    John Mallows: Recoiling Champion.
    John is a familiar face at the club and on the circuit-he always makes time for a friendly chat and can often be found playing with his latest "project" on the zero range
    What makes John's (deserved) win more remarkable, is he has recently undergone a major surgical procedure and was doubtful for Kelmarsh.

    Well done lad's, you have made your club proud

    Thanks Graham, I'm very proud to be a member of SAGC too, and shooting hard courses at Shepreth really helps when you get to shoot the big comps
    You're right about 'Projects' I had the TX200 I used in the World's in pieces on Wednesday last week as the barrel nut had come loose, as springers tend to rattle things about over time.

    Thanks Nick, the TX suits me quite well and I'm going to give it a present for being so good - a nice re-blueing and service by Steve Pope, while I make a few tweaks to the stock, I know, I know, but I can't resist it

    Congrats to all the other Class winners too, Simon, Rachel and Ben and all the placings as well. It was a brilliant weekend and finally big congrats to Kieran on winning the big one

    Cheers

    John

    Yeah well done John.

    I think I spoke to you on the zero range just before the second round.

    Well done to the other Recoil placings as well. I was sort of in with a shout in 3rd place after the 1st day and then decided to shoot blindfolded on day 2.

    Lots more practice required.

    Hopefully see you at some of the other events.

    Well done John mate, well deserved and a very decent points total with a twanger.

    I've known John since I began shooting springers competitively and he has always been there with some knowledge or advice when I have needed it.


    Top shooting buddy
