Griff- Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Evening chaps (and chapesses), Just a quick intro from me. I've been a bit of a lurker on here over the last couple of months, lots of great info which has helped no end. So I thought it worth actually getting myself on here properly. Back in October last year I decided to have a crack at clay pigeon shooting, my shooting history has just been .22 air rifles and the Cadet L98A1 (I think, a few years ago now!). Anywho after my 50 clays & carts I left with the biggest grin on my face, so I decided I had no more like had to have more, a couple of weeks later and 75 clays & carts distributed into the Hampshire countryside I knew I'd been bitten by the bug! (right now to see what the mrs thinks about me getting my own gun ha) So over Xmas I filled out the SGC application, posted on the 31st, got a call exactly a week after from the local FEO (a chap called Derek Binks) who is coming over for the chat/interview this week. Cabinet is installed ready to be inspected and I've stocked up on chocolate hobnobs! Being a left hooker there weren't many guns within my budget in my area however luckily my local gunsmith Greenfields recently put up a S/H 12G Laurona Game multi choke for a decent price, so after going in to have a look at it and check the fit (luckily it was good) I put a deposit down. So fingers crossed all goes well with the FEO and I'll be able to bring it home Then hopefully I'll be off to either Lains or Larkhill to get more practice in. My aim/ambition etc is to get permission to shoot on some local land to aide with any control of pigeons. I appreciate it can take a while and it may never happen around here but it's worth putting the wheels in motion so to speak. Hopefully I can get my foot in the door for a bit of beating locally and get known to the right people. But that is a way off yet! The forum looks like a bloomin' decent one and I look forward to chatting with you all on here in and around the threads. If any of you are near my neck of the woods drop me a pm, always keen to get to know local shooters! Right must dash! Cheers.

Griff- Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hey bridesmaid, like the beard. Gives me something to hang on to! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Now I may be packing the kind of tackle that you'd normally expect to find swinging about between the hindlegs of a Grand National winner, but I'm not totally stupid.
