Terry Bobbett

National Director & Chairman

Originating from Somerset I now live in North Wiltshire with my wife Sue, Saxon the Lab and Cassie the Border Collie. An Operations Manager for an American company I spend my working day advising franchisees on various aspects of running their business profitably. I enjoy motor sport as a spectator but my first love is all things connected with shooting.

Initially a target rifle shooter I decided to take up clay shooting in the mid nineteen seventies. A member of Northampton Gun Club I concentrated originally on English and NSSA Skeet. I moved back to the West Country in 1980 and decided to concentrate on trap shooting, firstly ABT and then OT and UT. Latterly I have also started to shoot some English Sporting. I have been a member of the CPSA continuously since 1976 and became a Life Member in 2007.

I served on the Avon County and SW Regional Committees in the nineteen eighties and joined the Wiltshire County Committee in 2004, immediately being co-opted on to the SW Regional Committee. In 2005 I was elected Chairman of the SW Regional Committee, a role I retained for five years until deciding to stand down in February 2010 to concentrate on national CPSA matters. I was co-opted on to the Board of Management in April 2007 and first elected Chairman of the Board in March 2008. It is my belief being both a regular participant in registered competitions and actively involved in our association at all levels greatly assists me in addressing the challenges which lie ahead for the CPSA.

I have always believed in running the committees I chair, and now the Board, in an open and transparent manner and am always willing to explain to interested members the thinking behind any decisions made. I hold no pre-conceived views on any matter connected with clay shooting and endeavour to approach each issue with an open mind and decide my position based purely on the facts and what I believe to be in the best interests of my fellow CPSA members and the sport as a whole. I am happy to discuss any matter with members at any time but please not when I am on the layout and about to call Pull!

What is clay shooting?

Clay pigeon shooting is the art of shooting at special flying targets, known as clay pigeons or clay targets, with a shotgun.
