Welcome to another episode of the Fennell Shooting School Podcast, brought to you by The Clay Lab. In this exciting installment, host Will Fennell is joined by none other than the legendary George Digweed MBE, the most acclaimed clay shooter of all time. This episode promises a deep dive into two major topics: the upcoming Fujairah Mountain Shooting Championship and George Digweed’s enduring legacy, including his collaboration with World Champion Anthony Matarese Jr. on clay target instruction.
The Fujairah Mountain Shooting Championship is a premier event held in the stunning Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. Known for its world-class organization and unparalleled luxury, this championship shoot stands out not only for its competitive spirit but also for the exceptional amenities provided. Participants can expect top-notch service, including all-inclusive arrangements for hotels, airfare, and concierge services. With substantial payouts across multiple categories—Ladies, Open, Juniors, and Seniors—this championship is a high-stakes, high-reward event that attracts the best shooters from around the globe. Will Fennell and George Digweed delve into the intricacies of planning for this unique event, covering everything from weather considerations and terrain challenges to the intricacies of target presentations. Their discussion provides valuable insights into what competitors can expect and why this is a shoot you absolutely don’t want to miss.
Digweed’s illustrious career includes groundbreaking achievements such as being the first to shoot a ‘100 straight’ in a World Championship. He also set a new record in October 2011 by breaking a clay target at 130 yards, surpassing his previous record of 118 yards. His 2009 season was particularly remarkable, featuring victories in his 16th World Championship in Texas, as well as the World Sporting Championship, European Championship, Mitsubishi World Series, Pan African, and Italian Grand Prix. In April 2022, Digweed made history once again by becoming the first shooter to win a world title across five decades—the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s—by securing the World Sporting Championship. His impressive record includes 16 World Sporting titles, 12 FITASC World titles, and two Compak World titles, in addition to 19 European titles and 12 World Cups.
Beyond his competitive accolades, George Digweed’s influence extends to clay target instruction. He has produced a series of instructional DVDs in collaboration with World Champion Anthony Matarese Jr., offering valuable insights and techniques for aspiring shooters. These resources are available at Digital Clay Target Instruction.
Concluding the podcast, Will Fennell and George Digweed reflect on the latter’s unparalleled contributions to the sport of clay shooting and his ongoing impact through instruction. George Digweed and his wife, Kate, also manage a commercial shooting venture at Owley Farm in Wittersham, Kent, further showcasing his dedication to the sport.
