Updates as I travel my shooting journey
Here I will endeavor to keep you updated with my everyday emotions as I take part in training sessions and competitions, and as I learn more about this sport I love. Travel with me as I find my way through the sometimes complicated world of para shooting, the highs, lows and frustrations that come with being a para athlete.

Over the weekend I entered the first round of the British Shooting Air Series to be held 26-27 October 2024 at NSRA Aldersley. (Round 2, 30/11-01/12/2024 and Round 3, 15-16/02/2025 will also be held at Aldersley and I'll be entering those as soon as they're released).
I also had training at Moreton on Lugg with WAA where we checked whether I would have to adjust the height of my spring for prone as we'd adjusted it in Carmarthen because we're making adjustments to my sights and cheekpiece.
Today, I entered the Welsh International Airgun Championships 2024 which will be in Cardiff at the end of October - beginning of November. This is a four day competition for para athletes, and my second time of entering. Looking forward to it.

Decided to redo my website as I've been a bit remiss with updates etc. Lots has happened this year so I'll try and get things as up to date as I can without too much waffle.
I'll probably write so that the entries are in date order with the most recent on the top.

Swansea Parafest has finished and after a shaky start, I managed to come away with a silver medal in the R4 standing aggregate competition and a 4th place in the R4 final, and a gold medal in the R5 prone aggregate with a silver in the R5 final.
Really happy but totally exhausted after the two days of competition.
Was great to see so many athletes there this year, I had to earn my medals this time round, and good to catch up with fellow shooters over the weekend.

Finally classified as a SH2 athlete!!
Today I was officially awarded my WSPS National Classification of SH2aa. Hopefully this will now open up a whole lot of new competitions and experiences for me.
