James started shooting at Framlingham College in his early teens. He won the Cadet Rifle Aggregate and was an Atheling in 1975, and then continued at Edinburgh University where he was the Captain of Full Bore. A career in dentistry and three children interrupted shooting for about twenty years, and since then he’s been trying to make up for lost time.

He was a member of Lindsay Peden’s GB team in Canada in 2016 that still holds the record for the Commonwealth Match (6 off), and has also toured in New Zealand, South Africa, USA, and the Channel Islands where he was the Captain of the 2023 NRA team. Now retired, and the kids have grown up. he intends to keep touring for as long as possible and keep in touch with all the friends he has made across the world in our great sport.

John has been shooting for over 40 years and has been coaching for over 25 years. His first Imperial Meeting was in 1984, and he has been a regular member of the Wandsworth Team. He has coached Gloucestershire in most major competitions since 2015. Although touring with Wandsworth, both overseas and in the UK, many times, he came to senior touring fairly recently. However, this will be his third senior tour in 5 years. It will also be his fifth shooting trip to Canada and second to the USA.

John is a retired finance professional (Chartered Accountant, Group Finance Director of a company listed on The London Stock Exchange and also Deputy Chief Executive of the same Group).

Apart from shooting activities and touring team organisation/management, he enjoys skiing, cycling and watching other sports. He is trying to find the time to play golf again, but Poppy the Labrador insists on lots of long walks.

Ian first shot on his 11 th birthday when his father bought him an air rifle, which he still has. From there, he progressed to Lee Enfield No. 8s in the Cadets at 13 and then onto small-bore at his father’s club. He was then asked to join a regional training squad and later the National U21 small-bore rifle squad. His small-bore highlights include coming 2nd in a competition at the NSRA meeting and being selected as reserve for an U21 tour to Norway. Unfortunately for Ian, no one dropped out, so he did not represent GB that time, and so has unfinished business in that area! University then came, and Ian stopped shooting when 19 - something he now regrets. Ian re-entered the sport by sheer fluke some 26 years later, when in 2011 his company asked for shooters in an inter-factory full-bore TR completion. Ian pitched in, had a decent shoot and thought, "This is fun!" and instantly became a fully committed full-bore shooter.

In 2014, Ian was part of John Webster’s NRA tour to the Channel Islands as a shooter and returned there in 2023 as part of the management team. His third (but not final) trip to the Islands will be as Captain of the 2026 NRA team. In 2016, Ian achieved his ultimate goal, which was to shoot for GB as part of Lindsay Peden’s tour to Canada & USA. 10 years later, Ian is Adjutant to the 2026 team – a task which he now realises is not to be taken lightly!

Off the range, Ian enjoys family life with his wife, Sarah, and two daughters, Emma (21) and Lucy (19).

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.

Edinburgh-born Simon has earned twenty-one “Big Five” caps as a shooter and coach since 1990. He was part of his country’s winning Mackinnon team in 2025 and helped coach Scotland to their win in the 2022 European Long Range Championships.

He has been on two NRA tours, visiting the Channel Islands first in 2014 as a shooter, then in 2023 as main coach. This will be the first time he has competed in Canada since 1987, when his captaincy of the Athelings tested the patience of his commandant, legendary former NRA Chief Range Officer Tony Clayton.

Simon has recently retired from a career in the television industry, during which he was responsible for a great many programmes you haven’t watched.

Christopher has been shooting since first firing an air rifle in the garden, from then he’s been to Germany, Canada, Trinidad and Guyana. He’s a regular member of the Norfolk team and has represented England in the National, Lawrence and the European long range match. Closer to home he shoots with the West Suffolk rifle club. This will be his fourth visit to Canada and first to the USA.

When not shooting or at work, time is spent walking the dog or on his bike. Time is also spent cooking and dabbling with home brewing. Happily married with two grown up children.

Michael started shooting as a Cadet in the Campbell College CCF and is now the shooting officer in the Contingent. He is a regular for Ireland in the National and Mackinnon matches and is a member of the Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games Squad.

His individual successes include winning seven Northern Ireland Championships, the Jersey Summer Meeting, City/Royal Navy Open and in 2022 Michael was the first competitor in 26 years to achieve the Irish double, by winning both the Irish Open and Northern Ireland Championships in the same year, a feat he repeated in 2024. In 2018 he was proud to Captain and shoot for his club team when they won the Astor County Championships for the first time. Michael is also a member of the URA Fullbore Committee, the governing body for fullbore target rifle shooting in Northern Ireland. This is the Belfast man’s second tour to Canada, having been on Andrew Lothian's team in 2023. With many relatives living in Canada, it is a country close to his heart.

A professional photographer, Michael is grateful for the support of his ever patient wife Sara and their children Amy, Robbie and Harry who are all studying at university.

