Alastair had his first foray into the world of shooting at the age of 8, albeit at a cold and dark outdoor small bore range in the middle of winter. That was quickly abandoned for a decade until he went to the University of Southampton, where he picked up the sport again, going on to Captain the university team in ’99-’00. It wasn’t until after University that he took up full-bore shooting, and has never looked back. He has competed at County level for 13 years, and has represented Wales in the National match for the last 10 years consecutively. To his and his teammates delight, Alistair was a member of the first Wales team to win the National Match in 2016. Should Alistair be called into the team this will be his 8th overseas tour, his 3rd GB tour and his 3rd visit to Bloemfontein.
