How Did Your Clay Shooting Journey Begin?

“My journey with clay shooting started in 1994 when I began working at a local clay shooting ground. However, it wasn’t until 2016 that I bought my first shotgun and truly started my shooting journey. At first, it was just for fun, but by 2018, I started entering small competitions. In 2020, I became fully dedicated to the sport, increasing my training and competing more and more. And here we are today!”

What Makes Clay Shooting Special for You?

“We all love action and reaction, like a kid throwing a rock into the water. In clay shooting, it’s about making the target turn to dust, and that thrill never gets old. But more than that, it’s about the people. Competing has allowed me to make friends all over the world, and sharing the same passion with others is what makes this sport truly special.”

What Are Your Proudest Achievements and Ambitions?

“My proudest achievement so far is becoming the Official clay target shooting brand ambassador for Beretta in the Benelux in 2024, something I never imagined when I first started shooting. Looking ahead, my goal is to become more consistent, improve every day, and introduce more people to this incredible sport by showcasing how exciting and rewarding clay shooting can be.”

Why Is Being a WOCS Ambassador Important to You?

“As a WOCS ambassador, my goal is the same as the others, to help shooters around the world discover hidden gem competitions that would otherwise be hard to find. WOCS makes it easier for people to explore new events and connect with the clay shooting community, and I’m proud to be part of that.”
