Tim Jeffery (born April 9, 1996, in Newbury, England) is a British rifle shooter competing in the SH2 classification, meaning he uses a support stand to stabilize his rifle due to upper limb impairment.
Tim took up shooting at age 11 through the Scouts, determined to prove his capability – even using a rifle as long and heavy as he was – and developed into an elite athlete through sheer determination and focus.
