Christmas 2018

A wonderful day at Wian and Lizelle, with children amazed and in their element.

Not knowing which present to open first and then peeping at what everyone else was opening. Lovely to see the cousins getting along (Logan, Ryan and Matthew)

It was in and out the pool all day as it was really one of the hottest Christmas days we have ever experienced.

Lunch was a real traditional one, with gammon and roast lamb. All the trimmings and ice cream and hot chocolate sauce to finish it off.

It seems that it is only once or twice a year that the family is able to get together, so these are special moments.

Missing all the other kids all over the world but with them in heart and spirit.


Para Trap World Cup in 2018 - Lonato - Italy

Trap Concaverde
Shotgun officially joins the World Shooting Para Sports family. The first ever World Cup event for Para trap took take place in Lonato Italy.

Alongside World Shooting Para Sport, FITAV hosted an excellent competition and a monumental one in the development of this new discipline.

Open to athletes who have a physical impairment, the discipline of Para Trap Shooting is based on the Olympic Trap discipline. The  World Championships saw 57 athletes from 16 nations competing.

World Shooting Para Sport went to Lonato Del Garda to one of the most beautiful shotgun ranges inTrap Concaverde.  This is a historic event in the continued development of Para Trap.
World 2018 Para Trap 


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.
