Keenly contested, this corporate clay shooting competition takes place on the Saturday morning of the CLA Game Fair and gives competitively spirited British companies the chance to participate in one of the most well-attended shooting events in the country sports calendar.

Each team of four tackled two flushes of 50 challenging clays and also enjoyed a full day of VIP hospitality.
The winning team comprised none other than our very own Sporting Gun’s editor-at-large Robin Scott, writers Jack and Tom Sykes and photographer Paul Quagliana who all work for parent publishing company Time Inc. UK. They beat off competition from Harewood Estate, IMG Group, Strutt & Parker, Pol Roger, Femmes Fatales, Charles Stanley and Fieldsports magazine.
