This trip marked another important step in my journey toward LA 2028, and a chance to compete alongside and against some of the best shooters in the world.
Intershoot 2026 — The Hague, Netherlands
I flew into Amsterdam with my teammate Stuart Burns, and from there we made our way to The Hague for Intershoot — a three-day international competition in South Holland.
Competing across three match days is always a test of consistency, focus, and mental endurance. Each day presents a new challenge — resetting, recalibrating, and showing up ready to execute.
I’m proud to share that we came away with 🥉 Team Bronze alongside Stuart Burns and Michele Esercitato.
Standing on the podium at an international event is always meaningful — not just for the result, but for what it represents: preparation, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure.
The Journey to Denmark... Not According to Plan
After Intershoot, Stuart and I continued on to Denmark for the next leg of the trip.
What was supposed to be a straightforward train ride quickly turned into an unexpected adventure — we missed our train to Copenhagen by about 60 seconds.
Instead, we pivoted and took a bus… which turned into a 13-hour journey across multiple countries, including a stop in Hamburg, Germany — where we had Uber Eats deliver schnitzel to the bus depot.
Not exactly the plan — but part of the experience.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Visiting the Carlsberg Brewery
Denmark Open 2026 — Vildbjerg
After a few days in Copenhagen, we rented a car and drove out to Vildbjerg for the Denmark Open.
This competition didn’t include a team event, but it was another strong opportunity to compete internationally and continue building consistency.
One of the highlights for me was finishing:
🔟 10th place on one of the competition days
A solid result in a strong international field — and a reminder that progress is happening, one step at a time.
The Bigger Picture
The trip wrapped with a long journey home — Copenhagen → Frankfurt → Calgary → Vancouver — and finally back to the Sunshine Coast.
Long travel, long competition days, and a lot of time in between to reflect.
These trips are about more than just results. They’re about:
- sharpening focus
- learning from every match
- identifying where the next gains are
- continuing to build toward something bigger
The direction is clear — and the work continues.
What’s Next - Upcoming competitions on the calendar:
- 🇨🇦 Canadian Airgun Grand Prix — Cookstown, ON (May 2026)
- 🇨🇦 Canadian National Rifle & Pistol Championships — Saskatoon, SK (August 2026)
A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters:
Your support makes it possible to train, travel, and compete at this level — and I’m incredibly grateful to have you behind me.
