Top80 2026 done and dusted!
What a weekend! Above anything else, I had so much fun.
Congratulations to all that broke records (both personal and national), those that achieved SANSSU colours and those that made the SANSSU BJI touring team of 2026.
A huge thank you to my coach Lawrence Baird for getting me this far.

Top80 Opening, shooting in and Day 1.
10 day countdown….Time is flying!
Bringing some fun into Friday training.
I have been quiet recently but so much has been going on.
I received an invitation to compete in the SANSSU Top80 in Vryheid in April. Top 80 shots from across the country competing for the selection of the SA touring team of 2026.
Lots of hard work and training to be done in the next month to ensure that I give it my best chance but the excitement is definitely starting.
