My name is Nathan Skinner and I am twenty five years old, I am a competition clay shooter and began my shooting career seven years ago. I am from Ashford in Kent, when I began clay shooting I attended local shoots in the area to gain experience and get into the competition environment, I first got help from Dartford Clay Shooting Club from Scott and Kelly which started in 2013/14 .
I am now training at the club every week and have been given all the knowledge and expertise from the club over the last seven years and after a break from clay shooting I returned in 2021. All what I have learnt has led me to where I am now.
When I left school and started work my shooting took a break for a few years. I started my journey back on the circuit last year and in a much bigger way in 2021 (as above) and it sure felt good to be back I came away with a gold medal at the British grand prix compact overall champion, and I also made the super final at the world English sporting and came 6th overall. I also won gold in AA class in the same event I am verry grateful for the support I have from Dartford CS and Air Brake Connections Ltd.
I currently shoot a Blaser F3 30” with the combination of ELEY VIP federations which is a great combination. This year I would love to do it all again and better myself and work on bringing home a couple of big titles.

My goal for this coming season is to make the GB Compact Team and also the GB Sporting Team. I would also like to get myself into the top rankings of sporting shooters and would like to walk away with a big title or become world sporting champion.
I will be putting a lot of time and effort into my training this year with Scott Batcheldor and getting my timing right for all the competitions and my pre routine as we done so this year.
I am 100% dedicated to my shooting career and focused on what I need to achieve, I am fully backed by ABC & Dartford CSC and will attend all of the major competitions in 2022.
