The sun shines - also and above all in a metaphorical sense - on Shooting Tuscany which passed the mark of the third winter weekend dedicated to Olympic pit with excellent participation results. The satisfaction of the Regional Delegate Fitav Sara Fanciullacci is tangible and legitimate. “After the third round of the Trap winter - underlines the Tuscan executive - we can truly say that participation is higher than expected. Whereas they have been made substantial changes to the Championship, we imagined a slightly more muted start and instead the response of our shooters was immediately marked by the full satisfaction of the circuit.
The 107 shooters on the platform in Pisa and the 117 in La Torre of the last weekend are an incontrovertibly favorable signal. There is even a significant increase compared to last year's winter and in addition it must be said that there is a festive atmosphere on the fields that underlines this positive start of the season. " In the test scheduled at Tav La Torre, the runways of Cenaia witnessed a high-level competitive challenge that produced significant technical results. In First category, for example, Nicholas Antonini was the author of a brilliant 49/50 that forced Tommaso Pesucci's excellent 48 to virtual second place, ahead of Riccardo Martinozzi and Roberto Martinelli's 47.
In Excellence, a group of well-known names presided over the top of the ranking: with 46 centers Marco Bagnoli, Giulio Nelli, Stefano Narducci and Jacopo Cipriani took first place in the ranking of the top division. Nice comparison also in the Second category with Simone Camerini who took possession of the top of the standings with 46 centers ahead of Luca Marini's 45. 44 useful targets attributed the victory in the Third category to Alessandro Danti in front of the 42 of Thomas Bassetti and Claudio Tocchini. Among the Ladies it was Martina Donnini who scored the best score: a 44/50 which preceded by measure the result of Isabella Cristiani, while Riccardo Mirabile easily dominated the challenge of the Youth Sector with 44 centers ahead of Demetrio Pupeschi's 41.
In the Paratrap classification an excellent 43 underlined the supremacy of Saverio Cuciti over Maurizio Buralli's 33. Flavio Cipriani He imposed himself among the Veterans with 46 ahead of Roberto Bocci's 45 and the 42 of the Organizational Manager of the Tuscan Trap circuit Giancarlo Viligiardi, while Sergio Toni stood out among the Masters on the 40s of Dimitri Paganelli and Giovacchino Di Bartolomeo. A nice comparison also characterized the test of the Tuscan winter of Trap on the historic platforms of Pisa.
In Excellence Giulio Nelli scored the best score: his 48/50 clearly preceded Marco Bagnoli and Jacopo Cipriani, attested to 45. In the First category the summit was occupied by Maurizio Barbagli with 47 in front of a large group of authors from 45 centers: Tommaso Pesucci, Nicholas Antonini, Fabrizio Bruni and Roberto Martinelli. With Isabella Cristiani and Martina Donnini at the top of the Ladies' ranking with 45 useful targets and with Riccardo Mirabile leader of the under 20s with 43, the Second category featured the 44 of Fabio Milighetti and Ezio Rossi. Claudio Tocchini imposed himself in third place with 42/50 ahead of the 41 of Matteo Ponziani and Alberto Maria Palai. The 44 of the Veteran Roberto Bocci and of the Master Sergio Toni are also valuable. "The innovations introduced in this winter 2022 - specifies the Delegate Fitav Sara Fanciullacci - they were generally appreciated by the public of lovers of Tuscany.
In these first tests of the circuit I perceived a favorable climate and a satisfaction which, moreover, had also been decreed by the managers of the Associations when, at the end of last year, I had involved all the Tav of the region so that they could elaborate the Championship program together with the Delegation and could suggest the prerogatives that would allow them to work better and obtain the best results in terms of organization and participation. " "The adoption of unexpected schemes in the winter trials - reveals the top manager of Tuscan shooting - triggered an unexpected competitive spirit. There was some perplexity, to tell the truth: our environment does not always receive changes with immediate enthusiasm. On the other hand, the more conservative approach we had adopted in other situations had actually produced a stasis, therefore it was legitimate to play the novelty card.
Deciding not to play, so to speak, in defense, but to adopt a different model convinced many of our shooters who immediately willingly got involved in a Winter Trap Championship that certainly has very new prerogatives. A shock was needed at the Tuscan Trap and the measure has given results: at least we have triggered reactions. The fact is that we have brought back to the circuit shooters who have not frequented the platforms for a long time and we have persuaded them to go and compete even in those historically less frequented facilities because they are decentralized or because traditionally devoted to local activity due to the size of the structure. In these first tests of the Olympic Fossa Winter Championship, the Tuscan skeet shooting is, so to speak, back on track in a stimulating and proactive way. I really hope that the circuit proceeds and ends with the same euphoria! " (source: FITAV).
