Huge opportunities for every class & category!
We have a minimum prize pot of £400,000 in cash and prizes which will be distributed across lettered classes & categories in the TopGun main event & sportrap. The flow diagram here shows the format of the TopGun main event.
The main event will be shot in squads of 4 over 2 days. The time that you select for day 1 will be same start time for day 2. Please note there will be a fair handicap system in place for the super final.
The Main Event...
The qualifying days will consist of 4 rotations. Each rotation will be 2 days of shooting. Each competitor will shoot 125 targets on Day 1 and then 125 targets on Day 2, giving you a total out of 250 targets. The start time you select for shooting on Day 1 will be the same time you start on Day 2.
From each rotation the Top 5 from AAA, AA, A, B, C and the Top 2 from Ladies, Colts, Junior, Veterans and Super Veterans will be invited to compete on the finals day which will be held on the 14 June 2026.
If you are invited back in any of the above classes / categories to the final, you will go away with at least £250 prize money.
We will be running two additional categories which will be the Disabled Sitting and Disabled Standing. The highest 3 scores from Disabled Sitting and Disabled Standing at the end of the 4 rotations will be invited to compete at the super final on the 14th June 2026.
Please note that you will only be able to shoot in the Super Final for the prizes in the lettered class or the category you have qualified in.

The TopGun competition was an idea that was born following lots of conversations between Syd, Amy, Clive & Sam. Following the build of Eaton Hall we had major plans to transform clay shooting as we know it in the UK. With competitions popping up all over but with little change or excitement, we feel that its time to catch the rest of the world up and set a precedent as a English shooting ground blessed with some of Derbyshires challenging terrain to show exactly what can be done with a great team, great facilities, great targets and a huge amount of enthusiasm for the sport we all love.
It has already taken a huge amount of time and effort to perfect just how TopGun is going to be formatted. We at Eaton Hall will run TopGun as an annual event with plans to grow the competition to bigger and better things year on year.
Get it in your diaries, get booked on and look forward to a week to remember… we promise you we will deliver an event to remember!
