Hi from North Devon

Hi, I'm Martin from North Devon on the edge of exmoor. I've just been granted my FAC with .22 Air rifle (S410 HP .22 just purchased), .22RF and .22-250. Ive been shooting English skeet fir about 5 years as I lived near bisley, but since moving to Devon theres not much scope for that :(

I've been out on a couple of commercial pheasant shoots last season which was fun, but expensive- now looking to thin out the vermin a bit on my farm and gain some experience with my mentor on his land (my first permission). There are plenty of farms around so hoping to get involved in some rabbiting, pigeon shooting and fox as the opportunity arises, maybe even take up the offer of some wildfowl in the autumn.

Currently I'm researching scopes and diy night vision, so hopefully can find some help here.

Other than shooting I enjoy fly fishing, walking and mountaineering.

I often travel to the US (Texas) for work and have wondered for a while how hard it would be to bring a gun back, they are so much cheaper over there!!
