Southern Hunters Round 4 M.A.D

Gary Chillingworth reports on the recent Essex M.A.D shoot

- Gary Chillingworth

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’.
