This will be Jumbo’s third GB tour to South Africa and his eleventh trip to Bloemfontein since his first in 1993. Shooting in the Southern Hemisphere is somehow different and the General de Wet range and its surroundings magical. Like most of us, if we keep shooting for long enough, individual shooting success surprises both the shooter, friends, and team captains to different degrees, so an individual gold medal at 900 yards at the 2011 World Championships was almost as satisfying as winning the Queens Prize in 2007. But of course that’s rubbish! However, the combined successes of this touring team both individually and at team level is humbling and I am excited to be part of it.
