Nigel Ball

Nigel Ball QM GC SM SC

Nigel has been around the shooting scene for many years now, both as a Service Rifle shooter during his time in the Royal Navy and more recently as a Target Rifle competitor. He now uses this experience to train the next generation of marksmen and women as Shooting Master at Wellington College in Berkshire.

His first GB target rifle team was to Canada in 1991 and other tours include visits to the Channel Islands, Zimbabwe, South Africa, USA, Australia, the West Indies and New Zealand. He has toured with GB to Canada several times before but this will be his first time at Camp Perry and he is relishing the challenge of learning what is, to him, a new range.

Nigel has a selection of Grand Aggregate crosses, George’s Final badges and Queen’s Final badges but enjoys shooting big team matches most. He has been involved with GB Australia Match and Palma Match teams for the last 17 years and ranks them among the highest team shooting experiences, but any chance to represent his country is an honour he will readily accept, for as long as his back will allow him to!
