This just landed in my inbox - EXACTLY the sort of amazing prize pool that our sport needs...

The Royal Berkshire Shooting School has teamed up with premium automotive retailer Stratstone and David Duggan Watches to present a shooting competition like never before.

The Stratstone Super Seven Challenge will offer entrants the chance to compete for one of seven brand new supercars worth up to £100,000 each. They are a Porsche 911 Carrera 2S Cabriolet, Range Rover Vogue, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Jaguar F-Type V8 S, Morgan Aero Supersport, Jaguar XKR-S Coupe plus the all-new 2014 Range Rover Sport.

Launched in association with The Times and The Sunday Times and The Sunday Times Driving, the Stratstone Super Seven Challenge will open on 1 October 2013 and run for four months with entrants able to enter as many times as they wish.

Entry costs just £50, which includes 50 warm-up birds plus two attempts at the Challenge, which sees competitors shoot at a sequence of 25 driven birds off the legendary 120-foot Tower. The 20 highest scoring individuals on the Tower alone will then go through to a final where, if the overall winner shoots 23 or more of the 25 birds, he or she will win the car of their choice.

The entrant scoring the highest out of 100 during the qualifiers will win a classic, highly collectable gentleman’s Rolex GMT Master wristwatch from 1987 complete with original box, certificate and instructions with a market value of £5,000 courtesy of David Duggan Watches. The side-by-side shooter scoring the highest out of 100 during the qualifiers will win £2,000 of Really Wild Clothing.

The Royal Berkshire Shooting School’s Managing Director, Dylan Williams commented: “Never before has a shooting competition offered such an exceptional prize fund with such prestigious global brands involved. The Stratstone Super Seven Challenge will appeal to game shooters as much as clay shooters, as the birds are designed to mimic high West Country-style pheasants. Since we founded the Royal Berkshire in 1991 we believe this is the most prestigious initiative we have established and our super seven instructors look forward to the start of the competition.”

Stratstone’s Managing Director, James Brearley, added: “This competition offers one shooter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most coveted cars on the market today. With a prize of such magnitude on offer, the pressure to win will be immense. We are also giving every entrant a voucher worth £250 to be redeemed against any Stratstone new car purchase between October 2013 and 2014.”

Makes every journey an adventure....
That's why they make flat bottom steering wheels, easy knee operation.

 
Sounds a great challenge. I bet gorgeous will be up for it.

This will be very interesting. Aston.....very nice.

 
I have made my list of 5 possibles in my head......then thought....anyone want to do a football type card.....£5.00 each name to enter. 60% of takings goes to the person on the card who names the winner, 40% goes to Dylan's charity.....If none of the names submitted win then it all goes to Dylan's charity?.......

Anyone interested.???

 
Interesting, in the rules it says that 'no-one who has competed in the olympics can enter'.

Not sure why...

Like the idea of a charity sweep.... Let me look at how I can do that here.

A sequence of 25 driven birds  :no:  ...think i might just give that a miss then.

 
IMHO I imagine that Olympians might put off quite a lot of entries as they would immediately be favourites to win cars.  Reducing the entry reduces the takings and the viability of the competition.  There is also the fact that in the run up to their Olympic performance they will have been virtually professionals and almost full time in their sport which would be a considerable advantage in an event like this.

 
Really? So, an Olympic shooter who shoots trap and/or skeet... Would have an advantage over a sporting shooter?

I am not so sure...

All seems very good, but remember, only one car is up for grabs in total AND to win it you need at least 23 in the final. What is the betting that the final has some impossible to hit birds?

Anyway, I hate driven birds. I wonder if I could lie on my back 90 degrees to the tower and shoot them as crossers?

Perfect....over to you Matt.

I don't mind putting the first £5 and name in before anyone else gets it......Gorgeous Big George. :laugh:

I have others for later if no one else gets them first. Obviously people can buy as many as they want.....but only one person can buy each shooter :laugh:

P.s. Robert ......there is only one Olympian who stands any chance of hitting extreme tower targets.....and that is Dickie.

The others have not a hope in hell......it is a specialist game. That tower throws fantastic birds......especially if they push it out to the extreme limit which me and the Germans shot recently........brilliant sport.....!

......true story...!!
