Stuart Young

Stuart started his shooting career at the age of 13 when he was introduced to the world of Target Rifle shooting by his father David. It was a certainty that he would continue in the sport as it’s considered a way of life in the Young household with 5 out of 6 family members competing regularly in TR. Once he became competitive behind a rifle he progressed through the team ranks, starting with several GB U19 and England tours to South Africa and he was privileged to be Vice Captain of the GB U25 team to Australia for the World Championships in 2011.

This will be Stuart’s second senior GB cap and a return to the challenges of Camp Perry and Connaught after a successful tour in 2012 where his highlight was winning the Alexander of Tunis.

Stuart now finds himself totally immersed in shooting whilst at home, living a literal stone’s throw away from Bisley ranges whilst plying his trade as a carpenter everywhere from the home counties to the North West. He continues to refurbish Club Row and his favourite bar! In the not too distant future, Stuart would like to use his training in hand crafted furniture to make the ultimate custom rifle stock – after all, real wood is most aesthetically pleasing. In his free time, when not shooting, Stuart enjoys some new found hobbies including cycling, a recent triathlon and teaching himself to play the guitar, although progress is slow!
