A Paralympic legend added a European silver medal to his collection.
Whittlesey Rifle Club president Matt Skelhon scooped the silver at the WSPS European Championships in Osijek, Croatia, on October 6.
Competing in the precision-based R3 10m Air Rifle Prone event, Matt fought through a challenging qualification and final to claim the medal.
He was pleased with his performance and the resulting silver in his first major contest since the Paris Paralympics.
However, the R6 50m Prone Rifle event did not yield a medal for Matt, with colder than expected conditions likely affecting scores.
Club chairman David Ransome said: "Seventeen years at the elite level, five Paralympics behind him and a sixth ahead is a superhuman achievement.
"This silver is a powerful reminder that Matt is still right at the top of his sport.
"A European Major silver represents amazing consistency and a real inspiration for our club competitors and volunteers."
