He has shot regularly for Suffolk (both fullbore and smallbore) and shot his first Imperial in 2013. He has enjoyed the ups and downs, (but not the left and rights!) at Bisley reaching the final of the Queen\u2019s Prize on 3 occasions and finishing twice in the top 100 of the Grand. He is very proud to have been selected as a member of the England Team as a new cap at a relatively senior age.
