Katie Cowell’s first round in the British shotgun series this year got off to a rocky start amidst blustery conditions but clawed it back with determination!
Olympic Trap is a challenging shotgun shooting event featured in the Olympic Games and governed by the International Shooting Sport Federation. As one of the most difficult trap shooting disciplines, Olympic Trap demands marksmanship and stamina from its competitors. Shooters must hit airborne clay targets launched from 15 traps situated in front of 5 different shooting stations. This tests a shooter’s reflexes and hand and eye co-ordination.
With the wind gusting strongly on day one, Katie struggled to find her rhythm and accuracy, ending the first day of competition towards the bottom of the leaderboard.
