Does anyone know if the British team were there?
Yes , the British Team were there , but as I predicted some years ago , the Americans are now the Clay shooting nation.
I believe the British Veterans did win as a team , but that is possibly because the Americans were not old enough to field a Team :smile: .
Have a look down the list of competitors, America has strength in depth. We used to have this , but then complacency took a hold.
We have many fine shooters but they either don't work as a team or are not selected or available for selection.
But I think the major factor for GB is lack of funding.
Get selected for America and it is a well funded honour, get selected for Britain and it is an expensive honour.

My Cpsa money buys me the insurance, access to any majors i fancy, infrastructure for region and county shoots and a portal to track and record scores with access to other scores if i want.
We all contribute handsomely to the sponsered shooters one way or another, thru entries, retailers cartridges etc,

Not a great deal but unfortunately CPSA HQ fail to understand what VFM is....along with failing to enforce there rules,etc,etc,etc
You have to say that shooting is a very expensive game and one in which when you consider that expense there is very little money to be made out of it for what has to be put in. So it does not surprise me at all that young people are not too interested and those who are, normally get the initial introduction from parents who are active shooters. Then there is the methodology used to select who get the sponsorship should it be forthcoming . Then add to that the fact that shooting in the UK is viewed as an elitist activity that is not much liked by the public at large and you have a recipe for getting ignored ... however I do believe that the money allocated to shooting from the Olympic funds has been increased. I ,although it does not effect me, would like to know how the money given to British shooting is actually spent. I only every hear of shooters having to fund themselves and yet we are told that British shooting is receiving millions of pounds every year in funding! Then when the UK actually gets the honour of holding the Olympics the shooting ground is deliberately destroyed after the event so there is no legacy for the sport!
Just as an aside though I see very few young trap shooters down here in France where I shoot. There are none at all in my club. At a national level there were a total of 61 junior shooters male and female from a total entry of 565 shooters in the French PC championship last year and only 20 juniors who were all male from a total of 571 shooters at the FU championships. So it would seem that sporting is doing better than trap in the young shooter dept.
