World Pea Shooting Championships, Witcham, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 12 Jul 2009
NOVICE WINS PEASHOOTING TITLE
A complete novice has won the annual World Peashooting Championships after entering for fun.
Jim Collins, 34, came top in the quirky contest in the picturesque village of Witcham in Cambridgeshire after several hours of fierce blowing.
The dad, from nearby Hadenham, Cambs, had a surprise victory after using a conventional peashooter to beat local Ian Asmeade who used a specially adapted laser-guided shooter.
"It was definitely beginner's luck" said Jim.
"It was the first time I had tried the sport and taken part in the competition.
"I was very surprised to win, but extremely happy with the result."
Competitors from as far away as the USA and New Zealand battled it out in the unusual competition.
The contest has been staged on the village green since 1971 when it was first started to raise funds for a community hall.
As part of the contest competitors have to hit a target, which is fashioned out of putty, from a distance of 12 yards.
The pea used is very important, ideally it must have a diameter of no more than 5.5mm, otherwise it tends to get stuck, and it should have a smooth regular shape.
Due to this the common garden pea is unsuitable and the top competitors use dried maple seeds.
