Henry Watson

From 'plinking' at tin cans with a .22 air gun on the seashore at the age of 10, full bore rifle in his mid-teens, with diversions into semi-automatic small arms, 4.5 inch guns, and a variety of missiles as a Naval Warfare Officer in his 20s, 30s and 40s, Henry has maintained an interest in accurate shooting throughout his school (Glasgow Academy), university (St. Andrews), and Armed Forces careers, and has concentrated on target rifle shooting and coaching skills now that he is a masseur and sports therapist in Guildford (conveniently close to the splendid ranges at Bisley).

Henry has represented Scotland on an occasional basis since 1968 and has very much enjoyed team tours to Jersey, Australia (twice), and Canada. He is looking forward to the California tour being even bigger and better in all respects.

Very appreciative of the finer things in life, Henry has prudently curbed his appetites for beer, fine wine and good food since coronary artery by-pass surgery in 2007; he now revels in the company of his friends, maintains an interest in malt whisky and enjoys travel and a very wide variety of music. Alas, his team colleagues seldom acknowledge his noise-making efforts on the Great Highland Bagpipe as being "music".
