In short, I want to help those who want to learn. Clay shooting is great fun and like all other sports, it's a way of letting go. I don't instruct; I coach, because at the end of the day, it's all about you being able to do it on your own!

  Senior Shooting Coach

  Feb 2000 - Present - Barbury Shooting School

  I am a loyal, passionate, tenacious, intelligent, curious and focussed person. I am articulate with a warm, calm presence and strive to find the best outcome in everything I do. I am perceptive and therefore naturally able to adapt to different circumstances and characters. My journey to Clay Shooting…A previous employer entered a South of England clay shooting competition, and knowing I had a shotgun, they asked me to join the company team. I loved the competition and developed a serious passion and enthusiasm, alongside a competitive edge for clay shooting. I made it my business to improve myself so I had a couple of lessons at Barbury Shooting School and in the third year of competing, I was top gun in our team.From Clay Shooting to Clay Coaching…I was totally taken by clay shooting, it brought out my own competition within myself and I really developed as a person, outside of shooting. I realised at that point that shooting, having become my hobby, needed to become my profession. I was hugely empowered by my Coach at Barbury, and inspired by the opportunity to become a Coach, to pass on my talent, passion and ability; to help other people learn, enjoy and improve in the sport.
