Talent Pool 2018

A huge congratulations to our 2018 Talent Pool winner Sammy Halsey!

Sammy, 29 is an events planner from Buckinghamshire with a passion for shooting that only began two years ago. She has previously shot with the Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club and the Femme Fatales, and set her sights on Talent Pool after discovering a natural talent for the sport. She is already an accomplished horse woman and hopes to have the same success in the world of shooting.
