Home at last after a long ish morning in Munich airport sorting out the check in Its amazing how different parts of one company can interpret things totally differently than the rest of the world… it’s a bit like Hampshire and west Yorkshire firearms licensing departments! So on the way out we had 2 hold [...]
Bloody first shot nerves got me again today! First shot a cracking 8.9 up at 10 o clock. Its defiantly an area I need to work on however it will be much easier to train on this issue once my Meyton arrives I was on a different firing point as expected today and had a [...]
Today saw my first match of this competition which had a number of funny events for me! Once again there was another total lack of consideration this morning from the same person! My match was at 10:05 this morning so I took a trip down to the range at 830 after a nice light breakfast [...]
Thursday and its my day off so a good lie in is in order… yeah right! When on trips abroad it is important to me that I am as considerate as possible to the rest of my team.. by doing this I like to think that it sets the example and that the other people [...]
Today we’ve had a nice late start followed by training in the afternoon. As the range was quiet full I decided to go through equipment control. Its always nice to see some friendly faces especially on the side of the Jury! As I had gone down the range in my boots and left my trainers [...]

This week I have been trying to work on perfecting my air rifle process and visualisations for Munich. I’m finding that I am getting just a little bit sloppy with the visualisations but have been working on placing a “trigger object” on the firing point to remind me why I am there and what I [...]
I’ve managed to get mine and Mikey’s free access to the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth thanks to the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme. It’s great to get back in the gym though its not much fun when I’m there on my own but I get by this just by thinking “what would Kenny and Pickle be [...]
Had to finish shooting the first stage of the ELEY competition today – the prone had already been shot in an earlier session so today was an S&K day! I did the standing and managed to shoot quite well taking on board the lessons learned in Hannover. Mikey was impressed and so was I. It’s [...]
So Saturday arrived we had breakfast and headed off to the airport after some funny confusion with the taxi driver. We were waiting for the Airport Shuttle to arrive outside the hotel entrance. There was a taxi already there who asked if we were going to the airport… We explained that we were waiting for [...]
