After spending 35 years in the motor trade Steve decided to follow his passion and become a shooting instructor. He started shooting with his father at the age of 10 using a bolt action .410, and was immediately hooked on the sport. In his teens he worked at a local clay club as a trapper, at weekends and in the school holidays.
Later he taught his eldest daughter to shoot and found he had a great aptitude for coaching, so in 2016 completed various CPSA courses and also qualified with the Association of Professional Shooting Instructors (APSI), and was accepted as an associate member. Not long after he started working with us here at Bisley Shooting Ground.
Previously Steve owned his own garage selling sports and prestige cars and before this worked for Mercedes Benz for many years. He still has a great interest in cars and motorcycles and very much enjoys off road riding on the green lanes in Surrey and Hampshire.

John started shooting shotguns and also fly fishing at the age of 10. He was lucky enough to be allowed to shoot and fish at school, this was when it was ok for pupils to take a gun to school!
John’s career has passed through many different areas including Hotel Management, Engineering and finally into Software where he was Assistant Vice President for an American Software company. After retiring from the software industry John decided to share his passion for shooting and fishing by becoming a freelance instructor in both. John is a member of the Association of Professional Shooting Instructors and has been working as a freelance instructor at Bisley since 2006.
John’s past interests have included flying helicopters and Kart Racing, however when he is not instructing at Bisley he can now generally be found on a chalk stream somewhere!
Christine worked as a Civil Servant for 20 years then decided that being cooped up in an office was not for her! After completing her LANTRA coaching and loading qualifications Christine coaches as a freelance instructor for 8 years whilst also shooting competitively, becoming Sussex Ladies Champion in 2009 whilst pregnant with her daughter. She continues to represent Sussex shooting on a regular basis.
Partner of a Shepherd and daughter of a farmer Christine has spent many years beating, picking up, being a shoot captain and now loading and coaching for clients on the peg in the game season. She is never happier than being stood under partridges and pheasants and getting immense satisfaction helping her clients bring down that bird of the day!
Christine is a passionate instructor, however when not coaching clients she can be seen travelling up and down the country around Europe and the world competing in major championships.
Introducing new shooters to the sport of clay shooting, giving advice for competitive clay and game shooting and coaching and mentoring are hugely important parts of instructing for Christine. She looks forward to helping you improve at Bisley Shooting Ground.
