Welcome To My Team

Chip Smith

Veteran Sportrap World Champion 2021

I met Chip at Bisley Shooting Ground over 15 years ago. His patient and somewhat sarcastic, yet straightforward approach appealed to me, and my coach and mentor soon became friends.

After I left Bisley, Chip soon followed, bringing with him an enormous amount of experience in both coaching and shooting. I always remind him he has been shooting longer than I have been born. He hates me mentioning that!!! Over time, Chip has earned numerous caps for both the England and Great Britain FITASC Shooting teams, and has more team Gold medals than I could ever have imagined.

The overriding passion for success in his professional shooting transfers to his coaching. He puts 100% into every lesson to encourage and help shooters improve and shoot to their very best. We often both work together with shooters and try different techniques and ideas, as you never stop learning.

As my coach, I would not have succeeded both personally and professionally without his help, and I have always maintained that trying to train a hormonal female coach who knows it all is one of his most challenging tasks he has ever faced.

Guy Peacock

I was introduced to Guy at Bisley Shooting Ground over 10 years ago, where we worked brilliantly together and became good friends.

On leaving Bisley, Guy's help and support have been invaluable, from helping me with my GBS cartridges and dealing directly with manufacturers to arranging delivery and storage. All those cartridges he moves for me, I'm surprised he does not look like Popeye!

Guy then proceeded to take on the organisation of our team, equipment and activities at Pennyhill Park and Spa in Bagshot. This part of the business has now finished, but what we learnt as a team and business over the years was invaluable.

Guy also helps me run Poets Day and Mainstone Masters, well, actually, he runs it without me! Joins in with the coaching at our Simulated Game Days and much, much more. To run a team that you can rely on, one that never lets you down and is always there to help, is what makes GBS what it is. Without Guy, we would not be the same.

Peter Saich

I met Peter many moons ago, and he introduced me to Skeet shooting, which I loved. Peter is an experienced clay and game shooter, having been taught to shoot by his father over 40 years ago.

 He progressed from shooting vermin around the farm to competing at local clay shoots, where he won his first ‘senior’ trophy at the age of 15.  Since that time, he has been involved with all aspects of the sport and is qualified as both a safety officer and referee.  He passed the CPSA Club Coaches course in 1982 and gained the Advanced Level Sporting coaching qualification in 1998.

 Peter began coaching the members of his local Club as a hobby, which led to him working for several established Shooting Schools as a professional shooting instructor, including Bisley Shooting Ground, the National Clay Shooting Centre, and 15 years at Lower Lodge Shooting Ground in Sussex.  Peter is happy to provide lessons for all abilities, from introductory lessons for novices to refresher and problem-solving lessons for game and clay shots of all ages.

 Additionally, Peter has provided instruction on shooting for both novice and experienced game shooters. He is a Member of the National Association of Sports Coaches.

Peter is the President of Guildford and District Gun Club and a Director of the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association.
