New Member from Portsmouth

#1 Post by WhiskyDelta »

Hi Guys, just signed up to the forums upon a recommendation from a colleague who is an experienced shooter.

I have done a bit of shooting in the states and really enjoyed it, and after many discussions with my work colleague, I decided to venture into taking this up as a hobby.

Based down in Portsmouth, and have already kicked off my registration process with South Hants Rifle and Pistol Club.

So far, mainly interested in full bore/calibre rifles but will no doubt begin in the 22lr realm.

Once I have my probation under my belt and FAC in hand, I am aiming for a AR style 22lr and Lee Enfield no4 mk1 within 2018 and then will be looking into straight pulls and/or bolt action 223 and 308s to follow in 2019 once my proficiency in shooting, maintenance and general gun handling improves. Provided the 'boss' approves of course ;)

Lots to learn, hence being here!

Regards

Whisky

Welcome fellow AR 15 owner (potentially)
Do a search for AR threads so you know what not to say and who not to upset. :D

Thanks all for the welcomes...

Haha... Thanks for the tip Gazza! I will keep that in mind although I hope all AR15 owners are not 'delicate flowers' and can take a noob slip up :D
