Challenge Trophy 2017

We are pleased to announce this year's plans for the Oxfordshire CPSA Challenge Trophy. Kevin Durrant has worked tirelessly to organise this years generous sponsorship which for a third year will be comming from Solar UK, 2M Financial Services Ltd and our own Steve Cox of Banbury Gunsmiths. Thank you to the three companies; they have allow us to offer this year's prize pot of £2300.

For 2017, the competition will run differently to previous years. The prizes will now be more fairly distributed within the disiplines. Hopefully this will encurage more shooters to take part in this very unique competition. There isn't another county that offers the opportunity to be awarded prizes for performing well within your specialised discipline.

There are two disciplines in each of the three categories to count for the indidual prizes. The top three in each category will qualify for the final and be able to compete for the Challenge Trophy. The final will be the All Round.

  1. ABT and Universal Trench
  2. English Sporting and FITASC Sporting
  3. English Skeet and Skeet Doubles

All of the qualifying competitions will take place at the County Championships of each of the individual disciplines. A competitor will need to shoot both of the disciplines within their chosen category to be eligible.  Prizes will be awarded within each of the categories to the shooter who has accrued the lowest points after completing both competitions within their category. The point scoring system will be as follows: the winner of the shoot will be awarded zero point, second place will be awarded three points and third place will be awarded eight points.

The prizes available within each category are really impressive: first place will win a Armsan 12 bore Semi-Auto, second place will win 750 Eley Superb Cartridges and the third prize will 250 Gamebore White Gold Cartridges.

Good luck to everyone. If you have any questions or queries please contact us.
