A new postal competition for aspiring target shooters has been launched by the Junior Sports Programme.

Inspired by the success of Lincoln’s Megan Gilkes the competition is designed as an introduction to the sport for youngsters aspiring to compete in the International and Olympic 10m target shooting disciplines and to encourage safe and responsible use of target pistols.

Entry is free and there are prizes to be won in several categories.The event is being supported by local clubs, retailers and national shooting organisations.
