Wes Reed represents IoM on international stage
A Manx athlete is hoping shooting will receive further financial assistance in future to help local competitors excel.
Wes Reed has been representing the Isle of Man - on the national and international stage - in the sport for the last two years.
He says the cost of taking part in competitions - including travel, accommodation and equipment - has run into thousands of pounds.
Alongside fellow Manx competitor Kathryn Holden he recently represented the Island at the GB Junior International.
Wes - who has aspirations to compete in the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games in future - is hoping sponsorship could be an option in future:
