovey Valley Shooting Ground made for a memorable 2022 Welsh Open FITASC Championship.
