Brown Jack professional coaching day with Louise Minett.
What a way to begin a Sunday…… This Sunday some of our Brown Jack team plus Steve G were lucky enough to receive professional coaching from Louise Minett, and what a few hours it was!

She has represented Great Britian at numerous World Championships, World Cup’s and European events, winning 1 World Cup Medal, 6 Commonwealth medals and she is 10 times British Women’s Air Rifle Champion.

Foster Carers fun shoot with Brown Jack ARC, at Supermarine Sports club.
We were approached recently by Swindon Borough Council and asked if we could hold an evening of shooting for our Swindon Foster Carers. Absolutely, and what an evening it was!! Everyone shot brilliantly, mostly in the target, and so not many holes in the walls! We had lots of laughs and banter and even a medal at the end for the ‘Best Shot’! These guys do a fantastic job, guiding, supporting and giving structure to the children and young people they foster. It makes an immense difference and it’s truly rewarding. It was a pleasure coaching everyone and we hope we see them again, hopefully at practice!
