He began shooting before most of the team were even glimmers in their parents\u2019 eyes; and most of what he learned is regrettably no longer even a distant memory. It is believed that in the dim and distant past David had the occasional good shoot and that he was once lucky enough to win HM The Queen&#8217;s Prize. David is making his third trip to South Africa, the last being 10 years ago when he was a member of the GB Palma Team as a target coach. On this tour he has the dubious privilege of being the team armourer, dubious since David has no wish to waste valuable drinking\/eating time trying to work out which bit goes where. David and his wife Karen are in the process of starting a company smoking food. They specialise in cold-smoked venison (shot by David) and anyone in the vicinity of Bisley is likely to be asked to try the latest batch. Like a celebrity chef, he will be willing to exchange recipes with any Biltong experts to refine his offering.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having recently reached the milestone of his 50th birthday David is now officially &#8216;Over-The-Hill&#8217;.