Luke started shooting in 2012, where he participated in the sport through the Air Cadets until 2014 before taking a considerable break from the sport. Resuming his involvement in late 2021 once commissioned in the RAF, he rediscovered his passion for the sport through the RAF Target Rifle Club and competed in his first Imperial Meeting in 2022.

Since then, Luke has represented the UK Armed Forces in South Africa in 2024, England during The National Match in 2024 and 2025, and the NRA during the 2025 NRA Team to the Channel Islands Tour. This will be Luke’s first GB tour and he is looking forward to being part of a senior touring squad.

Off the range, Luke serves in the RAF as an Aero Systems Engineering Officer. Currently stationed at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, he is a Junior Engineering Officer on Chinook helicopters. Outside of work, his interests lie in Nordic skiing, cycling and golf.

Rupert learnt to shoot at RGS Guildford and continued to hone his skills as a member Cambridge University Rifle Association, where he was awarded a few half blues and a history degree.

Rupert has shot for several counties, competed in two sovereign's finals, and represented England in the National and the Mackinnon. In 2025 he travelled with the NRA team to the Channel Islands where he won (and lost) several tie shoots, ultimately coming first in the Jersey Rifle Association's Crabbé Aggregate as well as a number of individual competitions. He also achieved his highest finish in the Grand Aggregate at Bisley, finishing 6th. Additionally, he has won several trophies at club and county opens through the years.

When not shooting fullbore rifles Rupert dabbles in smallbore shooting, rock climbing, and taking his spaniel for runs in the countryside. He is employed as head of history at Winchester College in Hampshire and continues, when he finds the time, to conduct his own archival research.

Scott first started shooting in 2000 with 197 (Devonport) Sqn, ATC in Plymouth. He now shoots with Gloucestershire and the RAF, and in recent years has captained the RAF, the UK Armed Forces as well as being Adjutant for the English XX vs UKAF match.

Scott has been no stranger to Bisley or touring with overseas teams, having been to the Channel Islands once with the NRA team and to South Africa on five occasions with RAFTRC and UK Armed Forces teams, as well as with the infamous delayed England team to Kenya and South Africa in 2023. This will be Scott's first tour to both the USA and Canada with GB, and he is looking forward to training with a high performance squad. 

When off the ranges, he is an Avionics engineer in the RAF, with the last 12 years on Chinook helicopters. Away from the job, Scott is a volunteer at a RAFAC Sqn in Gloucestershire and is currently doing a degree in electrical engineering.

Like many, Simon signed up for "shooting" as a Thursday activity at Cranleigh Prep School, learning with great bewilderment on the venerable No. 8 cadet rifle. Annual outings at the OCRC vs School match gave him a taste for competitive TR shooting, which he was lucky enough to take up at Newcastle University and earn his first county cap for Northumberland.

Work and skiing took over for a while, but Simon's passion for shooting was fully reignited when he was persuaded to enter the 2019 Imperial Meeting, going on to earn his first top-50 finish in the Grand Aggregate and win the Daily Telegraph Cup with a mere 75.15.

Since then, Simon has gone on to be part of the England Lions programme, toured Canada with the 2023 GB team, and the USA with the 2024 England team. He has also taken up the reins as secretary of the OC Rifle Club, and volunteers as a guest coach at Cranleigh School. When not shooting TR, Simon enjoys smallbore, skiing, mountaineering, and works at a consultancy serving the energy industry in Croydon.

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!

Bruce started shooting at Kelvinside Academy, Glasgow, Scotland as a games option that kept him indoors in the rugby season off parade for CCF.  His first Bisley was 1985, and it’s always had that “road trip” feeling.  He carried on shooting at Cambridge University where his main contribution to student shooting was to co-found the Rats.  After a brief hiatus while working abroad and dabbling with Match Rifle has been shooting TR ever since.

He mainly shoots with Wandsworth and Scotland.  This will be his first GB tour (although he did wangle a cap as Kolapore Adjutant), so is looking forward to actually shooting for GB. He has shot in US and Canada before, but not at Camp Perry or Borden.

Shooting has also influenced his life in that’s how he met his wife Anne-Marie, an alumnus of Greshams, and that background is probably the only reason he could get away with a 3 week tour/shooting holiday.

Susie was lucky enough to be selected for a number of GBU25 and England teams when she was younger. These wonderful teams and tours took her to Canada, USA, Australia and South Africa and cemented a lifelong love of shooting. Susie never quite made it to a full GB cap though…..

As life became more complicated, Susie's focus shifted to making sure the smallest Luckmans learned to love Bisley as much as the parents did. She would still enter the Donegall and the Sovereign’s prize each year, but otherwise her shooting took a temporary step back.

