IAIN MACGREGOR has once again been in Guernsey providing coaching to trap and skeet shooters hoping for future success in the Island and/or Commonwealth Games.

Macgregor is one of the most experienced shotgun tutors in the UK and one of only a few International Shooting Sports Federation ‘A-level’ coaches. He trains a number of international shooters and is discipline performance manager for the Scottish team.

Coaching usually requires a trip off-island and therefore the members of the Guernsey Clay Target Shooting Club are lucky to have benefited from a total of three weekends coaching with a further one booked during September.

Macgregor has been concentrating on the international competition disciplines with a view to building on the medal successes of 2007. With the competition season well under way, the club has been a hive of activity with monthly, club championships and international competition selection shoots taking place most Sundays at the Portinfer clay range.
