Nigel Ball GC, SM, SC

Nigel has been around the shooting scene for several years now both as a Service Rifle shooter during his time in the Royal Navy and more recently as a Target Rifle competitor. He now uses this experience to train the next generation of marksmen and women as Shooting Master at Wellington College in Berkshire.

His first GB target rifle team was to Canada in 1991 and other tours include visits to Zimbabwe, South Africa, USA, Australia and New Zealand. This will be his first visit to the West Indies and he is relishing the prospect of shooting on new ranges and meeting old friends who visit Bisley regularly.

Nigel has a selection of Grand Aggregate crosses, St George’s Final badges and Queen’s Final badges but enjoys shooting big team matches most. He has been involved with GB Australia Match teams for the last 16 years and ranks them as one of the highest team shooting experiences, but any chance to represent his country is an honour he will readily accept.
