The Britannia Grand Prix

The Britannia Grand Prix (BGP) originated as an Olympic Skeet competition founded in 2003; designed for existing talented shots and to encourage novice and social shooters to compete in an international standard event.  To continue to build on its success, from 2007, the BGP included Olympic Trap and Double Trap and in 2009 a SportTrap competition. In the coming years it will provide the highest quality competition opportunities to UK and international competitors training towards the UK hosted 2012 Olympics.

To continue to build on the ethos of the BGP being a vehicle for developing talent, 2009 sees the birth of the Britannia School Project:  The aim is to create the opportunity for shooting to become a sports option for pupils in schools where such facilities would not normally be available. The BGP is an open competition, designed to create an atmosphere which is professional and inspiring for the regular competitive shooter, and friendly, encouraging and progressive to the novice competitor and social shooters.  The award structure is such that every competitor may realise their goal of being on the podium, ranging from High Guns to the ‘Most Improved Competitor’.  All competitors are assisted at every opportunity to achieve their maximum potential, to enjoy the experience and take away some thing of value, be it a medal or the satisfaction of personal achievement.
