Thought he had already retired anyway.

 
Shame. I heard him recently (last month I think?) talking about starting his preparation for Rio early in the new year. Obviously had a change of heart. Good luck to him is what I say and he will obviously still be involved in coaching new DT shooters.

Bat & Ball guys deciding he's too old?????

 
Sorry, rather cynical previous post.

Real shame he's decided to call it a day.

Good luck with his future projects I'm sure the his efforts will benefit the shooting community as a whole.

 
Great to go out at the top.

Always a fantastic ambassador for the sport.

 
Probably the thought of shooting 1000- 10000 cartridges a week in training!

 
With the amount of training that was apparently put in to get him to the top he may not wish to repeat.

 
Don't get too excited , he might switch to Sporting.  :lol:   :asciidity:

If he has the sense to take up sporting, few of us "train". We just plug onwards competing, thinking it will all come together in a few weeks, before realising it takes a few years. But we do enjoy it on the way and there is no monotony.

 
Doesn't his coach, come from a "sandy" place? I don't mean Camber...

Perhaps his coach has suggested he enter Al Nad Sheba?

 
If you had to do such intensive training for a specific goal and you reached that goal then we're is there to go and would you want to do it all again just to reach the same goal again, I think he has done the right thing out at the top.

 
I am ignorant of sporting but I don't see how you could train for and unknown target! Shooting Olympic trap disciplines you can train because the targets are known to be exactly what they say they are on the spec sheet ... you just don't know the order the will come in.

Broadly you are right. You can learn types of targets to master, but they will be just that bit different when you see them at your next competition. I remember practicing teal avidly to conquer my main technique failings. Then I didn't see one in my next five comps. It's a broad learning curve..
