This week’s Women Wednesday 🔫
Let me introduce you to Gemma, Gemma has been involved in the shooting industry her entire life, getting her first gun at the age of 14. She was born into the industry, with her father being a gamekeeper on their family shoot. Gemma considers herself lucky to have grown up in this environment, learning firsthand about shooting. After studying at Sparsholt College, she became a gamekeeper herself.
Currently, Gemma predominantly shoots game and pigeons, and also enjoys shooting clays for fun and to keep her skills sharp out of season. She uses her 12 bore Beretta 686 special for these activities, as well as her Howa .243 rifle for vermin and deer control.
As a female shooter, Gemma has faced the challenge of proving herself in a male-dominated industry. However, she believes she is making progress in earning her place.
While Gemma doesn’t have anything specific she would change about the sport, she would like to see more young people getting involved in shooting. She believes it’s a valuable skill and an enjoyable pastime that more of the younger generation should experience.
Thank you so much @gemma.latham3 for sharing your lovely journey.
