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

Hello you lot...

Only discovered this forum yesterday, it looks like a winner so thought I'd better join and lower the tone (only joking - I hope)!

I'm based on the Surrey/West Sussex border and have been shooting on and off for around 25 years. Took a long 'rest' after the pistol ban and only reapplied for my ticket in about 2004 when I discovered the wonders of black powder pistols. Since then I've got back into full bore rifle, mostly 'historic' stuff - service rifle etc. but also the occasional McQueen comp, with a bit of TR thrown in - which I have to say I'm bl**dy useless at! Had a go at mini-rifle last year, great fun but just didn't have the time to keep it up. Also do a bit of bunny-bashing when the mood takes me (or the freezer's empty).

Cheers!

Doz, a warm welcome to the forum.

it is really nice to see that you have posted. Quite a few sign up but never post.

Hope you enjoy the banter!

Welcome Doz, nice to see another McQueen shooter here

I assume Bisley is your 'local' then?

Thanks for the welcomes! I do show my face at Bisley very occasionally but mostly I shoot the rifles at Dorking and the blackpowder at Lingfield and Dormansland RC.

Hello Doz...and welcome to the forum...all tastes are catered for...hunters, paper punchers, clay bashers and the odd case of blagging...some sections have a public health warning so beware...we're a good natured bunch really.

:lol:

Doz,

Welcome and if you can lower the tone any more than it is you'll fit in nicely :lol:

Hi Doz

Welcome aboard.

Nice to welcome another Southerner.
Welcome aboard.

Hello Doz

How are things at Boar Hill these days ? Changed a bit since I was a regular I should think.
