What a shock! my condolences to his family. When I first started using AA rifles, he was always patient and helpful over the phone. A great loss to our sport.

Bill was not only pivotal in the refurbishment of the G.B. Paralympic Shooting Team's facilities at Stoke Mandeville, which took 4.5 years of many of our lives to achieve, but in fact he was first to bring it to our attention. His input into the sport, across many different platforms, was of great value.
A great loss to the sport.
