The English Open was held at the new Misfits venue, located at the Market Harborough Showground. On an exceptionally blustery and wet day, two members of the newly formed Air Arms springer team chose to take on the challenge of the mighty Misfits.

Dan Gordon and Gary Chillingworth, both armed with a TX200, battled the elements and had a lot of fun in the process. Unfortunately, for Dan, it was one of those days where every split target stayed up, while for Gary, it was the opposite, where every split target fell over.

On the day, the top PCP score was an impressive 49, with Kathy Thompson taking the win with her Anschutz. Snapping closely at her heels was Gary Chillingworth with a 47, just 2 points behind with his TX200HC. 

This demonstrates that the quality of modern springers is closing the gap to the PCP.
