Eighth for Oliver at European Championships

Congratulations to Rugeley member Oliver Hill who recently competed at the European U16/18 Championships in Burgas, Bulgaris.

Shooting in the U16 Men’s Air Rifle, Oliver placed 8th with a very creditable socre of 408.8.

He also made the second stage of the U16 Men’s Solo Air Rifle, which is a slightly different hit/miss format where each shot is recorded as a hit if it scores 10.3 or higher. In the second stage he finished 16th.

In the Mixed Pairs, he finished top half – 9th of 18 pairs, shooting alongside GB teammate Aleisha Pereira.

Two young people aim air rifles on a 10metre airgun range. They each wear canvas shooting jackets and trousers.
