Mitchell Brooker-Smith is a promising young British shooter. He is 16 and comes from Gloucestershire Having started shooting at the age of 12, he now shoots Olympic Skeet for England and Great Britain.
July 2020 saw me return to the world of competitive shooting. With lockdown restrictions being gradually eased, the CPSA were able to allow some competitions to be held – and one of them was the West Midland Area Olympic Skeet Championship. Much as I have been looking forward to competing again, I must admit that I was hit by a wave of emotions about four days before the competition. I felt extremely nervous. My support group tells me nerves are a good thing as they can be turned into a positive force for success and it shows how much you care about what you are doing.
