David is looking forward to returning to New Zealand after a 19 year absence. This will be David’s sixth Palma team and he is relishing the opportunity to potentially compete in the match that will complete the set of Palma matches in all of the major venues. Back home, David’s successes include winning The Queens Prize, Grand Aggregates, the St George’s and golds at the Commonwealth Games. In 2015 after a long eight years he finally managed to shed the title of ‘the oldest ever World Individual Long Range rifle champion’.
David started shooting with Sedgemoor Target Shooting Club and represents Somerset. He is married to Susie and they live in Bristol with their son Thomas and daughter Sophie. When he has time, David is a keen sports player and enjoys cycling, tennis, swimming and surfing.
