Today was the Mens Double Trap Competition. With Richard Faulds (Olympic Gold Medalist), Peter Wilson (World Cup Gold Medalist Maribor) and Steve Walton representing Great Britain.
It was a shame that Double Trap only had an entry of 22 Competitors. Even though it was a small entry the scores were World Class.
Richard Faulds and Peter Wilson went in to the top six flash final.
Richard Faulds 193 x 200 and finished with a silver medal after a shoot off
Peter Wilson 191 x 200 finishing in fourth
Steve Walton 141 x 150 10th
143 x 150 was the cut off for the final.

Skeet Men fly out tomorrow getting ready for official training on wednesday and competition on thursday and friday.
