Schiller, who is about 15 years younger than any other inductee, has again qualified to represent NSW at next year’s National Championships, however, he has his sights set beyond that, with hopes of representing Australia at the next summer Olympics.
Schiller said it’s his next goal.
“I have been shooting for over ten years, I started back in August of 2008. It’s definitely an ambition of mine, shooting is definitely my sport.
“The Olympics is a completely different discipline to the World Championships, but it’s probably the next goal I’d like to set for myself.”
