I would like to take a moment to talk about something other than shooting. On the night of 24 January, I received the devastating news that my mum lost her battle to Covid-19. Many of you who knew my mum will remember how much joy and positivity she brought along with her to competitions.
She was always loud and bubbly and would literally talk to anyone, even if she didn’t know them. She will be missed by many of her friends within the shooting community; myself, my dad and the rest of my family will miss her dearly.
