The English Open Olympic Trap competition was held over the weekend of 7th and 8th June at Nuthampstead Shooting Ground.  63 competitors fielded 11 squads - dissapointing, but considering a lot of people were competing in Portugal and Germany the same weekend the entry was not too bad.  The weather conditions were good on the whole and on Sunday we were treated to some glorious sunshine and ice cream weather.

The flash final was shot with single barrel: Ian Belcher, J. Reid, K Gill, I R Peel, J Sole, G Morrison 

High Gun:  Ian Belcher 189 + 20   Runner Up:  Jonathon Reid 185 + 22+ 1  Third: Ian Peel 184 + 23 + 0
