How did you get involved in the sport and what was your shooting journey to get on to the performance programme? I started shooting when I was about 10 and shot double-handed or off a rest at that stage. In 2016, I attended my first major competition, the Welsh Air Gun Championship having just started shooting single-handed. In 2019 I won the British Junior Men 10m and retained my Scottish Junior title. This was the year I applied to the Performance program. Since then I have attended the Hungarian open in 2021 where I came 3rd with a qualification score of 568. In 2022, I set a new PB of 572 at the BPC 10m championship. I also attended the Junior World Cup, the ISSF Grand Prix Granada and the Nordic Championships, where I won Bronze in the mixed pairs and team events.
Where do you do your shooting? Anywhere I can. I shoot at Balerno & Currie Rifle Club, St. Andrews Rifle Club and the many ranges used for training weekends. During lockdown I shot across the landing on the Scatt.
What are your hopes and plans for the future in terms of your shooting career? My plans are to be the best I can be. My dream would be to attend a World Cup and possibly the Olympics.
Any other interesting non-shooting related fact about yourself that you would like to mention? I I'm currently attending Abertay University in Dundee studying Ethical Hacking. For relaxation, I practice Yoga and read. For fitness, I attend the gym and have recently taken up rock climbing, which is great for mental strength and physical strength.
