Here’s an early report from the 2015 World Palma Team Championships being held at Camp Perry. After Day 1 of the Team Championships (conducted on August 13th), Great Britain is in the lead with a score of 3551-403. That gives the Brits a 30-point margin over their closest rival. Team USA holds second place with a score of 3521-359, followed by South Africa in third with a score of 3512-339.
Today, August 14th, is the final day of Palma Team Competition. We’ll see if Team USA can come from behind, or whether Team Great Britain can build on its Day One lead. Stay tuned for more updates, including the final results after today’s team matches.
Here is Junior Team USA member Dusty Taylor showing off her USA pride. Today is the final day of the Palma Team World Championships. Dusty says: “Go USA!!!!”

There so little US coverage of the event available making these posts nice to see. Thanks!
Agree with Guy. No strong US showing seems to diminish the coverage of what is an international event.
We got so fed up with the poor coverage in the UK that some guys set up the Barry Buddon Broadcasting Corporation. Its an ironic play on the BBC with Barry Buddon being the range in Scotland where the Commonwealth Games shooting events were held and where the real BBC was notable by its absence. Its available on Facebook although I hope our American friends will forgive us if it focusses on the fortunes of the GB team!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GREAT BRITAIN PALMA RIFLE TEAM.
Matthew, Great to hear. Most of my updates have come from European sources. A International event held only every twenty five years per country you would think would get a mention here and there!
