Matt has been a member of the GB Handgun Squad since its inception and has earned 3 colours and 5 caps (3 with Pistol, 1 with Revolver and 1 with Revolver Optical).

Matt was drawn into shooting through friendship with fellow shooters, who gave him the opportunity, coaching and support to build on his natural talent for the sport. He favours iron sighted disciplines and in 2016 he shot a National Record for Timed & Precision One with a Classic Rifle (300.29) and this record still stands. In 2015 he joined SLG Bisley and started shooting handguns in Germany. He has since shot in several WA1500 European and World Championships throughout Europe. He won an individual Gold in Sweden at the 2023 World Championships and he won a Gold, 2 Silvers and a Bronze in Germany at the 2025 WA1500 World Championships. A great achievement amongst stiff competition.

Matt is part of the Squad travelling to the Czech Republic for the WA1500 European Championships this year and hopes to be selected to shoot for GB again.

Matt is an enthusiastic volunteer providing support to new shooters where he can and he regularly helps out on the GB GR &HG Bring & Buy stall to help raise funds and to act as an ambassador for the team. He also gives a lot of support to the SLG Bisley Open, including responsibility for building and maintaining the targetry and as part of the Range Crew.
