New rankings The new rankings are out and the Skeet Shooters have done the county proud. We are the only county with three shooters in the top 20 this year. Congratulations to Steve Smith for his ranking of #5, to Johnny Hall ranked at #9 complimenting his England team appearance this year, and to Skeet team captain Trev Frammingham who was ranked at #15 overall and #4 overall in the Veterans class. Well done. I’d just like to add that we will be entering a team in the National Inter-Counties Skeet Shoot – all places are up for grabs.
