About Lou Vetere and the Academy created in his name.

We lost Lou in March 2019, but during his time as our instructor, his passion for airguns was passed on to many adults and children. 

His patience, attitude and inclusive methods were welcomed by all that he taught and it is with this legacy that the Academy has been formed and will continue.

As part of LVSA and operated by Lea Valley Airgun Club, the Academy home is :
