The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Hello all. I've recently joined Full-bore although I've been shooting for a few years now. In fact going back my shooting started a long time ago - I was a cadet when I was at school and learnt how to shoot with a Lee Enfield .303, and an SA80. I then gave up shooting for a while and took up archery, which I did for about 15 years.

But that's ancient history now. As for my more recent shooting, about 6 years ago I went along to an open day at Bisley, and as a result of that did my probationary membership and assessment. After shooting for a few years with club guns I decided to get an FAC, and bought myself a Ruger 10/22, a .357 Marlin, and .308 Steyr SBS, as I shoot gallery rifle as well as some long range target work. I've recently treated myself to a Dolphin Gun company .338 Lapua magnum (and joined the FCSA so I have somewhere to use it :lol: ). Also got a .45-70 Marlin SBL on order, which should hopefully be with me in the new year.

Looks like a good site here, so looking forward to spending some time on it...

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to FB - I am sure we will cross paths at a FCSA day - I am usually in my forum hoodie (Weather permitting!)
