Lonato Del Garda is located in the middle of northern Italy, about halfway between Milan and Venice, on the southwest shore of Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy. When four friends founded the Trap range in Lonato 36 years ago they could barely imagine that the venue would become one of the largest shotgun facilities in the world
Now it is also part of the history of
Shooting Para Sport following the two-day World Championships that saw
Australia's Scottie Brydon, Finland's Vesa Jarvinen and Italy's Francesco Nespeca crowned world champions.
Italy topped the standings with five medals and was the only country to have shooters on the podium in all three classes.
