Southern Hunters Round 4 M.A.D
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that Santa brought you all the gifts that you could ever have wanted. I think I must have been on his ‘good’ list (Lord knows why) and he brought me a new Anschutz 110 shooting glove. My current one is so old and smelly that it was about to be classed as a weapon of mass destruction because of the amount of bacteria in it.

For the Chillingworths the festive season was ‘interesting’. Like a fool, I fell on the stairs and cracked my sternum, bruised a lung, busted a few ribs and was laid up for the duration. Obviously, shooting had to take a back seat, but my ribs began to mend and my trigger finger became itchier than an itchy thing on its way to a dog hair convention. So, I climbed from my sick bed, grabbed my springer – a very stupid choice for someone with a rib issue – and headed toward Maldon and District for my first shoot in two months, and round 4 of the Air Arms sponsored ‘Southern Hunters’.

HOME TURF

Maldon is my home club and, in my opinion, it is the finest shooting club in the country; it has just under five acres of land, with a plinking range out to 70 yards, a covered plinking hut, a pistol range, a permanent practice course and a reputation for putting out courses that are equal to anything you could find at a National or the World Championships. M.A.D has had a fearsome reputation over the years for winning more titles then any other club and this is down to the membership that believes in helping each other and making everyone the best they can be.
