After a couple of weeks of not shooting, and a start that felt a bit rough as a result, I went to North Cornwall Shooting Ground today and managed to finally get my name on a trophy that has been an elusive beast for me for the last few years - the South West Single Barrel Championship.

I had a good crack at winning the 2024 South West DTL Championship at Bradford Shooting Ground yesterday, but it wasn’t to be.

A well shot 98/294 isn’t enough when you have top class shooters from the South West and beyond in form!

This year, the Kellands Cup has been a cracking event with all the drama of a big shoot packaged into a slick, tightly run local weekender.

60 shooters battled it out over 2 days for a chunky prize fund. Class prizes were up for grabs each day, as well as combined prizes and cartridges to go with the smart set of class and High Gun trophies, awarded to the highest 2 day combined scores in each class and overall.
