ANDREW MCKILLOP

CHAIRMAN

Portfolios: President, RTO Training, Marketing and Membership

Club: Pacific Rifle Club

Where did you grow up, and where in Queensland are you based now?

I grew up on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in a town called Maleny. I have moved around a lot and spent a number of years in the Bundaberg region but I am now living in Bellmere – north of Brisbane.

How long have you been involved in the shooting sport? And what triggered you to get involved?

I stated shooting when I was 14. It was on a dairy farm in Maleny where pigeons used to get stuck into the grain so I commenced my shooting journey in a pest management environment. Leaving school I joined the Army and obviously shot a fair bit in that employment. Over the following years I did the odd bit of shooting as recreation more so. In around 2006 I started shooting more on western Qld properties undertaking pest management again, this got me the precision bug. I was exposed to Full Bore in 2013 when I was sighting in a rifle and someone told me about the long range shooting up the road in Bundaberg on Sunday mornings. The very next Sunday morning I was present and the well the rest is history. I was hooked!!

What is it that you are bringing to the sport of shooting in your role as board member?

I have a commercial background so I feel that I am bringing that experience to the Board. Having a passion for the sport is obviously important and being able to give back to the sport that has given me a lot of purpose is very important to me. I recognise the history that the sport has and I see the longevity that shooters can obtain for this sport too. I feel that my presence on the Board is helping to strengthen the sport that others – mostly our new shooters and juniors – might just get that opportunity to enjoy the life long experiences that others have had to.

What do you love most about the sport of shooting?

The inclusive nature of the sport. You compete and interact with everyone and within that interaction you find like minded people that are truly genuine. It allows some very strong friendships to grow, this is what is to be loved about our sport.
