“It went fairly well. My heart was in my mouth a little bit. I started pretty well but I was really emotional - I don’t know if it was because my family were out there. It feels like I’ve won the Paralympics and I’ve only won my first match. But here’s to the rest of it, we’ll put on a good show.
On his family watching:
“My wife and son are here, as well as my sister, brother, mother and father. I cried a little bit and I was like oh no if I start crying it’ll affect my shooting.”
On the bad weather:
“We excel in shooting in the rain. It’s our weather. If it’s like this for the rest of the week I’ll be laughing.”
