    A sad loss

    Deepest sympathy to Dave's family - for BFTA I suspect he will be irreplaceable.

    dave, you will be missed very much indeed not only amongst the hft circuit but by many other aspects of the shooting world!
    inspiration to the sport, shooters and friends.
    hopefully you hit the bull where ever your destination takes you and im sure you'll be enjoyed by many more in your new resting place!

    peace be with you and your family!

    Totally stunned. My thoughts are with Pauline and the rest of his family.
    A fine ambassador to our sport, who will be greatly missed.

    Irreplaceable.

    Although I'm pretty sure David didn't know me from Adam I certainly knew who he was and I can only agree with everyone else that he will be sadly missed.

    Top bloke.

    My condolences to his family.

    Will not forget playing twister to see some of Dave's targets.

    Rest in Peace Dave

    Dave was a truly honourable gentleman.

    He went out of his way to make all new shooters to both wings of the sport feel welcome!

    And has been mentioned, every time I address a vertical target I'll be thinking of you mate!

    God Bless!

    So sorry to hear of Davids passing.

    His encouragement of, and attitude toward the sports of FT and HFT were an inspiration to us all.

    He will be much missed.

    My deepest sympathies.

    I met David once at Redfearn. He came across as true gentleman who was only too keen to help.

    I can honestly say that I am shocked and saddened at this terrible news.

    My thoughts and condolences are with his family and close friends.
