If you have a firearms certificate you could win a £2000 Caesar Guerini shotgun at the Irish Game Fair at Shane’s Castle.[/caption]Well knownxa0Moygashel gun dealer Tommy Beattie, in association with the Anglo Italian Gun Company, have come up with a novel idea to make competition open to all comers. A top class clay shooter, Tommy is keen to spread the passion.xa0 He said: “Clay pigeon shooting is a fantastic sport and genuinely addictive, but I know there are loads of people out there who haven’t yet had the chance to give it a go.
“We’ll be offering anyone who has a valid Firearms Certificate the chance to try their hand using one of the superb range of Caesar Guerini guns I will be displaying at the Shanes Castle Fair.xa0 The competitors will be shooting under the supervision of one of the world’s leading talents – the British Trap Shooting Coach, Kevin Gill.xa0 That’s an opportunity not to be missedxa0and, an opportunity to try a fantastic range of guns, a chance to meet Kevin and a little bit of luck, even a rank amateur has a chance to win this fabulous prize!”
Albertxa0Titterington, Show Director,xa0said: “ We are very grateful to Tommy and his colleagues in thexa0 Anglo Italian Arms Company (www.gueriniguns.co.uk)xa0 not onlyxa0for donating this fine prize and for sportingly helping us add to our clay shooting prize fund, but also for their ingenuity in devising this exciting competition which embraces the spirit of the Great Game Fairs.xa0xa0 Like all of us with a true passion for country sports, pursuits and lifestyles, Tommy is eager to make his sport accessible to all and this is a great way of doing just that.
