We took eight keen shots from The Pilgrims' School to compete in the Independent Schools Clay Pigeon Shooting Championships 2022 at the prestigious Holland and Holland shooting ground. There were around sixty schools in attendance (both prep and senior). The boys shot four pairs of clays at each trap, over a total of 10 traps. Some traps were incredibly challenging and many experienced adult clay shooters would have struggled with some of the high clays.

The boys looked the part in their country shooting attire and Pilgrims' shooting gilets. They buzzed with enthusiasm, whilst still maintaining an appropriately sensible and pragmatic approach to the day. 

All boys shot well, with the top shots being Harrison K, Ollie M and Silas K. I look forward to our trip to the IAPS shooting tournament at the end of April, where I hope to take a third team of shooters.

Thank you to the parent supporters who were in attendance. It was a long way to go, and your support was greatly appreciated.
