12 Aug 12 - The Novice Schools Challenge - video
Two school girls visit the Oxford Gun Company for some expert tuition from GB shot Steve Walton. The sixteen year-olds are interested in being part of the Novice Schools Challenge, which is for under-21s who have not shot before -- or not shot much. They get a day's tuition at the Oxford Gun Company's award-winning clay ground throughout August for just £109 including cartridges, clays and lunch. This film was first shown in Fieldsports Britain episode 138
