I was actually quite handy at OS, and to begin with the funding was excellent, so the training, coaching, clays and cartridges were all free. ![]() Even so, after many phone calls I caved in and went to try Olympic Skeet. The Olympics is a hard path, you have to travel all round the world and shoot in competitions, and if you win, you win a place for your country, not yourself.Īt the end of all those competitions, it’s down to the selectors to decide who goes – and back then it seemed they didn’t always select the best. Then around 2010 I was asked by a British Shooting coach to try Olympic Skeet – which, to be honest, I had no interest in whatsoever. It was a cracking gun, but unless you set the beast up correctly it can make shooting rather hard work. It was probably around 20 years old, but it worked really well.īack then, I really wasn’t strong enough or competent enough to shoot a Krieghoff. Supposedly all that survived was the action, so it had new barrels and wood fitted. ![]() This was a reconditioned gun, rumoured to have been in a house fire. I then moved on to my first Krieghoff K80 Super Sporter 30in. I started my shooting career with a Winchester 6500, and shot the poor thing until it just about fell to pieces.
