Rizzini Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Went for a little shooting with my mentor yesterday so he can teach me a bit on safety and handling a rifle. Really god fun. We shot with a CZ 511 which was bloody accurate using Winchester Subs. We were shooting balloons we had wedges it the lower part of the fence and were shooting them from the tree and from free hand. I shot the smallest ballon which was about 3inches in width from about 80 yards, and it was really good fun. Cant wait to get a .22 of my own soon. :victory: Few pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully going to get a CZ 452 STYLE. Yes, he's a very good mate. He keeps deer on the land and people come and shoot them, going out one night this week with him and his .222 Tikka M585 after a few fox's so hopefully that will be good.

The FEO did say you want need anything bigger for now. Cheers, will out up a pick if we get one. That is true, get some experience of going out on your own, thinking of backstops, ranges, wind ect and then get a centrefire after a few years, he turned me down for a .243 because it was my first application, been shooting rimfires for 10 years and a .308 for 6 years, but he said go out out on your own for a year and then ill let you have the centrefire this time next year, so happy days, picking up my .17hmr on Thursday!! Cant wait, you now have the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think it's great to see that some responsible adults are putting their time into training youngsters in safe gun handling and responsible shooting, I would like to see a lot more of this. To the youngsters - Life is a constant learning curve, well done on taking the right way to start out on that long learning curve, it will stand you in very good stead later!
