The 29th annual Casa de Campo Sugar Shooting tournament unfolded without a hitch last week with events taking place from Tuesday April 19th through to Sunday April 24th.
This annual tournament hosted by J.Pepe Fanjul sees a varied and interesting group; people from all around the world come here to enjoy the Casa de Campo resort’s extensive and indeed world-class shooting facilities. With guests from Texas, the United Kingdom and Florida, if there was one thing everyone had in common, it was their enthusiasm and appreciation of the Casa de Campo Shooting Center. This year there was an incredible amount of young people participating as well and some even won! Such was the case for Daniel El-hagge: 13 years old, who won Class D of the Sporting Clays Shooting Tournament! There was also the Purdey Cup Awarded to Mason Berry by James Horne chairman of James Purdey & Sons Gunmakers; the Gubelmann Cup was awarded to Jerry Seay by James Gubelmann himself, and Mr. J.Pepe Fanjul won High Overall this year.
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated during the tournament, it was clearly an event that everyone enjoyed and loved being apart of!
