University of Liverpool Shooting Team, Catton Hall Shooting Ground, Frodsham (2026)

Luke Butterfill, our President, is a third-year History and Politics student who has been promoted from the esteemed position of Social Secretary. Now at the top of the committee hierarchy, Luke is determined to make this club unstoppable against the clays and a force to be reckoned with in the pub, with the ambitious goal of ensuring this club can rival even the rugby team at the bar.

Despite being famously unorganised — having been known to plan socials approximately half an hour before they were due to begin — Luke has already mastered one of the most important skills of leadership: delegation. His in-tray is miraculously empty, whilst everyone else’s is suspiciously full. With big ambitions for the year ahead, Luke is ready to lead the club to victory… assuming he remembers where he put the plan or who he delegated it to.

Luke’s confidence is unmatched, claiming that on a good day he can hit an impressive 7 out of 100 clays. Fortunately for the rest of us, his leadership is considerably better than his shooting. His favourite club memory is Will Shaw’s catastrophic fall at AU Ball — although we’re sure Will would rather we forgot about that one. Unfortunately for him, Luke is determined to make sure nobody ever does.
If you ever need to find Luke, your best bet is to head to the nearest pub. His hobbies include going to the pub, being at the pub, and drinking at the pub. His drink of choice is a Guinness, although he has one major complaint: warm Guinness. His other two dislikes? Not being at the pub and Will Fyfe. We won’t comment on which of those he dislikes the most.

Luke’s favourite social is the legendary Cheese & Wine Night, proving that despite his questionable organisational skills, he does at least know how to choose a good social.

With Luke at the helm, we’re expecting a year of big ambitions, bigger nights out, and hopefully a few more than 7 clays — all whilst ensuring the club remains unstoppable on the shooting ground and causes plenty of havoc in the pub.

Connor Welsh, our Vice President, has been promoted from his previous role as Treasurer. Having almost managed to bankrupt the club last year, we thought the best way to honour his efforts was to give him a promotion! — whilst making absolutely sure he stays well away from the club finances.

Connor is a third-year Astrophysics student, so naturally he spends his days studying things far beyond his reach — which perhaps explains why he struggles to hit anything in front of him. Having been shooting since 2019, he is one of the club’s longest-standing shots and reckons he can hit a mighty 2 out of 100 clays.

As if studying the stars wasn’t enough to make Connor stand out, his unmistakable ginger hair means he’s pretty difficult to miss on the shooting ground. His ginger hair also comes with the usual advantages: standing out in a crowd, never needing a high-vis jacket, and providing the committee with a reliable source of natural lighting on nights out.

When he’s not looking up at the stars, Connor enjoys the great outdoors, a good trip to the pub, and, most importantly, beating Luke in competitions. His dislikes are somewhat predictable: losing to Luke, being broke, and coursework. We’re beginning to suspect there’s a connection between at least two of those.

Having also taken part in the infamous Wilder Fight Night last year, where he adopted title of “Mr Pair”, Connor is more than ready to take on the very important role of VP as well as any pairs in the sky. He’ll be helping guide the freshers through the club this year and showing them how it’s done — although with a shooting score of 2/100, perhaps they shouldn’t take all his advice. When it comes to drinks, Connor is a man of simple but refined tastes: a good rum.

Here’s to another year of competitions, pub trips, outdoor adventures and, most importantly, keeping Connor as far away from the bank account as possible.

Will Shaw, our Club Secretary, is a fourth-year Veterinary Medicine student who is somehow approaching his seventh year at university. Having joined the club two years ago, Will is now entering his third year with the club and has decided to take on the prestigious role of Club Secretary — having taken the bold step of being demoted from Vice President last year. We can only assume this was either a strategic career move or a very elaborate punishment. Will comes from a long-standing family with generations of aristocratic heritage, a stately home and enough British tradition to keep the family tree looking impressively well established. Clearly, tradition runs deep in the Shaw family — which perhaps explains his commitment to keeping his place firmly within the club’s executive.

Will has been shooting since he was old enough to hold a gun, so shooting has been a significant part of his life for quite some time. He now claims he can hit a suspicious 50 clays on a good day. Whether this is actually true remains a matter for the committee to investigate. As Secretary, Will will answer directly to his glorious leader Luke, who has an impressive ability to discover a fresh delegation of work every time Will manages to clear his inbox. With Luke’s endless backlog of tasks waiting to be passed down the chain of command, Will should have no shortage of admin this year.

Away from the club, Will spends plenty of time on the family farm, where his veterinary training has come in particularly useful. He has a particular fondness for farming and cows, although having previously put his entire arm inside multiple cows, we’re beginning to question whether this is a hobby or simply part of the job.

His favourite social is the legendary Cheese & Wine Night, proving that underneath the Guinness, cows and questionable family history, Will does have an appreciation for the finer things in life. His likes include Guinness, farming and cows; his only known dislike is Labour — apparently even seven years at university hasn’t changed his mind on that one. With two years in the club already under his belt, Will is ready to take on the role properly this year.

Eman Agapakis, our treasurer is a third-year Medicine student who joined the club last year and quickly found himself hooked on everything the club has to offer — from the sport itself to the community, the people, and, of course, the merch.

As the club’s resident “Cheeky Greek”, Eman is confident he can keep the club finances in check — although, given his impressive rounding skills, we’re hoping he doesn’t take the club down the same financial path as Greece did in 2008. He may even manage to make himself a penny or two along the way.

