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

Hi boys & girls,

I've just moved back to the UK after living in the US for a few years. I would give you a list of everything I shoot but suspect that like many of you, I shoot anything I can get my hands on ! I used to shoot at Bisley and kept my membership whilst away so that will be home for me.

I have had to leave a few toys in the US for trips back there like this one below but its a good excuse to tell the wife I need to buy some more

Your'e just fishing for welcomes!

:roll:

Good job I'm not a moderator you'd be banned for posting gun porn like that sign01 clapclap :shakeshout:

Hello again.

Welcome to the forum again, are you going to concentrate on any particular discipline or opt for the have fun and make noise option

When you suck at shooting as much as I do, having fun and making noise is often the best thing

I haven't really defined 'disciplines' as such because I'm not that familiar with what options there are.

In the US, I mainly shot IDPA handgun and precision rifle matches. I might be mistaken but think the nearest equivalent to this is CSR in the UK for large calibre and gallery rifle for .22 ? Most precision (more tactical) matches in the US employ movememt, barricades, unkown distance, incline/decline or other unusual/unstable positions, steel targets, cold-bore, moving targets and occasionally in teams with spotters and land navigation etc. I can't say I ever won or even came close to winning anything but it is a lot of fun and often involves a weekend of shooting and a good night out. I hope to go back several times a yr to keep it up if i can afford to. I am told WMS Steel Challenge might be a good place to shoot ie not a square range. Is that right ?

One thing I def want to take up is clay pigeon shooting. I only did a little of this in the US but really enjoyed it and can only improve. I did have a look through some websites on practical shotgun (never done that) and believe i need to attend a course but I think i'd like to watch a match or two before making a decision on that. It looks a lot of fun.

Welcome :cheers:

The UKPSA runs the UK IPSC 'chapter' for practical shotgun (PSG), gallery rifle (including Long-barrelled pistols) and mini-rifle competitions, they also organise 'proper' pistol matches in Northern Ireland. PSG matches are also put on by individual clubs and another organisation http://four4islands.org/

If you want any info regarding PSG feel free to drop me a PM or start a thread, i'll witter on about it for as long as you'll stay awake

Interesting to see the flash from the ejector port every so often on the 9mm Mark.
