Sir Jackie Stewart Classic - a DTL shoot with a difference

Legendary Formula One racing driver Sir Jackie Stewart OBE was a top international clay pigeon champion before he took up motor racing. So when he created the Sir Jackie Stewart Challenge, to celebrate his life and raise funds for the charity Race Against Dementia, he insisted on including a shooting competition. The event was held at Thirlestane Castle in the Scottish Borders on Friday 17 June 2022, with the motoring festival following on the Saturday and Sunday.
We talk to Sir Jackie about his life, his love of shooting, and why he switched to motor racing when his clay shooting career was going so well. Plus we meet a man who kept two boxes of Eley Trap shells in his loft since the age of 16, in the hope that one day he would meet Sir Jackie and get them signed.
And top DTL shooter Paul Chaplow explains the scoring system, why he finds the discipline so addictive - and gives a few expert tips on how to shoot it.

What a guy Sir Jackie is, i have followed him from the "Starshot" days. A true gentleman and a great ambassador for clay shooting and motor sport.

This was an amazing event,
Thank you for showing my pup in your video, it was an honour to meet Sir Jackie, the Eley team and the beretta family.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Jackie Stewart 30-40 years ago at Camp Pendleton Marine Corp Base in California.
He was filming a DTL trapshooting video. He is truly a very genuine and kind man. Also he’s a pretty darn good shot!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting to have come across this on TH-cam. I’m a petrolhead but brought up on a farm & did a lot of field shooting with both shotguns & rifle. My Uncle, William,(Bill), Allan was the Captain of Scotland’s Clays Team & Jackie was in the team at that time. I kno that Jackie has a team photo with himself & Bill side by side, does anyone out there know where I could get a copy of this photograph? Bills Dad was also a pretty good shot & was a reserve in the Olympics that was pre War. Bill was a farmer but also a professional goalkeeper who played for Dunfermline Athletic amongst others. I don’t kno if Jackie has any memories of him but he was a great, larger than life character, sadly he has long passed over.

God bless him, one of my childhood heroes.

The guy with the boxes of cartridges must have been a baby if not even born with Jackie Stewart was racing professionally. Man, Jackie Stewart ' def old enough to remember watch him on the TV as a kid. in the early 70's .Good thing he did there as i worked as scientist for some years in Dementia research.

I also remember watching sir Jackie in Chester, (North Wales shooting school as its know now,) about a 20 min drive for me, they were great days, always looked forward to dad taking us down there, and seeing the famous and the royals as well like princess Margaret and a few others, star shot was great. Spent a lot of time at that shooting ground as a kid, born 1966,great memories, thanks for bringing it up 🙏

I shot alongside Jackie at an Olympic Trap event in the Mid 80's held at a ground called Sealand just inside North Wales. He beat me but his gun inspired me to get one which I eventually did. It was a side lock Beretta SO4. Very approachable chap. Regarding this video, I am not that impressed with the guys wandering around with unbroken shot guns at 3:45 & 3:58

[@welditmick]

Indeed - A cardinal sin but no-one batted an eyelid. Says more about the surrounding people than the one holding the gun(s).
