So Basingstoke may be a crap town but at least its only half an hour from Bisley :-)

I started .22 shooting when I was 11 and now shoot in the Hampshire County XX. My fullbore dabblings started a few years later with the CCF and I now shoot a Musgrave action in a laminated stock for Northants, Leics & Rutland.

I'm currently investing in some reloading gear and learning the ropes to try and make practicing actually affordable again.

Welcome to the forum, lucky you living that close to Bisley!

Hope you join in

Very lucky being so close to Bisley, however not so lucky to be living in Basingstoke - you can't win them all!

Can't be that bad, you do have the (apologies - non-shooting reference coming up, look away now) Austin Ten Club national rally this year!

Welcome, almost neighbour,

There will soon be enough of us 'locals' to have a party!

:cheers:

Twice in my life I have gone to buy an Austin Seven and twice the woman I had with me pulled a face and said no way. I divorced the first one.

An expensive habit you have there.

Is there not a small bore club somewhere near Basingrad?

There is a Basingstoke RC which is actually a little outside of Basingstoke.

Currently I'm still shooting with Southampton University where I graduated from 4 years ago. Helps to have a couple of old hands around to keep everything legal and ticking over smoothly.
