Born and raised in Quimper, France (on the West coast), Eric still resides there when he is not traveling the world competing.

Because all shooters are highly skilled, any edge one of the top competitors can get through physical training is very important.

In addition to several practice sessions, Eric also spends several hours reloading each day.

Grauffel says reloading his own ammo is much more cost-efficient and many competitors do this because it allows them to personally control everything about their ammunition.
