My name is Hermione Burns and I am Eighteen years old, I am a competition clay shooter and began shooting when I was eight years old but it has only been in the last four/five years that I have shot competitively. I started off shooting English skeet, and tried a little “Down The Line” (DTL) and Sporting. I enjoyed shooting DTL the most. I have previously worked with well-known GBR shooter and ISSF B licensed coach Rod Gould since June 2017 and also with Steve Scott who at present is my current OT coach.
I started training on Olympic Trap at the beginning of 2018. In July I shot in my first registered Olympic Trap competition scoring 72/100 and repeated that score in October to win the South East Inter-Counties Olympic Trap Colts title.

How I train: -
I am gaining experience in all areas of shooting and understanding more about what makes a champion. I am also getting the opportunity to shoot 100 practice clays a week through sponsorship from Dartford Clay Shooting Club (2023) which is bringing my shooting on rapidly, I use them on ABT to keep my timing on point, along with as many competitions as I can. This has also improved my shooting and has made me a lot more consistent. This also means that I am available to shoot all major competitions and travel abroad next year again 2024 as a junior.
I am 100% dedicated to my shooting career and focused on what I need to achieve, I am fully backed by my parents and many friends I aim to attend all of the major competitions and train as hard as I can for 2024.
