Hello from Bisley

Hi everyone, a newbie here. I live in Bisley within hearing distance of the ranges. Pop, Pop, Crack, KaPow is my everyday accompaniment. I'm interested in shooting .308 Imperial and shotgun clays and skeet. I started all this about two years ago but boy oh boy, hasn't Covid intervened horribly.
Anyway in this new year I find myself the proud owner of a Winchester P14 that has actually been used in the Imperial at Bisley. So things are looking up. Hope you are all well and healthy, I look forward to conversing with you on the forum.
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi there Kevin - Bisley on the doorstep, P14..An excellent start. I shot a P14 .303 in my first competition at Bisley (1963 - 900yds)

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, much appreciated.
To Hitchphil and 1066,
I've been trying to find courses and also shooting clubs to educate me in TR shooting. To say the least, the response has been underwhelming which led me to this forum. I figured there must be people somewhere who have had similar problems. I have tried the NRA of which I am a member - nothing. I've tried emailing three clubs of which only the OSM replied and even tried contacting the chap whose contact info is on the NRA TR website, still nothing.
Hmm, maybe it's me?!

I present the TR skills course but mainly for Unis & BYSA- LMRA will run it but they probs want you to be a member but thats no bad thing. No replies is probs becuse of C19, winter etc so ask again, or pm me. Only NRA, LMRA & NLRC run the TR course. OSM dont & Artists send their folks to LMRA I think.
