Brad93 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Hi all been a while since I've posted, but I should be back a little more often now (Y) Right well I've got my sgc and I've been having quite a bit of fun out on clays and at my shoot through the winter. However I've just love going out with the air rifle which really makes me want to get a .22LR or preferably a .17HMR to get the extra range and dynamics rimfires offer. However I've never shot a rifle and only know one local person who does although their very busy and I doubt would be able to give me any tutoring at the minute. I've read all about safe backstops, safety, reloading etc on here so just need to get out and do some practical really. Therefore does anyone know of any gun clubs around south Essex that wouldn't mind me going along and learning a bit before I find someone who could maybe take me under their wing?

ste eibar Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 You seem to be going down the sensible route by trying to get some experience first. There is a few shooter's from essex on here, one of them might offer to help with a bit luck. If i was you i'd put in for .22 and .17 I put in for fac air and .17 and now want .22 good luck with getting started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) There are lots of Essex boys on here and I am sure one of them will be able to help you out . I think they are all a little bit gay and like to stick together . I think the old matriarch among them is called nunler , lunger , dungler or something like that . Harnser .

I doubt he would be able to help, he is to busy looking for WWII bunkers! :lol: On a serious note, you seem to be thinking in a very logical and responsible way by trying to get some experience before applying - I raise my hat to you! If you have permissions already then I doubt it will be long before you get an offer or two from members on here to help you out! Good luck with your quest mate!

Brad93 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well I've got two nice permissions that could be viable to be cleared (a nice valley crawling with rabbits) and a horse paddock about 4 acres on size that is far away from roads, footpaths etc with nice backstops. J would however have to get it in writing that I have permission ti shoot as it's all verbal ATM I'm always in the lookout for more permissions and I need to get knocking at some local farms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
