USA & Canada 2026

Reg is a Chartered Accountant who owns a recruitment agency in the South of England. Although Australian by birth, he arrived in the UK in 1983 and the country has suffered ever since!  He started his shooting career as a cadet in 1971 when laid up with a rugby injury.

Reg has toured overseas on 12 previous GB teams including 8 to Canada, one to Australia in 2005 as Captain and was a target coach for the GB Palma winning teams in 2007 and 2015. His personal achievements include 26 HM Sovereign's final badges, 6 Grand Aggregate crosses and 12 St.George’s badges. Inducted into the ‘big five’ in 2016, he Captained the winning Kolapore match that year with a record score on ICFRA targets.

His is married to Jennifer and has four children, two of which, Nick and Tim, are already avid fullbore shots. Reg’s other hobbies include fly fishing, share investing and the development of a golf resort in British Columbia.

Richard’s immersion into rifle shooting began at Wellington College.  The opportunity to visit Bisley was attractive, and success culminated in being selected for the Athelings tour of Canada. It is exciting to be returning 40 years later for a first GB cap!

In between, Richard has shot for the County of London, winning all the important team silverware.  Richard toured the Channel Islands with the NRA in 2003 and represented England in the 1997 and 2010 National matches. His claim to fame is coming 4th in the Queens Prize in 2008 with the same score as the winner.  Unfortunately, V-bulls had been invented by then.

Away from shooting, Richard enjoys sailing, munro bagging in Scotland and golf. He recently underwent a career change from marketing director in the global insurance industry to publicity officer for the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, with an MA Archaeology in between!

Jon’s passion for target shooting started at the tender age of 11 at Aldro School on a 20 yard range in a converted greenhouse. Jon learnt about fullbore shooting and ‘Bisley’ when he moved to the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, continuing at London University.

Jon has achieved a number of notable successes over the years including winning the Bisley Grand Aggregate, the H.M. Queen’s Prize, and the Governor General’s Prize. He has also been a consistent member of many successful teams representing England and Great Britain, with the last two years comprising a GB tour to Canada in 2025 and the 2024 World Championships in South Africa with the GB Palma team, where he picked up third place in the World Long Range Individual Championships Final.

Back home, Jon looks after his family’s many business interests, including a tool hire business. In his ‘spare time’ he has returned to RGS Guildford to help coach the school’s rifle team.
