Scottish Record set at range

It's Official - Jack Greene broke a new Scottish record in Air Rifle finals with a score of 247.8 at Target Technique in the Bunker at the first GP Series!

It wasn't so long ago that Jack didn't have any equipment of his own. It's not been easy for him but with determination he has achieved so much. "The one that wins is the one that wants it most"
Congratulations Jack!