More recently, and as a result of David’s undeterable encouragement, Susie started to enter more competitions, which led to a fantastic tour to the Channel Islands with the NRA team in 2025 and undeniably unexpected 4th place finish in the King’s in 2024. And now she is delighted to be selected to represent Great Britain in both Canada and the US, proving you are never really too old to do what you love!

Luca started shooting in 2013, at the age of 12, after he joined the Royal Grammar School, Guildford. Starting on air rifle for two years, he graduated first to smallbore and then to fullbore a year later. He shot with the Ireland team and the GB U25s shortly thereafter, and toured Canada with the Athelings in 2018 and with GB in 2025.

Luca is now no stranger to touring. He was selected to join the NRA team to the Channel Islands, first in 2020, but the tour was postponed and then sadly cancelled due to COVID. Eventually he went in 2022, in a team that went undefeated, which had not been done for over ten years. He has since been Reserve on the 2023 GB team to Canada and was part of the winning GB U25 team in South Africa for the 2024 World Championships, as well as visiting Borden in 2025 with Paul Gray's team.

Having completed his degree in Product Design at Loughborough University, Luca is now the shooting master at Epsom College.

James started shooting at prep school aged 11 and continued with small-bore at Brighton College, but it wasn’t until he commenced his studies at the University of Reading that he started visiting Bisley. In 1995 James was appointed Shooting Master at Epsom College and enjoyed 13 years coaching Epsom VIIIs to 7 Ashburton wins and 5 second places. He has kept a connection with youth shooting as Director of the British Cadet Rifle Team (The Athelings) since 2011 and is the GB U25 Team Manager for the Australia Match in October 2026 and the U25 World Long Range Championships at Bisley in 2028.

Over the last 9 years James has made more time to focus on his individual and team shooting and is now County Captain of Gloucestershire. He was Captain of the 2025 UK NRA Team to the Channel Islands and is delighted that four members from that tour are now gaining their first GB cap on this team.

He is very much looking forward to a first trip to compete at Camp Perry, along with what will be his fifth tour to Canada, having been Adjutant of the Athelings in 2001, Commandant in 2010, a member of the England Team in 2019 and the Great Britain Team in 2023. Outside of shooting, he has just completed 13 years at Millfield School where he was Deputy Head and is now an Education Consultant advising on pupil recruitment in the UK and internationally.

Ryan Warren

Ryan first discovered the precision and discipline of smallbore rifle shooting during his school years, a passion that rekindled decades later when he returned to the sport. Progressing from .22 to 300m ISSF and then to fullbore target rifle, he competed in his first full TR Imperial in 2020. Since then, he has been gaining momentum at Bisley, including a Top 25 St George’s finish in 2023, second places in both the Palma Aggregate and Varley, and a Top 50 Grand Aggregate result in 2024.

Ryan was delighted to secure his England caps in the Lawrence and the National in 2025, following a reserve position in the National the previous year. He is currently a member of the English Lions Squad and an active member of the London & Middlesex Rifle Association, where he also represents the County of London. His first touring experience with the NRA Rifle Team to the Channel Islands in 2025 has sparked a keen enthusiasm for future tours, and he is proud to have been called up for for the GB Rifle Team to Canada in 2026.

Away from the range, Ryan works in the (re)insurance and financial services industries and enjoys family life with his wife and two daughters, one of whom has already taken up the rifle.

Sam started shooting around the age of 14 in the Air Training Corps. During this time, he gained sponsorship to compete in the Imperial Meeting, though admittedly, the centre of the target often proved elusive. Sam took a break from shooting for five years whilst at university, returning in 2017 to compete at club and county level. In 2019, he again competed in the Imperial Meeting, and despite eight years out, stumbled his way into the Queen’s Final. Sam has shot in numerous Astor, KGV, and County shoots for Northumberland and Durham.

In 2021, Sam joined the Royal Air Force Target Rifle Club in 2022, touring to Jersey with the RAFTRC, and to South Africa with the UK Armed Forces team in 2024, continuing UKAF representation at several matches at Bisley.

Andrew Morley

Andrew became an avid .22 rifle shot early in his school career, having worked out that if you became good enough at one sport, he could avoid all the other ball games he didn’t like! He went on to Lancing College to develop full-bore shooting skills, although he did actually also acquire some scientific academic qualifications along the way.  

 Andrew almost made it to Canada as an Atheling in 1973, but a family matter at the time meant he had to withdraw his application. He then took a 35-year sabbatical from shooting to go offshore yacht racing instead, eventually coming back to shoot his first full Imperial Meeting in 2009.

 Andrew also had to pull out of another team heading out to Canada in 2018, but he’s toured the West Indies with an England team and attended the 2019 Long Range World Championships in NZ as a member of the GB Veterans team.
