Biggar clay pigeon shooter Steven Allan is second at English Open
A RURAL clay pigeon shooter from Biggar with a £600 Bretta shotgun simply flew past English rivals who used weaponry worth £15,000.
Despite his much more modest financial outlay, Steven Allan (45), of Cardon Drive, Biggar, landed second place out of 350 competitors at the prestigious English Open Down The Line Championships staged in Newcastle.
“World champions were competing at the event so I was very happy with second,” Steven said.
