A Norfolk girl with a talent for pistol shooting is aiming for victory in the finals of the British Shooting School Championships.
Daisy Sexton, 12 and from Billingford near Dereham, first picked up an air pistol aged eight through her pony club’s tetrathlon events, and was instructed in the safety basics by her grandfather Bob Callaby, a former Great Britain rifle shot.
Hoping to improve her score, Daisy was taken under the wing of Mick Gault - Britain’s most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete.
