Neil Beeby was given his first air rifle at the age of 13. He soon joined a small-bore pistol club and had the good fortune to be coached by Olympic bronze medallist Alan Bray. He soon branched out into rifle and shotgun shooting too, continuing in shooting sports through university where he won college colours. Discovering practical rifle shooting was a revelation and he went on to win nearly every regional PR Championship at one time or another, culminating in the National League Championship in 2008. He was also in the winning Methuen civilian service rifle team that same year. By this time Neil had become involved in nearly every branch of the shooting sports, winning the Soldier of Fortune three-gun event and several S.R.A practical shotgun matches. He had also become a keen classic and veteran service rifle shooter, winning numerous mad-minutes, rapids, snaps, aggregates, running deer and longer range prone matches. Off the range he also became involved in deer stalking and vermin control and is now involved in deer management in North Wales. First time here, definately not the last, we will be back. Neil is a great instructor. Carl
