A Parashooter from Aberdeen has set a new Scottish Record at a top competition in Spain.
Allan Ritchie, who only transferred to the Olympic Trap discipline in early 2017, scored a record 108/125, taking gold in the Class 1 (sitting) category and the overall Para High Gun at this year’s IV Olympic Trap Grand Prix International held in Malaga.
This event is the first major shooting Grand Prix to integrate Para Trap alongside the mainstream competition, and Allan was delighted to place 73rd out of a total of 238 mainstream and Para Trap shooters with a score equating to =15th out of 54!
Allan has his sights set on continued Para Team GB status, representing the country in International World Cup Events, the next being Al Ain, UAE this March, and future Paralympic Games. We wish him all the best in his journey to the top!
