GBRT : South Africa 2012

Rick started rifle shooting at Oakham School 20 years ago. A key Nottinghamshire team shooter and coach since 1996, Rick has also represented the NRA and Great Britain Under 25s three times in the Channel Isles. In 2002, he toured as part of the Great Britain U25 team to Canada, top scoring within the team in the Grand Aggregate. Rick has represented England in the National three times and Mackinnon twice. Richard also won the Champion of Champions match in 2004. This will be Rick’s fourth Great Britain tour of which the third to South Africa.

In 2008, Rick was a member of Steven Thomas's GB tour of South Africa; was part of the winning teams in the two big matches and individually won the Free State Orange Championship and the Free State Open Trophy. He also won the Corporation and Monday Aggregate that same year during the Imperial Meeting. Rick also has a collection of Queen's badges and St George's badges.

Rick has up until recently been working for Walkers Crisps which has taken a toll on his diet but a move to Jaguar Land Rover will, he hopes, resolve this.

Rick is married to Izzy, has a son Samuel and another child on the way. In his spare time Rick likes clay pigeon shooting, graphic design, scuba diving and has found a new love attempting to grow vegetables!
