Charles Bestwick – Team Captain – Writes:
“The Scottish Squad followed their historic individual and team successes in the NRA Phoenix Championships by securing their best placing to date in the Home Countries National Match held during the Gallery Rifle National Championships at Bisley on 27th and 28th August. The Scotland Team finished in Silver Medal position, narrowly losing Gold to a very determined England Team. That the Team were extremely disappointed not to secure an overall win is testament to the expectation that now resides within the Squad.
It has been a phenomenal year for the Scotland Squad. At Squad level, Scotland are the Phoenix International Centre-Fire Gallery Rifle Champions and now Silver Medal winners in the Home Countries National Match. At individual level squad members have won an unprecedented number of titles throughout the season, comprising a myriad of Phoenix titles, including three Championship Records and at ‘The Nationals’ securing championship success, class wins and a record level of standard score medals such that there are few if any areas of the GR disciplines for which Scotland does not have a strong competitive presence.
Scotland are now clearly established as a major force in Gallery Rifle. The Squad gratefully acknowledge the support and coaching of John Robinson and will plan for and look forward to the 2012 season with the HCNM title literally and figuratively very much in their sights.
Collective Squad Spirit has been at the heart of Scotland’s strong performance and the Squad continues to represent Scotland Target Shooting and the sport of Gallery Rifle to the very highest of standards.”
