peacey Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 hard to get that shooting buddy seen as most already have one. not sure about advertising your age straight away being so young you should be careful and get the replies checked out before replying. just a bit of friendly advice. it is nice to see an eager young lad wanting to learn the sport good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Stillsy Welcome to PW, shooting permission is not eassy to find, but you would improve your chances if you completed your profile properly, and stated your location. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykayaker Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Good luck with your search As said above, just be careful, if someone does offer to meet up with you, make sure someone else goes with you I'm not saying you cant look after yourself but better to be safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisDavey Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 VERMINATOR If you take this lad on and he checks out OK then we've a big patch in Dilton Marsh for an accompanied 20 bore shooter guest. After you've met up then please pass my details on and we can look to some activities in November time when the grass and crops are down We're mainly bunnies, few pigeon and fox. We could try him out on .22 FAC Air and .22LR too to broaden his view First meeting for me will have to be with the parents in tow for parental acceptance etc. JAMES: Good to see a young lad taking positive steps in this area. Please only attend initial meetings with your folks in tow as this will provide security and assurance to the Permission Holder. Gun safety is a watch word with many new shooters, and poor safety can prevent you being invited again. So practice and ask/unload if in doubt. Good luck and look forward to a contact from Verminator in the future Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its along way away but you are welcome to came and learn with the rest of the young men. If you ever get over on this side of the pond you have a standing invite.
