Oliver takes Rifle Silver at BOAG 2026

Congratulations to Oliver Hill who won silver in the Junior Men’s 10 Metre Air Rifle at the British Open Airgun Championships. Qualifying with a solid score of 609.8, he closely trailed Bookham shooter Aidan Healy on 610.8. Oliver maintained his nerve into the final, sitting just 0.1 behind leader Aidan after the first five shots. Slipping to third after shot 12, he slowly climbed back into second position, with a massive 10.8 on shot 17., developing a 2.6 point lead over eventual Bronze medalist James West. Aidan was a little too far ahead to be caught though, finishing the gold medal shoot-off 0.8 points ahead of a resurgent Oliver.
