Just back from a great weeks shooting at E.J. Churchill’s, shooting the world sporting championships. Brilliant to shoot in the England team with the best shooters in the world all there. Came away with a team gold And two individual bronze medals. Happy with that although I could have shot better in places.
It’s onwards and upwards, as I change my blazer badge from 3 Lions to the GB shooting team tonight. Then it's off to Cyprus to shoot the FITASC world championships in the Great Britain team. What a life.
Many thanks to my sponsors

Our Flow frames have been a bestseller in our prescription sports glasses collection for a while now and we think we know why. Their versatile wraparound design and customisable arms and bridge, make them a great all-rounder for men and women alike. What better backdrop to showcase the Flow in action than these amazing pics sent in by our customer Gavin Baylis from www.stylealtitude.com – taken in Off Clot Gauthier Serre Chevalier, French Alps.

Important Delivery update for Northern Ireland and EU customers.

We feel incredibly sad to be stopping delivery to customers in Northern Ireland and EU countries. However, the new GPSR legislation has hoops we just aren’t able to jump through at this moment.

We will be accepting orders up until Tuesday 3rd December 2024. This gives us time to manufacture your glasses before the GPSR deadline.

We’d like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all our customers in Northern Ireland and the EU over the years. We hope we can find a solution soon.
