Readers can use the vouchers printed in the magazines and enter the magazine challenge alongside the main competition to be in with a chance of bagging £500 and to win the title of Shooting Times Top Gun, Shooting Gazette Top Gun and Sporting Gun Top Gun.

The Handicap Challenge is renowned for its unique handicapping system, which gives average club shooters the chance to compete on a par with high-level competition shots and have a genuine chance of winning.

Dylan Williams, owner of the Royal Berkshire, said: “With extensive developments at the Royal Berkshire over the last year, we will be able to give competitors exciting new challenges and with the benefit of the unique handicap system, literally anyone can win!”

Now that Sunseeker are also on board, readers will also have a chance to win £500, which is a marvellous addition for 2018.”

A unique handicapping system

The culmination of the Handicap Challenge will see 60 finalists meet at the Royal Berkshire for the final on May 8th, where the top 40 CPSA handicapped scores and the top 20 RBSS handicapped scores will be invited to go head to head over a new 100 target layout for the title.

Hannah Rought, marketing executive for the shooting titles at Time Inc UK, said: “Once the shooting season is over, readers of Shooting Times, Sporting Gun and Shooting Gazette have the opportunity to showcase their clay shooting prowess and, with thanks to Sunseeker London, we can reward our readers with a huge cash prize.”
