OH BOY MEETING NEW PEOPLE
Hello all! Allow me to break the ice:
I'm so sorry.
So yeah, I stumbled across the Full Bore UK website whilst searching for information regarding Target (and Practical) Shooting Clubs in the South West - my old stomping-ground, to which I've just returned after three years at University in North Wales.
I joined the Bangor Rifle & Pistol Club whilst at University - largely out of curiosity (as I had never been shooting before). Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the sport (and win some fancy wine in the Christmas rifle competition!), but I also felt at home within the community - all of whom were incredibly patient and helpful.
Eventually, I had to leave, as University got pretty intense (apparently, they expect you do to actual work for your student loans!), and I had to cut back on the spending and find some work to see me through the rest of my time there (though, rest assured, I kept my eye in with a spot of air pistol and crossbow plinking, in the meantime!)
Now I've graduated, moved back to Bristol, and nabbed myself a job, I'd very much like to get back into the sport! So, hello all!

Bangor eh?
Step-daughter has been studying there a few years & working in a few bars too.
Not shot at the tunnel range since a PR Open shoot in 2000.
Should go back as she lives on the road the club is on.

Quite a few people from Brizzle regularly shoot at Shield (Dorset). Great bunch of guys, and some great practical comps... was there last weekend. Wish it was closer to me!
