Outside the luxurious club, traffic was stopped on the main road every hour so the dignitaries could shoot off some cannon! Try that at home, folks!

On the firing line, shelter from the 80°+ heat.

......... and five minutes later they went for a beer!

Nick Jenkinson receiving the special limited-edition beer stein as top honour with Volker Blüm translating - "...........and you put the beer in this end, Nick!". After all, this was in the beer tent.

And to give him his credit, he did buy a "round"!

A pleasant end to a very memorable shooting competition at the other end of Europe.
