Colin Skellett

Colin shot small-bore while at university in the late 1970’s, getting his first ‘possible’ during a break in the final exams for his degree. It was always his intention to get back into shooting once he had settled into a career path but it ended up being a break of over 20 years, before a change of job put him in an office with 3 full-bore shooters. This then led to discovering the delights of trying to read the wind at Bisley.

Over recent years he has shot regularly for Hertfordshire and is currently their Captain. He has had some success in a couple of the ‘minor’ NRA Imperial Meeting competitions, winning the Champion of Champions and the Chairman’s Prize.

This will be his first tour and he is looking forward to the challenges and experiences it will bring. Colin is delighted that his wife Fiona will be accompanying him on the first leg of the tour to BC and the USA.

He is a Chartered Physicist but has now been retired for a few years and is married with two grown up children. To try to keep fit, he enjoys running, cycling and recently, ballroom dancing and also enjoys catching up on DIY around the house and pottering in his home workshop. In addition he is interested in classic motorcycles and cars.
