Gunmakers take the prizes at the Inter Livery Clay Shoot

The Gunmakers fielded 8 teams this year, including the first all-women livery team, at the Inter-Livery Clay Shoot, 16 May. Set at Holland & Holland’s superb shooting ground in the west of London, with a fine breakfast to start the day, and a light breeze, conditions were good. Our teams collected a modest 5 prizes: the Top individual Side by Side prize, won by Mark O’Dowd, the Top Side by Side team – who also won the overall team prize, the Top Lady, won by the Countess of Lucan, the Top Court Team, and the Livery Charity prize.
