We are sorry to report the death of John Killian, long time NRA member and International TR shot.

He represented his country 30 times in ‘Big 5’ matches

– for England, 7 in the National and 8 in the Mackinnon

– for GB, 5 in the Australia match, 3 in the Palma Match and 7 in the Kolapore (including captaining the winning GB team in 1997). He was also a member of 9 GB team overseas tours.

He made 12 appearances in HM The Queen’s final, including winning the Silver Medal (the 2nd stage) in 1974, and 7 Grand Agg crosses, including the Silver Cross in 1976. He also won a full set (Gold, Silver and Bronze) of St. George’s Crosses.

He was a founder member of the Bisley V Club and having toured Australia 4 times, was a great friend of Australian teams visiting Bisley. He won the NSW Queen’s in 1974 when touring with the GB team, scoring a 50 at the final range.

Our sympathy goes to his family and his many friends.
