New member from the North East

#1 Post by BlackburnBuccaneer »

Hello,
I am 20 and currently at university in Aberdeen. I have been shooting Smallbore target rifle for about eight years now, but I have always had a hankering for something a bit more stout. I have shot various centerfire sporting and military rifles before but have only recently been looking at Fullbore target rifle as I am now the Fullbore Captain of Aberdeen Universities Rifle Club, and am looking at getting the club back to competing in Fullbore after a hiatus of several years. I will no doubt have many questions in the upcoming months before our first Scottish Universities competition in May.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the captaincy of the AURC. I did Google the club out of curiosity and was rather impressed by the photographs of the committee members.
