The three winners of the 2021 BASC Ladies’ Star of Shooting Awards have been announced.
For the second year, the awards were split into three categories: Target Shooting, Game and Gamekeeping, and Field to Fork.
Laura Boswell, from Northamptonshire, took the Target Shooting category, Zoe Roper-Smith, from Norfolk, the Game and Gamekeeping category, while Shropshire’s Izzy Hosking won the Field to Fork category.
The awards, now in their fifth year, were once again sponsored by The Sporting Lodge.
Each of the winners will receive a Barbour waxed jacket as well as an invitation to The Game Fair in July to collect their awards from BASC chief executive Ian Bell.
Tim Gardiner of The Sporting Lodge said: “We are delighted to have supported this most prestigious event again. Our congratulations go to the worthy winners and to everyone who entered this year.”
