Yesterday, Barbury Shooting School played host to the highly anticipated inaugural Castellani Cup, and what a day it was! The event was completely sold out, with an outstanding turnout of participants and spectators, all eager to take on the challenging 100-bird sporting course designed by award-winning course setter, Josh Brown.
The atmosphere was electric as shooters of all levels competed fiercely for the prestigious prizes, including Castellani shooting vests, glasses, kit bags, and over £1500 in cash prizes. The Viking corporate lounge added an extra touch of class to the day, with exclusive Castellani product deals, free fittings, and advice available to all attendees.
