Alan said of his and George’s wins: “Between us we have over 120 years of shooting experience. The difference is I’m just hitting my peak while George is on his way down.”
A number of other prizes were up for grabs, including Oakleys glasses, CCI clays, Gamebore cartridges and Stratstone driving days.
Royal Berkshire’s Dylan Williams said he was delighted for Alan and the running of another successful Handicap Classic, as well as hinting at the evolution of the Stratstone Super 7 Challenge next year. More information will be available soon.
