Results for the 16th English Sporting Nationals
After putting on a spectacular event for the 2016 Sporting Nationals, Brisbane Sporting Clays hosted another cracking competition over the weekend of 3-4 June for the 2017 English Sporting Nationals.
Taking on 200 targets over two days, competitors were faced with some tricky pairs across the stands, with Victorian Anthony Panetta the only shooter to score a perfect 50. Podium positions were cleanly decided with clear scores in the categories. The overall winners were decided in the Super Final, which became a six-man battle thanks to a tie for third going into the 25 target shoot-off.
