SheepAreHilarious Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Hi all, Just wanted to say hello! I have just got my first shotgun certificated (still waiting for it to turn up 4 weeks later)! But have my first shotgun reserved, a Beretta 686 s. I have shot several times at Greenfields in Canterbury and really enjoyed it. I have a real interest in sporting and field sports, and am hoping to have the opportunity to do some rough shooting soon. I am a keen cook and would love to be able to prepare a meal from gun to pan to plate (sad i know!). I am hoping that i can meet up with people to shoot clay or the real thing. I currently live near Rainham in Kent but hope to move to Langley (near maidstone) soon. So... thats me - feel free to say hi and if you are up for laughing at a noobie / showing someone the ropes / socializing then please say hi and get in touch.

SheepAreHilarious Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Whey! The shotgun certificate finally arrived yesterday and today i was most fortunate to be off, so took the hour drive to pick up my shotgun that has been on reserve with Chris Potter in Tonbridge Wells for a good 2 months now. Not only did they look after it for me without a deposit - which i offered a few times, but the price was reduced by nearly £75 when i paid AND they threw in a cheapie slip case for it! I am so chuffed not only with the gun itself, but the amazing service I got as a total newbie. No condicening or impression that i was an effort to deal with, but kind, honest service, a careful fitting - they spend a good hour with me on the saturday I went and were VERY busy with people queuing. Just wanted to give them a little plug really if you are in the area - really great. anyway - Back to my excitement. I will try and what a few pictures up - but im sure you have seen better and more exciting guns. I have a Beretta 686s in fair condition. However i brought it to use it not to show it so probably for the best! Hoping to get out tomorrow for a qucik test before i go away on holiday..... would almost rather stay now!
