I’ve been shooting all my life, coming up through the ranks of air rifles and small-bore rifles. I started shooting full-bore in university, and my interest grew over the years. Initially, it was just for fun, but my competitive edge took over.

I started my F-Class journey shooting with the Dorset Riflemen at Bisley. I quickly got hooked on the level of precision and wind-reading skills it took to do well.

I was inspired by the Great Britain team winning the F Class World Championships in 2009 and started shooting the GBFCA league the following year. I initially started shooting a .284 with Reloader 17 I quickly learnt that Nigel imported the same powder under the name Elcho 17, which we all now know as RS60.

I had many successes in the League and also won the Imperial F Class meet at Bisley, taking the Grand Aggregate and the Queen’s Prize on two occasions.

With great pride, in 2013, I was invited to be the Great Britain F Open team Captain for the touring side to Canada for the 2017 World Championships.
I’ve had many successes over the years using Reload Swiss products. Their ultra-consistent performances helped me to podium places.

I’ve won the British F Class Championships in both F Open and FTR with RS62 and RS40 respectively setting an FTR 800 yard of 75.12V along the way. Also Reload Swiss helped with its superior performance to a silver individual medal in the F Class European Championships. Now looking forward to the World F Class Championships at Bisley in 2026, I’ve confidence in Reload Swiss powders knowing their performance will give me the edge and help me get that ‘Perfect Hit’
