Boswell Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi all, Just a quick hello. I've been shooting rifles all my life but shotguns only for the last two years. I shoot clays (simulated field) and game. I've got some good info from this site over the past two years so figured I should join up. Cheers.

Well mate I'd be an hour from Bendigo and a bit less from Nagambie. I'm shooting at Seymour tomorrow which as you may remember is very close to Nagambie.

fortune Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Tell us about the rifles cals that you use and what the quarry is. What sort of shotgun / s do you use. I used to comunicate with a guy out in Aus that was a shark fisherman. He lived somewhere near Laureton . He and I were on another site that submerged and I lost contact with him.

Boswell Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Tell us about the rifles cals that you use and what the quarry is. What sort of shotgun / s do you use. I used to comunicate with a guy out in Aus that was a shark fisherman. He lived somewhere near Laureton . He and I were on another site that submerged and I lost contact with him. So I started out as a kid chasing rabbits/foxes/kengaroos. I then started doing a few trips up to NSW and Queensland each year after pigs and goats. I've also done a few Northern Territory trips after pigs and buffalo. About 15 years ago I started hunting deer pretty seriously. In Victoria we've got Sambar, Red, Fallow and Hog with the odd Chital and Rusa. Two years ago I started shooting Field and Game which is Australian Simulated Field. It's like your Sporting Clays or English Sporting. I've become massively addicted to it and shoot comps about 3 or 4 times a month. Through F&G I've gotten in with a great crew of blokes and with them I'm hunting duck and quail. We also take 4 driven pheasant days per year and do a few walk-up days on partridge and pheasant. In terms of guns I'm shooting a Kemen KM4 32" sporter. When I started on the clays I bought a 725 32" sporter then went to the Kemen. As a bit of a gun whore I've had at least one of; 22, 17hmr, 223, 22-250, 243, 6mmXC, 270, 7mm wsm, 30-06, 300wsm, 300wm, 325wsm, 338NM, 9.3x62, 375H&H. Bloody hell, that's pretty bad now I actually list them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
