Lindsey McKerrell

Lindsey started shooting six years ago at Dollar Academy, age 13, subsequently participating in four Schools Meetings and three Imperial meetings at Bisley. Her most successful year so far was 2013 when she was part of the team that won the Ashburton Shield and individually won the Imperial Cadet Grand Aggregate. She earned her Scotland cap for the first time on her 18th birthday, selected for (and winning) the Lawrence match at Blair Atholl. She also shot in both the National and Mackinnon matches the following month.

With a shooting career as short as she is (very), Lindsey has only been on a couple of tours so far. In 2012 she shot with UK Cadets in the Channel Islands, and helped to win the Cheshire Cup. Then in 2013 she went to Canada with the Athelings, coming 3rd overall and winning 2 out of 6 individual shoots in the Canadian Cadet Meeting. She was part of the team that won the Rex Goddard and the U25 Long and Short range matches in Canada.

Outside of shooting, Lindsey is working towards a Masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, and is a keen member of the university riding club as well as the rifle club
