KINGSTEIGNTON paralympian Adrian Bunclark has been described as an 'inspiration'.

The 48-year-old pistol shooter, known as Bunny, was selected as one of only 12 members of the Team GB shooting squad.

And he was the only team member chosen to compete in the 10m air pistol event, held at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich.

He took up the sport only in 2006 when his wife Jane gave him a shooting lesson as a present.

Instructors soon spotted his natural talents and since then he has gone on to national and international success, winning gold in the 2007 British Championships at Bisley, also in the air pistol event, which was his first major competition.
