A shooting Pole
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2014 12:03 am
Hello!
I would like to introduce myself.
I live in the thickets of eastern Poland (the land of Poles, not to be confused with the land of Holes which is a completely different land as you all know, renown for its potholed cheese).
I took up shooting (the noisy sort) as a hobby some 7 years ago, untill last year I shot mainly muzzleloaders (including two Parker Hale Enfields).
Last year I got myself a firearms permit and two rifles (a No. 4 MkI* and a Mosin) and some less serious shooting devices ;-).
I'm on he verge of becoming a reloader, the only thing that's stopping me from happily filling up the cases with copious amounts of Czech made powder is the lack of a chrono (on it's way from your favourite colonies ;-) [retired]). Today I got the delivery of funnels, measures, dribblers and sutff - feeling quite happy!
I mainly shoot at our, still being developped, 100 m range. I do not venture out to longer ranges very often, 100 is still enough for me (I hate shooting prone from that distance - it happens though).
Oh, and I was named after saint Andrew, but chosing the nickname I preferred to spare you the attempts at pronouncing 'Andrzej'. I hope you'll apreciate it and don't kick me out and generally tolerate my bloody foreign presence and silly questions about reloading the .303 British ;-).
Cheers
