Mark and Cherie Blake, retired Australian Army sniper and Officer respectively, are
perhaps the most successful husband and wife competitive shooting team on the planet.
Gun Trade World finds out more about this fruitful international partnership and why
they count on Pro-Shot Products.
The relationship Mark and Cherie Blake
have with Pro-Shot Products has
been a long one, and Mark Blake has
depended on the company’s products to keep
him at the top of his game.
“I have had a long relationship with Pro-
Shot Products,” says Mark. “Whilst I was a
sniper in the Australian Army, I purchased
Pro-Shot bronze brushes, jags and stainlesssteel
cleaning rods as their quality was far
superior than the Army issued products.
Since that time, I have used Pro Shot
Products exclusively in all my hunting and
competition firearms. In my opinion you
cannot find better products.”
Using quality cleaning products is crucial
to success at the highest level of competitive
shooting, as Mark explains.
“In our competitive shooting, Action or
Bianchi, you cannot have ‘make up’ shots or
redo’s after a malfunction, so it’s imperative
that our pistols perform for every shot, with
Pro-Shot cleaning products we ensure we
get the reliability needed.
“My range bag always has Pro Shot Zero
Friction lubricant, D-14 Fouling Blaster/
Degreaser, “Bench Rest Quality” bronze
brushes, Spear Tip Jags, Cotton Flannel
Patches and a Premium coated cleaning rod
to ensure our handguns function flawlessly,”
says Mark.
We asked Cherie to pick out some of the
couples’ most notable wins, she commented:
“It’s hard to beat the feeling of winning
a Bianchi Cup, and I’m fortunate to have
won twice (2017, 2019) but also to win a
World Championship (2018) was amazing.
However, this year’s Australian National
Championship, where Mark and I came
first and second was a pretty great feeling,
after such a disrupted couple of COVID
years it’s great to be shooting some good
scores again.
“We are both excited to be selected to
represent Australia at the 2023 Bianchi
Cup, and we can’t wait to get back to the
US and compete against the best of the best
at the Cup.
