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

Hi Everyone,

New to the board and looking to get into the sport moving up from sub 12ft/lb air rifles (which is ok but not quite the same).

I Have earlier life experience (ACF) of shooting full bore and .22 LR indoors.

I am quite into military style rifles (and other gear for that matter) and have been looking at joining a local club to gain my FAC and then purchase a suitable rifle and take up some of the less target focused disciplines.

I have looked at Yorkshire Shooting club (Mirfield) and Diggle (which are quite close to me).

Diggle I think does more of what I am looking for (tactical) etc

Any help advice would be appreciated.

TIA

Graham

Huddersfield, then Diggle 'tis but a cock stride away.

Oh I might add that I'm a Design Engineer (everything from Medical devices to Tanks!) and quite like to tinker with and build things.

I've applied to Diggle via email so I'll have to see what happens there.

Welcome to the forum graham, you've got a decent gun shop in Hudds and some good ranges nearby, great start :-)

I don't read my own signature!

The secretary Vince Bottomley goes by the username of Gunpimp on here.

Hi Graham, welcome to FB

Do join in all the debates

Yes, Kirklees Guns is great and very friendly.

In fact it's that place and the Lee Enfield's that rekindled my interest and has spurred me on to do something about it (that and approaching 40!!)

Thanks for the welcomes / info and tips so far.

I just need to join a club and then get my FAC asap.

Regards

Graham

Welcome to the forum Graham, have you started on your gun list yet? I tend to have around a dozen or so rifles in the 'virtual' cabinet at any one time.

Remember, you must find room for an SMLE somewhere along the line

Hi Graham

Welcome aboard, Diggle would be a good bet :goodjob: As you say they do most things up there :cheers:
