It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Ian Shirra-Gibb, who passed away at home yesterday.
Ian was well known to many as a shooter, a coach and as the owner of Tenring Sport Services at Bisley.
A successful international competitor in air rifle and 3 position shooting, he also moved on to coach the NSRA’s GB National Squad and was heavily involved in 300m shooting.
Ian will be sorely missed, and our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
We will post information regarding arrangements as soon as they are available.
