Richard Faulds

Richard Bruce Faulds MBE (born 16 March 1977 in Guildford, Surrey),[1] is a retired English sport shooter, who competed for Great Britain in the 2000 Summer Olympics and won the men's double trap.

His father built him a range on the family farm, but just before finishing third in his first world junior championship, his PE teacher said that his hand–eye co-ordination was very poor.

It was discovered that Faulds suffered from a weak left eye, which was corrected by special dot-to-dot exercises with such good effect that he now shoots left-handed.

[8] At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Faulds came 13th in the double trap event, losing his title to Ahmed Al Maktoum from the United Arab Emirates.

In 2011, Faulds won individual silver and team gold in the double trap at the European Shooting Championships in Serbia.
