This inter-counties competition includes teams from Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Essex, London, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and Sussex.
The overall competition was won by Essex, but Charles won the under 16's competition.

Charles, 15, said "I have been clay shooting for 5 years now, originally at Ashfold school (Dorton, Bucks.) and then at the Oxford Gun Club (Oakley, Bucks.) but wanted something more challenging. I started this discipline last year and it felt good to win this championship."

Olympic Skeet is one of the hardest of shotgun disciplines – some of the targets come towards you at 50 mph and others cross at closing speeds of 100 mph.

Charles also won a silver medal in the under 21's class at the Brittania Grand Prix in Dorset in April.

Charles shoots for the Oxfordshire team in Sporting and English Skeet and last year won the under 21's Oxfordshire championships.

Charles trains two or three times a week, sometimes at Edge Hill Gun Club near Banbury and at the National Clay Shooting centre at Bisley.

Charles added: "I find it hard to fit in all the training needed and my school (Magdalen College School, Oxford) does give me time, and I have high hopes for several other national competitions later this year and am working towards representing England next year."
