It Started in the Shed - Hardcover

Dave Walls is a name that stands for success. During his life, Dave has overcome adversity to become one of the leading gun makers in the world. From starting a business from his garden shed, his name now represents the benchmark to all within the shooting industry, of not just engineering innovation but also integrity, determination, humility and self-belief. From humble beginnings to international stardom, this is a self-taught man who has never let any problem or person, stop him from achieving what he set out to attain. He has represented his country many times at international competitions, winning several of these. One of the highlights of his life was meeting the late Queen not just once, but twice. Dave is much revered by the military sniping community. When some snipers said, "Give us the tools and we will do the job," Dave obliged. His designs are still very much in use today around the world, constantly evolving and always delivering on the battlefield. This book is about the real man behind the gun, a man who was not scared to put all his eggs in one basket and succeed. This is not about the pursuit of fame or even fortune, but excellence and self-belief. The results are a testament to a remarkable man and a life very well lived.
