Greetings from Gatwick...
Hi Everyone!!!
As the subject of this posts suggests I live just outside Gatwick, I'm 25 years old and been shooting airguns since a very early age (target and hunting), used to shoot clays with my uncle some 5 years ago or so although never got the bug for it so gave up pretty quickly. Stumbled across a video on youtube of one of your members shooting at bisley sent him a PM......
Long story short? well I ended up here obviously and got in touch with Heather at the NRA who was more than helpful (thanks Heather), attended Bisley Live on the 30th and had a go with just about everything and can safely say i've been bitten by the bug this time :lol: Just in the process of applying to the NRA/Bisley and look forward to boring you all with my newbie questions for weeks to come and believe me i've got a lot to ask...

Hey Sam, welcome to FB, feel free to ask as many questions as you wish. Given your location Bisley will be ideal and it is probably worth joining the NRA shooting club, membership is free to NRA members and Christel and I will be joining for the new year :goodjob:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: Greetings from Gatwick...
Hi Sam, welcome. Bring on the questions!
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
Re: Greetings from Gatwick...
Hi. I'm new too, although I've been making a pain of myself :lol:
I'm 25 too, so that's good new - the young'uns are taking over. Ask away, bud. What type of shooting are you looking to dive into?
