Gwyn Roberts is a very talented young DTL shooter from Gwynedd. Gwyn tried for the Welsh junior DTL team again this year, with the Home International being held in Scotland.

County Teams short of Shooters This Year.

I’ve noticed on the WCTSA website that a few counties are struggling to get enough shooters to make a full team, especially in skeet.

In the past Gwynedd have always had to borrow from other Counties just to make a senior team, yet this year we’re actually lending out shooters to other struggling counties.

To me the secret is to get the shooters who usually don’t even try for a county place due to their belief ‘that they’re not good enough’, to shoot a couple of qualifiers.
Half this years Gwynedd team have never shot anything apart from local ‘field’ shoots, yet they’ve had a go after a bit of friendly persuasion from established team members.
I know they will enjoy the finals and it will be a great experience for them, hopefully encouraging them to try again next year.

My message to Welsh shooters, join the association and have a go, you WILL enjoy the experience and be a better shooter for it

Llandegla and Dovey back in the Association.

Glad to see that the problems with Llandegla and Dovey Valley have now been resolved

Both are now associated with the WCTSA which is great news for North Wales Shooters.
