Happy birthday Jonny! It was finally the last day on tour, and most of the team woke up a little bleary-eyed and fuzzy-headed. Roo woke up in a persistent vegetative state until after his breakfast (lunch?). All that the team had to do today was to pack up and head home, though this was going […]

We may have won the Canada match, but there is still an entire day of competition to go, so we mustn’t lose focus. Yesterday was an extremely successful day for Great Britain but our goal was to come over and win in all matches, and as many individual competitions as possible. Our last bright and […]

Today’s the day we have been training towards for the past year: the day of the Canada match.

Notable results from yesterday: Ottawa Regiment 800m Jeremy Tuck – 3rd Jon Underwood – 4th Half of the team had a leisurely start to the day with their first shoot not until half past 11. The rest of the team had a bright early morning to get to the range before 7. Steph was particularly […]

Day 4 of tour life saw the team leave the hotel at 7am with some team members a bit bleary eyed from the day before. Breakfast was had on the range in the team hut and was a veritable feast of cereals, nuts, fruits, seeds and toast. After a few slices of toast were created […]
