OUR TEAM

Jeanette Leivers (Founder & Director)

Jeanette was introduced to the sport in 2010 by her son Daniel (who also runs his own Target Shooting School classes)  an NSRA qualified Club Coach in Air Pistol, Air Rifle, 3P (3 positions), Lightweight Sporting Rifle and Crossbow.  Jeanette is a member of the National Smallbore Rifle Association, National Rifle Association, the British Pistol Club, ESSU, Air Captain at Bookham Rifle Club, and is a member of Surbiton Postal Rifle Club and South East Essex Pistol and Rifle Club. 

"I am absolutely passionate about the sport and getting all ages into the sport whether it is just for fun or to shoot competitively.  I am extremely proud of what we have achieved in the last 6 six years down at grassroots level.  Many of our students have gone on to other disciplines and training with regional squads"  If you haven't quite found that activity you or your child really enjoys why not give it a try?"

Joe De Michele (Director)

Joe started shooting when he was very young, mostly at fairground stalls and was a regular visitor to Portsmouth when the Navy would put hold a show day to encourage recruits.  There he was able to shoot on a .22 LR rifle range, and

later took up clay pigeon shooting as a hobby. Joe joined Bookham Rifle Club (BRC) in 2018 and was hooked.  He is now a member of the National Rifle Association and Chipstead District Rifle Club  and shoots long distance out to

1200 yards on the Bisley camp ranges.

Joe is a member of the National Smallbore Rifle Association (NSRA) and Bookham Rifle Club where he enjoys

shooting competitions.  He is the Lightweight Sporting Rifle Captain at BRC and an NSRA qualified Club Instructor. 

He is passionate about helping all of our students - (and their parents!) and shooters of all ages entering the sport for the first time or returning to it after realising something was missing. 

So don't just sit there ......

Shooting has been a major part of Mal's life since he was introduced to it by his dad in early childhoold, and captaining his university rifle club gave him a springboard into competitive shooting and coaching.  After graduating, he became Head of Shooting at a prestigious UK International school where he coached for 15 years, bringing generations of youngsters into County, Regional and National squads.  Mal started working with TSS in 2017 and set up TSS Kent in 2018.  With NSRA, ISSF, CPSA, MoD and NRA coaching qualifications behind him and 25 years of coaching experience, his aim is to bring shooting to a wider audience and reinstate it as an accepted and welcomed part of community life in Kent.
