Peter Wilson breaks world record

Peter Wilson shoots a new world record in the double trap men's final at the ISSF Shotgun World Cup in Tucson, Arizona.

Team GB shooter Peter Wilson has broken a world record.

Wilson claimed a new record score of 198 hits out of 200 targets in the double trap men's final at the ISSF Shotgun World Cup in Tucson, Arizona.

The 25-year-old said: "This is pretty special, I'm really looking forward to the Olympics in London and the home environment, it's an exciting prospect.

"I feel oddly relaxed considering the feat I've just achieved. I've had great support from the team around me and through the lottery-funded world-class programme at British Shooting."

Wilson broke the previous record of 196 hits that was set by China's Hu Binyuan in 2009.
