About David Phelps
Hi, I am David Phelps. I am a double Commonwealth Champion in men’s 50m prone rifle and am now a full-time shooting coach. I have competed internationally in prone rifle and 3-position rifle, having started my shooting journey as a junior air rifle competitor. I have been back-to-back Earl Roberts British long-range Champion and successfully coached the British Roberts team to a win in 2025. Over a long competitive career, I have learned what it takes to perform under pressure at the highest level — and now I help shooters of every abilities to do the same.
My coaching is built on process. Technique, position, planning and equipment all matter, but the shooters who succeed are the ones who can trust their process when it counts. Whether you train remotely, One2One at your home range, or as part of a club squad, my job is to give you the feedback, training drills and plan to keep you improving.
I coach UK-wide and am happy to travel to athletes rather than working from a fixed range. If you're serious about getting better - from grassroots to performance level - get in touch and let's talk about how I can help you succeed.
