Alex Williams of Ness has been a determined and very accurate competitor for several years at the Phoenix Shooters Association (who shoot on the Sealand Ranges below Burton,) but this annual prize is one of the few that have eluded him - up to this year.

The competition required a very high standard across a number of disciplines, and a poor shot in any of them would have ruined his chances but Alex's determination showed - beating such well-known shooters as Daniel Owen, Mike Davies and even Mary Eveleigh to win at last.
