After all the excitement with our UKAS accreditation and a new ‘fast track’ calibration service (more on that coming soon!), we’ve not had a chance to congratulate our boy wonder, Charlie Soanes.
Charlie qualified for the British Sporting Championship, the UK’s 2nd biggest sporting event on the shooting calendar on 1st September. This was the second day of the five day event and there were around 1200 shooters, across all age groups.
After shooting a little under par, Charlie was surprised to learn that he had actually come in second on the day in the Colts group which meant he had done more than enough to qualify for the Super Final on the last day.
Charlie shot a fantastic 60 out of 75 targets at the final, giving him 2nd place and a silver podium finish. He was also offered a clay target sponsorship deal!
The way Charlie is powering through his competitions this year gives him excellent experience for moving up to the Juniors groups in the next year – and, it could lead towards getting him a place shooting for his country in the qualifiers in 2017.