Eman reckons he can hit 50 out of 100 clays — although, in his own words, that number is “questionable.” We’ll see what’s more accurate by the end of the year: the finances or the scorecards

Eman already has plenty of ideas for expanding our range of merch, as well as helping the club continue to grow. His favourite club memory so far is competing at BUCs, where he got to put his shooting to the test against some of the best university teams around.

You’ll often hear Eman before you see him, thanks to his impressive ability to bellow “MATE!” from seemingly anywhere on campus.

When he’s not on the clays, you’ll most likely find Eman downing a few drams of whiskey and with his favourite social is Pizza & Prosecco Night, proving that even our Treasurer knows how to balance the books... and the prosecco.
We’re looking forward to seeing what Eman brings to the committee this year — hopefully plenty of new merch, a healthy bank balance, and maybe a few more than 50 questionable clays!

Will Fyfe, our Captain, is a third-year Medicine student who joined the club last year after a healthy dose of peer pressure from his housemate and has since fully immersed himself in club life.

From coaching freshers to even helping the most seasoned committee members, Will has quickly become a familiar face around the shooting ground and will be a huge asset as we look to become a formidable force on the clays. Having been shooting since he was 15, Will reckons he can hit a respectable 10 out of 100 clays — although, given his coaching responsibilities, we should perhaps expect slightly more.

Will has also earned himself the affectionate title of “the club’s father”, although we’re not entirely sure whether this is because of his wisdom, his willingness to look after everyone, or simply because he’s constantly telling everyone what they should be doing.

Will is also renowned for being incredibly tight with his money. His favourite social is the End of Year Dinner, although this may have something to do with the fact that he didn’t have to pay for it after making a bet with his housemates that he would eat a plate of chilli if they paid for his meal — because apparently eating something that could destroy his taste buds was preferable to spending his own money. His drink of choice is apparently milk... probably because it’s cheap. When he’s not shooting, you’ll most likely find Will in the gym — when he’s not complaining about his bad knee, that is. A regular feature of club life is Will reminding everyone just how much it hurts.

When asked for his three biggest dislikes, Will gave the same answer three times: Luke Butterfill, Luke Butterfill, and Luke Butterfill. The feeling is, of course, entirely mutual... probably.
Will is looking forward to helping the club go from strength to strength this year — whilst hopefully keeping everyone fed, watered, and, most importantly, financially responsible along the way.

Jack, one half of this year’s Social Secretary duo, is a second-year Engineering student who joined the club last year and has fully immersed himself ever since — making his presence known from the moment he walked through the door. Jack was proudly voted the club’s Biggest Lightweight, so if you see him on a night out, we recommend bringing back social distancing. There’s a strong chance he’ll be chundering before the night is over — and, having previously decorated both members and their drinks, we’d advise keeping a safe distance.

His talent for mischief isn’t limited to nights out either. Last year, Jack managed to flood his entire flat after forgetting he’d left the shower running. We’re still not entirely sure how this happened? Despite his questionable ability to hold his drinks and his even more questionable plumbing skills, Jack is looking forward to organising some of the best nights out Liverpool has to offer, bringing back the classic Cheese & Wine Night alongside plenty of exciting new additions to the social calendar. You can often spot Jack around campus, dressed head-to-toe in Ralph Lauren or Schoffel, fully embracing the posh boy aesthetic — but don’t be fooled. When he’s not on the clays, Jack spends every ounce of his free time scouring Vinted for the best bargains, saving every penny he can to fund his true passion: buying more clays.

Jack’s main interests are pints, cooking and cars, and somehow, despite all of the above, he has managed to come up with no dislikes whatsoever. He’s also been described by fellow committee members as “yet to hit puberty”, which seems particularly impressive for a second-year university student but explains his inability to hold his drink. His favourite social was the End of Year Dinner — most likely because he can’t remember a thing about it. His drink of choice is a hoffmeister from the Cholmondeley arms. On the shooting ground, Jack reckons he can hit a respectable 50 out of 100 clays, which seems considerably more impressive than his drinking record. Here’s to another year of questionable decisions, questionable drinking abilities, and hopefully some unforgettable socials!

17/08/2026

Scarlett is a fourth-year Veterinary Medicine student who joined the club last year and has been making her mark ever since.

Scarlett is the proud holder of the club’s Worst Driver Award — a prestigious title earned through her unique ability to turn even the shortest journey into a near-death experience. Luckily for the rest of us, she’s now based at Leahurst campus for the next two years, so Main Campus can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

If you’ve ever bumped into Scarlett in the pub after just a couple of bottles of wine, you’ll know she’s never one to shy away from making memories... or embarrassing herself in spectacular fashion. Hopefully, she’ll be much better at running our social media than she is at making sensible decisions after last orders.

On the clays, Scarlett reckons she can hit a mighty 5 out of 100 — although, given her driving record, we’re just relieved she’s better at aiming a shotgun than she is at steering a car.

Don’t let the driving or pub stories fool you, though — Scarlett is one of the most organised people you’ll meet. She’s already got big plans for the year ahead, including the return of the fan-favourite Midnight Game Show, exciting new fundraising ideas, and plenty more to keep the club busy. As the only girl on committee, she’ll also have the small task of keeping the boys in line... somehow.

When it comes to socials, Scarlett’s drinks of choice are a Hugo Spritz or a West Coast Cooler — so if you see her at the bar or Kelly’s, make sure you buy her one. That way, she’ll have no option but to stay off the road and keep everyone safe.

Away from the shooting ground, you’ll usually find Scarlett with her horses or cows, embracing her farming roots — or, for everyone’s safety, hopefully sitting firmly in the passenger seat.
