Report from Carlos PACHECO :

For this year's Spring Trophy we welcomed 59 shooters from 8 European countries. Although the weather hadn't been great during the prior weeks to our competition we were lucky during the entire weekend and besides a
couple of light showers we had good shooting conditions. This year we had two sponsors, Alberto Lenzi donating several of his products and OctoAccuracy a new gun shop and rifle-smith from Montelimar donating a Bartlein
barrel for the Becker Trophy.

The 100 meters Light Varmint class was won by Luca Paoni from Italy followed close by Alberto Lenzi also from Italy and Regina Gerstenberger from Germany.

Small group was shot by Philippe Octo from France with a 3,08 mm

The 200 meters Heavy Varmint Class shot under good conditions allowed Frederic Guegan from France to an easy win with a good Aggregate of 13,1840 mm followed by Werner Aechlimann from Belgium and Giorgio Dapian from Italy.

 In the last day of the competition for the 200 meters Light Varmint Class in quite challenging conditions with strong and switchy winds saw the French shooters

and the president of ACS Claude DeDemo and all the benevolent fellow shooters that ensured during three days the perfect run of our competition, Thank you all very much!
