Graham Nelson

Graham started shooting small-bore aged 11 at Stamford School, before progressing to full-bore and subsequent selection for the Athelings. After school he represented the Great Britain U25 team at the World Championships in Connaught and re-founded the Newcastle University Rifle Club. On leaving university his shooting took somewhat of a back seat as life got in the way. A tour of the Channel Islands with the NRA team restarted his representative shooting and this led to a first cap for England in the National Match in 2015.

Away from the ranges Graham is a hospital junior doctor working in the Manchester region as a specialist Anaesthetic trainee. He also plays golf with a handicap of 8 and enjoys fell walking.

Graham is looking forward to returning to Connaught and to the renewal of old friendships as well as the new challenges of shooting in Washington State.
