Pleased to report that Mick Gault, the only pistol shooter on the W Class
programme has had a fine start to his international season winning the silver
medal in the Mens Air Pistol event in Munich yesterday in a strong, world
class field.
Gault, who is a multiple Commonwealth Gold medallist, and medal prospect for
the CG 2002 later this year started the final in 5th place and climbed up the
rankings in the 10 shot Olympic final scoring 101.4 to clinch second place by
0.1 point. This equates to 1.2mm over a 70 shot match and made for an
exciting Final - the shooters fire shoulder to shoulder, shot for shot!
