Biography

Ron Crumpler recalled; 'My father was an extremely good shot with both rifle and shot gun. He rarely missed. Like all sporting marksmen he shot with both eyes wide open and the range setting on his riffle was never changed. In clay pigeon shooting he was champion gamekeeper of Kent in 1938 and, after the war, champion gamekeeper of the UK. His father, on retiring at 65, became a member of the English team and retained his position, without break, until the age of 70.

This ability ran in the family until it came to me!'
