Rugeley shooters represented this weekend at the Welsh International Airgun Championships in Cardiff.
Shot over three days, athletes contest three matches – the Cardiff Grand Prix and AiroShoot Qualification are contested over Friday and Saturday in Senior and Junior classes, with the Welsh Open Championship contested on Sunday as one class. WIAC is part of the AiroShoot circuit, alongside the InterShoot match in the Netherlands, RIAC in Luxembourg and other matches in Scotland, Denmark and Belgium. As a result, it attracts international shooters in addition to the predominantly British entry.
Paul Watkiss placed 13th and 12th in his Air Pistol matches, finishing 21st in the Open Match with a series of very steady shoots.
Pippa Watterson placed 7th and 17th in her Junior AP matches, and 25th in the Welsh Open.
In the Air Rifle, Megan Bamsey placed 5th and 8th in her Senior matches, and 25th in the Open.
Izzy Ward placed 23rd and 24th in the Junior Women’s Air Rifle, and 22rd in the Open.
Bill Clark placed 16th and 15th in his Men’s Air Rifle events.
