Gary (optometrist and co.dir. with Specsavers) is now entering his 5th decade of shooting. He started at the Royal school Dungannon in northern Ireland aged 12 and has not missed an imperial since.

This will be the 6th visit to DCRA where the hospitality and friendships are as keen as the shooting and as warmly anticipated.

Outside of Bisley Gary coaches the Wiltshire army cadet team and takes any opportunity to fit in a bit of game shooting (though I have got to get fitter before I go “walked up grouse shooting again”)! Scuba diving has become a big passion under the guidance of partner Zoe and the time off work is beginning to stretch under pressure from shooting tours and diving trips.
