Hi I've just started going to my local hole punching club with my outlaw (father in law)
I'm bewildered by the many 22lr rifle available on Gun Porn. I know a fair amount about shotguns but some of the rifle/ target terminology I've had to Google a few times and look at a few YouTube videos.
The club has been really helpful and is lending me a Anschutz with iron sights and jacket although we've not setup the jacket yet just spent a session getting the sights sorted.
I shot a card for the first time with 3 10 shots. So I'm happy with that.

Welcome and well done Haggis. I would think a lot of us will relate to getting to grips with prone .22 with aperture sight/sling shooting. A bit like an apprenticeship really, really great way to learn the basics that will serve you well what ever direction your shooting takes you.

That's one more of us, and one less of them!
