Just found this site,from a link on another. I'm in my 40s, just finished 22 years in the Army, the last 6 years in Germany. I got my SGC when I was 13 and my FAC back in 1995. With the FAC I started doing targets only then when I went to Germany I did my Jagdschein (German hunting License). Had a great few years shooting deer , boar etc as well as continuing the target shooting. We were lucky to still be able to possess pistols, so I made the most of it knowing I'd have to get rid of mine (CZ75 SP-01 in 9mm) before returning to the UK. Returned to Northumberland August last year, joined a deer syndicate in the Borders and again continued target shooting up here.

Gruss Gott,

Herzlich Willkommen !
Germany has such lovely ethics to hunting.
I spent lovely years in the French sector fo RFA (Bodensee)
Leaving Germany and loosing the Cz (I shoot a SP-01 Shadow) in one go ... ouch ... I feel for you .

If you get a chance to go to Northumberland (which I cannot recommend highly enough) make sure you to go Chillingham Castle http://www.chillingham-castle.com/

Difficult to describe but privately owned with piles of fascinating junk everywhere. Knew it was going to be a good visit when I had to climb over a Vickers MG to pay to get in.
