    Sad loss of a Gentleman.

    Only met the chap twice on this years GP rounds, but he quite obviously was a great chap and did loads for all us FT shooters, plus many other I am sure. A good bloke that will be missed, my feelings go out to his Family especially at this time of year, such a loss.

    Unhappy Such sad news

    He will be greatly missed by the sport and the sportsmen involved, but will never be forgotten.

    My thoughts are with his family and friends.

    God Bless.

    I met and talked to Dave on quite a few occasions and he also put himself out for me when I needed some new ratchet straps for East Devon FTC late last year, Sadly I never got the chance to shoot with Dave. My condolences to pauline and family from all at East Devon FTC and SWEFTA. RIP Dave ,a true gent and a giant of the airgunning world.

    I can't believe I'm reading this. Dave is/was a true giant amongst men in airgun shooting. A great ambassador for airgunnning, I find it hard to think of him not being there

    Dave you'll be missed

    I can only add to what has already been written - deeply saddened by this news, its really knocked me for six; rest assured, when I see a target placed almost 40 foot in the air, I will be thinking of you Dave.

    A great man, a great sportsman and a great friend.
