West Midlands Air Open incorporating the Eric Dougliss Memorial Trophies
On the 14th and 15th of September there was a relaunch of the West Midlands Air Open which saw 140 athletes visit the centre from all over the country to compete for the Eric Dougliss Memorial Trophies. The competition was a huge success welcoming not only experienced shooters but new to competition shooters and some returning to the sport after a number of years away.
There were some fantastic PBs shot notably Annie Williams who was very pleased with her performance.
