Niall first began shooting in 2006 when he joined the Oratory School and became a member of the cadet rifle team, where he shot indoors with Anschütz .22 and outdoors with the cadet GP, cadet target rifle and 12 gauge shotgun (with the Oratory Clay Club). In his final year he shot with the UK Cadet long range team and he has also represented West of Scotland. He is also a founding member of the Oratory Cardinals Rifle Club.
Niall loves the outdoors, participating in all sorts of activities such as sailing, rugby, hiking, climbing, abseiling, canoeing, kayaking, skiing and snowboarding (which he hopes to do at Lake Tahoe while on tour, having done a season in Austria as a ski instructor.
Niall also play the bagpipes which he will be taking to California with him (to Hamish's and Henry's relief). Soon after the tour, Niall will be looking to join the forces, specifically the Royal Marines where he hopes to fit right in.
