KENT SKEET DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP 27th June 2009 AT KINGSFERRY GUN CLUB.

There was no doubt about the weather and the day looked promising with the birds on rails - something special was going to happen.
Some of the earlier scores looked promising compared to previous Championships but the best was yet to come.   Louis Mondesir got things off to a good start with a 98 only to be followed by Jason Adams and Johnny Walker - all on 98.   In the last squad of the day Geoff Evans also puts in a fantastic 98.
That gave us a four way shoot-off.   50 targets in doubles then alternate pairs on station 4.   All four shot 24x24 on the first round but as the tension mounted Louis Mondesir and Johnny Walker let one go by which left Jason Adams and Geoff Evans to take alternate pairs from the middle station.
Both shooters started off very confident and were in the middle of the pairs and it didn't look as if either of them would miss but after 12 pairs Jason missed the second bird of the next pair.   We all thought it was over but Geoff goes and does exactly the same thing letting Jason off the hook.   3 pairs later and straight from Jason and unfortunately Geoff misses the second bird.   Jason Adams wins the Kent Championship Doubles from a thrilling shoot-off with Geoff Evans. 
Jason won the Kent English Skeet Championship earlier in the season so has now completed the double !!   A very rare bird indeed.  More on this later because because the archives are being checked to see when this last happened - or at all.   Jason has certainly made his transition from Junior to Senior in style and it great to see such a nice guy doing so well.
Well done Jason - from all your fellow Skeet shooters.
