New from Hastings

#1 Post by sclopetum »

Hello Everyone

I have been lurking here soaking up information for quite some time and thought it about time I joined up. Thanks for letting me in :D

I have been involved in shooting of one sort or another for over 40 years. My initial interest was with air rifles as a spotty adolescent, which moved on to clay pigeon shooting in my mid twenties. In the late 1980s I was introduced to pistol shooting and shot Police Pistol and Practical Pistol until handguns were eventually banned. After the handgun ban, and like many others, I moved to gallery rifle and full bore rifle.

I shoot with Magna Gun Club, mainly at Bisley, and 1066 Rifle & Pistol at their indoor range in Hastings for smallbore, and over at Lydd and Hythe for the big stuff. I am also a member of the NRA.

cheers

Graham

Hi Graham .... welcome to FBUK! :good:

I lived in and around Hastings for 6 years, and then I moved up here to Runcorn. Don't ask - I'm still trying to figure it out myself. :oops:

Hi Graham - Welcome aboard. I'm a near neighbour, just down the road in sunny Bexhill. :)

Ha. That's interesting. Didn't realise you were so close. When I was assembling my loading gear I remember seeing one of your trickler videos.
