Occupations

I am a competitive and social shooter. I shoot both shotguns and rifles, and do trap shooting (like they do at the olympics), sporting clays (which is clay shooting but simulated to represent hunting) and full bore rifle shooting (or known as the Queen's Shot).

I am not aiming high with the sporting clays or rifles, because those two I just go out for one reason, for fun. Though my scores at the rifles indicate I should be aiming far higher, and the treasurer of the club has let me know his feelings every time I shoot. But its known, I am there for fun and no other reason.

The sporting clays, I got into it by mistake, I was in the right place at the right time, I guess. Never knew what it was, until I walked into a gun shop in the city to buy ammo after being fully licensed that day. I was speaking with one of the assistants (whom I'd later find out owned the shop), and then the manager walked out, turns out that he is one of the best coaches in Australia, and also the Director of Sporting Clays in Australia. He was interested in the fact that I shot because I am a female, and also I can shoot clay targets. So I sort of went down that path too, in sporting clays.

But the traps are my speciality, and I am now aiming for London in 2012. Realistically I cannot aim for Beijing, I am only new to the sport, and it would be above me now. Plus I like the idea of London above Beijing, since its the mother country too :D

As for my job love it, they have been good. They are also letting me off the hook for 3 weeks over Xmas, so I will be holidaying, on the Gold Coast. Going there to for my other passion, horse racing, and also plan to shoot whilst I am up there.

Here's an open invitation when you do come to the UK to shoot some clays with us. I would just love to see the guys on our shoot's faces when a really good, female, shot turns up....

We only tend to do clays during the summer - during the winter the game season is the primary activity.

I was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate.
