He took up shooting at age 11. He also played football up to age 10, and golf up to age 15. (simonclaussen.blogg.no, 19 Jun 2020)

"When I was 11 years old my friends invited me to try shooting. I was bitten by the shooting bug, even if my friends gave up on the sport. My whole family on my father's side have also been shooters, and I was going hunting since I was five, so I grew up shooting." (kykernel.com, 28 Feb 2018; simonclaussen.blogg.no, 19 Jun 2020)

STUDYING ABROAD
After spending a year studying at the American College of Norway in Moss, Norway, he spent the 2017/18 academic year at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY, United States of America. He says the different approach to sport shooting in the United States of America helped him improve as an athlete. "I came from a different type of philosophy. Here [in the United States of America], the focus is on the mental aspect of shooting, how to concentrate on stuff. But back home, it is just about focusing on the technique and doing the same things over and over again."
