THE Smith family from Begbroke are celebrating a memorable double in the shooting world.
Carl, 19, set a personal best score of 544 out of 600 at the English Air Rifle Championships in Wolverhampton to become the English junior ten-metre air rifle champion.
And his father, Alan, has been chosen to take part in a Great Britain trial to decide the team to face the USA at Bisley for the Roberts Cup next June.
Carl is a member of the Great Britain junior development squad and has shot for his country in Germany and for the British Schools team in South Africa.
