Dan is a lifelong shooting enthusiast. From as long as he can remember he was helping out the local Gun Club at Fox drives. At 16 he got his first Gun, and he has always been involved in all aspects of shooting and gun club activity since. He is Secretary of his Club, Annagh-Ma-Kerrig Gun Club in Co Monaghan. He is Secretary of Co Monaghan RGC, and he is currently NARGC Chairman.  He has been involved in many conservation initiatives in Co Monaghan and nationally, and he feels it is an area we all have to engage in more. 

When he started shooting over 40 years ago, he did not appreciate fully what he and we all had then. If we could get it back now - to walk across the local fields and raise a few wild birds on most outings.

His great wish is that we get that back.

John has been National Chairman on two occasions and is from Co Carlow. He has been hunting, shooting and fishing all of his life. Represented Ireland in the World Coarse Fishing Championships on 1990 as part of the four man team and 1993 as Team Manager. Worked in the Fieldsports Trade for almost twenty years where his knowledge of firearms and their workings proved invaluable in advising first time hunters on their preferred choice. Served on several committees down through the years with a clear vision to help keeping the NARGC the number one hunting, shooting and conservation association in Ireland. 

Paul Doran has been hunting since he was old enough to follow his father into the field.  He prefers to hunt pheasants with a side by side over a setter. As well as vermin control for his local club he attempts clay pigeon shooting from time to time.

To support his hunting habit he practices as a Chartered Accountant providing Audit, Tax compliance and Advisory services to the SME sector, specialising in New Business Start ups, as well as Revenue and Forensic Audits.

He was elected Hon Treasurer in August 2016 and is currently Treasurer of his local Club and Wexford RGC.
