Gordon R Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) I see that Mel Sykes has had her first lesson in clay shooting, from Peter Wilson. After hitting her first two clays, Mel modestly stated that she was aiming to enter the 2016 Olympics. I just hadn't realised that it was so easy. :lol: http://shootclay.co.uk/2013/02/04/melanie-sykes-gets-coached-by-peter-wilson/ Edited February 4, 2013 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil3728 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Fair play to her, if it keeps shooting in the papers in a positive light then i'm all for it. She could be a natural, i'm sure she can find the time to put in the practice. Some people will jump on her, for been stupid for claiming she is aiming for Rio, but if that is her genuin goal then lets get behind her and give her our support. Lets face it a women shooting well can't be a bad thing for our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 sounds good to me, all sports are sold at some point on the idea that if you take up _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (insert chosen sport) as a sport you could compete for team GB in the next Olympics, and Mel is giving us some real good media attention in saying what shes hopes she could represent GB at Rio, how many other young shooters will think the same, it's all good PR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
