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

Hello everyone

Let me introduce ourselves, if you haven't guessed already, I'm Pete and my lovely wife is called Jane.

I have always had an interest in firearms and shooting, but for some reason channelled all my spare cash into remote control cars, helicopters, and motor bikes, the problem with these activities is, Jane never really enjoyed, or shared my enthusiasm, so I would go off on my own, leaving poor old Jane at home. . .

But ! I mentioned about joining a local shooting club ( Reepham Shooting Centre ) and she was very keen, albeit a little apprehensive.

We went along on a 'taster' day where we were able to try out different calibres and guns, it was such a friendly club that made us very welcome, so we joined !

Since then we have been to Bisley, shooting on the 600yrd and 200yrd ranges, we both loved it

We are now in the process of transforming our spare bedroom into a 'gunroom' complete with bench for reloading and space for our gun cabinet's, as soon as we have a gun cabinet we will apply for our FAC

That's the story so far, just looking for a suitable cabinet now, any advise will be gratefully received

Kind regards

Pete and Jane

Yep that's us ! I think that was beginners luck on the McQueens. . . . . (gutted I dropped two shots. . . )

Jane now says we NEED an Accuracy international AW in our life. . . .

We had such a good time, can't wait until we go again

Welcome to the forum.

Please ask any questions you may have, I am sure someone on here will know something

Thank you.

Could do with some advice shortly on how to apply for an FAC do we get a joint one ? or one each? what calibres do we apply for? how much ammo? do we need a cabinet each?
Where do I post on this forum to ask the above ? (and who's going to pay for it all !!!)

Welcome Pete and Jane

Jane is quite right, you need an Accuracy International somewhere in the cabinet and something old. a sort of Ying and Yang thing. BTW 50.8 is quite respectable., what were you using?

Is Jane going to post and try and even up the male/female ratio on the forum? (That Ying and Yang thing again)

All those newbie questions go in the section called Just Starting sign92

I was using an Accuracy International AW .308

Had a second go using an AR15 .223 and scored 53, I think it was beginners luck, and the fact I was using well set up rifles

Jane will be posting on here as well, in fact she's waving right now. . . . .

Christel flatly refuses to shoot my AI, as far as she is concerned it is a boring rifle. If you want to go for the ultimate boring rifle get an AI chambered in 6,5x47 :goodjob:
