Hi All

#1 Post by bigfathairybiker »

Hi to everyone,

I'm Mark from Cambridge and have just ( since jan ) started on the road to FAC.

Interested in just about everything from Target to BP.

I've been asked loads of times at the local club what I'll be getting when I apply for the FAC, but
there are far too many choices so I'll probably just start with whatever comes my way.

Currently spend a lot of time target shooting with .177 Air but Clay shooting appears to be getting more and more fun.

If I had a choice of four firearms to have these would be:

7.62x54R Mosin Nagant Carbine
Any cal BP Revolver
Any cal BP Rifle or maybe a real Martini Henry with homeloaded cartridges.
38 Underlever - ridiculously fun when speed shooting plates.

I also prefer standing rather than bench or prone.

My biggest wish is to get to shoot a 50BMG on a 1000 yard+ range.

Mark
