Brendan Heatley

About him

Brendan hails from Belfast, Northern Ireland and is a relative newcomer to full-bore target rifle shooting. He started by joining Comber Rifle club in 2007, but it was not until 2012 when he relocated to Surrey, England, that he began really focusing and dedicating time to the sport. Away from the range, Brendan is a freelance design manager and is currently involved with the new Rolls Royce facility in Bognor Regis. His main interests in addition to shooting are rugby, being an avid Ireland and London Irish fan, and he also collects vintage chronograph watches.

Shooting experience

He currently shoots for the Irish Rifle Club and the LMRA and can be found at a range in Bisley Camp most weekends, either in competition or just getting in some practice. He was a reserve for Ireland for the 2014 National Match and subsequently won his first cap with the second highest Irish score in the 2014 European Long Range Championships.

What he's hoping to achieve on this tour

This will be Brendan’s first tour, so he is looking forward to travelling with the team and gaining some further team competition experience.
