Once again, we have shown that Scotland is now alongside the best that Europe has to offer. If we continue to improve, we will soon be in front.

We now have a pool of 27 members from which to form our teams. As the vast majority are seasoned hard working and high scoring shooters, this can be a real headache – but I think we can live with it!
