Hi Everyone
im fairly new to shooting, I am a member of the 3rd VB Rifle club Birmingham; currently in my probation. I have some experience of shooting from the Army but have not shot in years until recently. At present I am enjoying a weekly shoot on the indoor 25 & 50 range with a club .22 rifle.
The plan is to apply for FAC in a month or so, and once that's sorted, look to getting something that can shoot some distance; probably in a .308. Until this time I will aim to improve my technique with the .22s.
I can see this as becoming a bit of an obsession.
Cheers

Nick :cheers:

And when you fix it in place remember to leave enough room for the even bigger or additional one you'll need later (and another ammo safe!) :good:

Cheers guys. Have picked myself up a 7 gun cabinet, I'm hoping it'll do for a bit.
Does anyone have any idea how long the FAC process will take??

Thanks again for the welcome, much appreciated

Nick
