What competitors said

One competitor told us after the shoot:

I just wanted to say thank you for the shoot today. To be honest I expected to turn up, shoot and leave, however that changed on the smell of bacon during our shoot. Whether it was good timing or just luck, it worked. I will mention to our shooters what a warming and wonderful time we had today.

Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to everyone who shot. More details for next year's competition are on the Pinhoe Trophy page.
