David Rose

David started his shooting career at Epsom College in 1994 after being rejected for the cricket team. What was the Oval’s loss was Bisley’s gain! He saw success at school culminating in an unbeaten season as Captain in 1999 and two Ashburton wins.

Continuing his shooting at Southampton University, allowed David to tour with the U25’s to the Channel Islands and Australia, and the passage of time has certainly not diminished his appetite for touring. Recent years have included tours to South Africa, Canada, West Indies, New Zealand, and the USA, most recently gaining his first Palma cap with the GB team at Camp Perry.

After a monster year of shooting in 2015, 2016 was supposed to be the year to “take it easy” however the motivation continues and David is looking forward to a 4th trip to Canada and the challenges of Connaught. Perhaps this will be the year to break 45 in the Alexander of Tunis!

A keen team shooter David is enthusiastic about his club shooting as much as his international duties. A thriving Old Epsomian Rifle Club continues to see success with him at the helm and he continues to support and encourage participation from all levels and experience.

Away from shooting David works in London as an Operations Manager for a Recruitment business which is very understanding about his time away.
