2022 is proving to be a profitable year for shooters using our trap and skeet chokes. In the fourth stage of the 2022 World Cup that has just ended in Baku (Azerbaijan), several medals were won and excellent performances recorded on the race fields.

To complete the podium we find our Danish athlete Jesper Hansens, third with 25 targets.

With only two mistakes she took home the title of champion, closing the competition on the top of the podium ahead of the American Caitlin Connor.
