Back in the day.... World English at Galt (Ont.) 2013

2013 ICTSF World English Sporting Clay Championships

Galt Sportsmens Club (Ont.)

6.5 hour drive to the club, not including stops along the way. Over 300 shooters!

Twenty-one times world shooting champion, George Digweed attended the shoot and won the 200-target main event after a shoot-off. 

I knew George from a previous shoot and asked why he wasn't attending the Russian FITASC Championships that were being held the same weekend, he told me He'd Rather be in Canada.

I don't remember the amount other than it was in the hundreds, but I won the 50/50 raffle.

Twice over the course of the shoot the club ran out of the whiskey that shooters from over the pond preferred.

Driving on highway 401 Sunday evening going through Toronto doing 75mph with vehicles passing me both on the left and right (posted speed was 100 km/h (62 mph) thinking I'm not going to drive any faster.
