Ladies shooting stars
The winners of BASC’s fifth annual Ladies Star of Shooting Awards have been announced. The awards aim to highlight the best of the best female talent in the shooting industry.
The Shotgun and Chelsea Bun Gun Club’s Laura Boswell claimed the Target Shooting award. Laura runs ladies’ day events at Sporting Targets on behalf of the club and has helped hundreds of women onto the stands over the past three years.
Gamekeeper Zoe Roper-Smith took the Game and Gamekeeping award. She was singled out for praise by the awarding committee for her dedication to the highest standard of bird welfare on her Norfolk farm.
Izzy Hoskin won the Field to Fork award. Her business, Pennant Valley Game, began as a simple game preparation service for shooters and now offers fully prepared game at farmer’s markets across Mid Wales.
Kathleen O’Connor, BASC Ladies Shooting organiser, said of the winners: “Our panel chose Laura, Zoe and Izzy as they each represent the best of our sport in their respective categories. It gives us great pleasure to recognise the work and dedication that these women put in so that we can all continue to enjoy shooting.”
