LINCOLNSHIRE OLYMPIC SKEET CHAMPIONSHIP

HELD AT THE PRIORY CLAY TARGET CENTRE

ON SUNDAY 26TH MARCH

 

ALEX HORTON - OLYMPIC SKEET CHAMPION 2023

 

How do you know its Summer in South Lincolnshire .....its blowing a hooley, April showers put in an early appearance and it felt like -5 in the bitter northeasterly wind.

Those were the conditions that met the hardy (mad) County Olympic Skeet Championship competitors at the Priory CTC.

As in previous years this event is 50 targets to encourage anyone who isn't familiar with the discipline to give it a go.

Today wasn't going to be record breaking, and competitors were tested from the first to the last target. With a sharp tail wind, the low house clay was like an demented whirling dervish and the high target trying to achieve mach 2 leaving the trap.

Alexander Horton obviously likes the County OSK trophy so much, he doesn't want to give it back. Alex turned in a very respectable 32/50 to take for the second year running the County Olympic Skeet High Gun.

As always a massive thank you to Natasha, Olivia and John at the Priory CTC for making today the success it was, the ground was impeccable and the coffee even better.

A special thanks to Matthew Robinson, our OSK referee for the day in Arctic conditions 🥶🥶🥶

Congratulations

to everyone who entered, your tenacity, hard work and composure in demanding conditions was superb throughout.
