Howdie all anyone else out there into the age old art of shooting? I'm just starting out (on an air rifle atm), woundered if any other mini owners participate in such a grand sport be it pest control, or target shooting.

I was in the ATC as a teenager (to keep me out of trouble!) always went to a small tube-range that we shot .22 bolt rifles down.
But then once in a while we used to go to an RAF base and use the bigger boys such as the L98. After a few goes I got my RAF marksman on a 100m range in South Shields, not bad for a 14 year old lol.

Enjoy, but be safe!!!!!!

I've own far too many air guns to list to be honest! :)

I used to UKHFT, and a bit of hunting here and there...

Best rifles I've owned... AA S400 GML converted, and a Bull Barreled HW95 Walnut.

Don't ATC too, marksman everytime I went on the range... had cadets paying me to get them a Marksman haha!

Got bored, and moved back to Minis ;)

when the old man used to live in cornwall-ium, I used to look forward to a sunday morning shoot down at the farm, and knew plenty of guys with impressive Spanish shotguns - but no-one with a "south American fear of commies" arsenal like that :)

Nah all sold up now, been a few years since a weapon has been in the house now :crazy:

If I was to go out and get something, I'd prob get a Daystate mk3 or simular :P

the Tx was ok, hitting tin cans at 100 yards was fun, but only when I get a decent scoop :P
