GB Match Rifle Team to Australia 2016 | Page 15

Meet the Team www.GBMRT2016.org.uk Rosanne Furniss Having tried smallbore a few times at school, Rosanne really started shooting in 2005 whilst at Cambridge University, with the intention of taking up a sport where her lack of ability to throw, run or catch would not hold her back. It worked, and she went on to captain the Cambridge University Small Bore Club, and was twice Match Rifle Captain for the fullbore club, winning every Varsity match over her 4 years in the club. Shooting highlights include representing England twice in the Elcho and once as reserve, becoming the first lady to shoot the Elcho for England since it began. She scored 100.13 at 1200 yards whilst shooting against Australia in Cambridge in 2012, and hopes this luck will follow her to Tasmania, where this will be Rosanne’s first shooting tour. Outside shooting, Rosanne works on improving operational performance in the NHS and defence \
