Hello All.
I started shooting many years ago. I have owned and used all kinds of Guns, weapons, but never owned an Fac pistol. Used, Shot Guns, 12g, 16g & 410. Rifles .22 .270, Air Guns, Long & Cross Bows. I grow up on a farm. Then moved to London. I keep up shooting on a range in Essex. The members shot all kinds of stuff. Small bore up to large Black Powder muskets. Even a 4 Bore punt gun. I had an old BP carbines .577 and a shoot gun 14g. Stopped full time shooting about twenty years ago. Then, a few years back, I was given four air guns, I also took up a bush craft course. A bit like going back to my teens and that kicked it all of again. I have a degree in conservation, forestry and land management. Also been doing a lot of home work. Ballistic V short barrels, home loading and visiting most of the game fairs around the country. I am training in pest control and Dsc1 later this year.

Hi and welcome

The same as you. I am starting there part time course. Then take on other sections later. I have some more projects to do later this summer, these relate to my Bio mass tree harvesting project. Developing sustainable resources.
