John Lindsay

John began his shooting career in earnest after going up to Cambridge University where he discovered the joys of target rifle and supine match rifle shooting, and tolerated the “training aid” of small-bore.

During his time at Cambridge, John earned a Full Blue and represented the University four times in the Chancellors’ Target Rifle varsity match against Oxford, the team achieving a convincing victory on each occasion. John has shot for Essex since 2007 and has also been fortunate enough to shoot for England twice in the National Match, both in 2012 and in 2015, the latter appearance seeing him top score (albeit on count back) with 105.14.

In 2011, John toured with the NRA Team to the Channel Islands and in 2013 he was reserve for the Great Britain Rifle Team to Canada. He is looking forward finally to earning his first cap for Great Britain, shooting in different countries and on different ranges, each with their own unique challenges and idiosyncrasies.

When not on the range, John spends his time pondering the numerous complexities involved with hand loading and tinkering with his vintage Morgan sports car.
