Excellent, but WTF is a 'veeble'?

Is it an Irish word, or German for one of these:

"veebles vobble but zey don't vall down".

...and good luck for the Palmer squad!

What a great article!

So good to see someone work their way up from helping with the scoreboard as a child (famous quote - "get V bulls as they are easier to write than 4s and 5s") to competing in the Commonwealth Games at 21.

Well done Jack!

Make sure you take a bottle of Bushmills, then 'accidentally' leave it next to his kit bag. Being a 21 year old he won't be able to resist it.

I don't think Jack will be the youngest shooter at the games. We have an English shooter who is younger.

Hopefully she will be there as well.
