Ex-pat shooting enthusiast, can't wait to come back home!

Hi all,

My name is Chris, I'm 29 years old and I'm an expatriated Brit. I grew up in Gloucestershire, then moved to Sweden for 5 years, after which I moved to Germany. For various personal reasons in about 3 years time I plan to move back to the UK, and at that time I will be looking to take up sport shooting. I grew up around guns (air rifles and shotguns mostly) and have always enjoyed shooting as a hobby, but never owned a firearm myself. I did get into Airsoft in Sweden in quite a big way, and own a SystemA PTW Airsoft rifle. I'm not sure how Airsoft is considered around here, but I can tell you it is played very differently in Sweden.

Would love to get to know people and find out what my options will be once I return to the UK in terms of getting into sport shooting (3-gun would be nice, but I gather that it's not really possible in the UK).

Any questions?

Servus ,
Gott im Himmel !! I'd rather have a FAC in Germany than in England anyday, if only for the hand-guns... Part of the German toys could also brought back to the UK in 3 years time

NB - those Swedish camo pants are the nuts

Hello and welcome

Froggy's right. Do the pistol shooting while you can in Germany.
Then in three years when you come back to the UK, there's time enough to shoot under our more restricted regime.
