Ratae Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hello everyone,I've been looking through this site for a couple of weeks now, and have finally plucked up enough courage to register my membership.A little info about myself! I'm a sixty three yrs young chap who has now retired from work.Basically.about two years ago I had serious health problems which were followed by another health scare (false alarm).All of this rather concentrated the mind, so when the opportunity for voluntary redundancy presented itself I naturally took it! This was one of my better decisions 'cos I have also made some crappy ones in my life! I then needed something to fill my days,I already enjoyed computing but naturally needed a hobby that got me out of the house and preferably out of the city.I had been a keen angler all of my life,but due to circumstances had not been fishing for twenty years.I kitted myself out again and joined several of my pals who also fish. I have a reasonable size garden and being close to parkland,racecourse and golf club,it naturally gets its fair share of squirrels,woodies and magpies in it,these tuftys began digging holes in my lawn and making a right mess of it! I borrowed a pals old air rifle to sort these tuftys out,that was it,I'd caught the bug! Now three months later,I have a AA tx200hc .177 (my one true love) with richter optik 3-9x40 scope. Also an AA s400 classic .22 with hawke varmint 2 6-24x44 scope and AA silencer.Nowadays there are many less woodies (in my freezer) and squirrels seen in my garden, so I'm scratching around locally to see if I can find a bit of vermin hunting locally. I live in Leicester and am a member of the AFTC at Kibworth. Sorry if I've bored the **** off everyone,rather got carried away! :blink: ratae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
