What a total shock this is. I was only talking to Dave on Sunday at the Anston shoot and he seemed like his old self. He went out of his way to bring me some painkillers from his car when I mentioned I had a headache - just like Dave to do such a thing.

RIP Dave - you will be missed by those who knew you and your experience will be missed by those who haven't taken shooting up yet but will in the years to come. A sad day for airgun shooting - whatever discipline you follow.

Dave.

I don't know of anybody else who did as much for shooting and shooters as Dave. Honest, genuine and loyal. Everytime I left Dave I felt a little bit better than before I'd spoken to him.

Dave, to those who knew you, you are a giant

RIP

I am stunned by this news, Dave Baines was the only man who set a target on peg 13 that I couldn't knock over, I had never missed target 13 before. He was always a gent to me and everone I saw him with, I am deeply saddened and wish to pass my condolences to his family.
