Get to shoot the obvious SA80 at work but the chefs got to do 9mm pistol shooting with all the scenario shoots.
Absolutely loved it.

Guns are a very serious affair though, my neighbour has a sniper rifle and he has to have 3 safes in the house to keep the bolt, ammunition and other parts of it seperate.

The Police come round and check that he is adhering to this on a regular unannounced basis. Which is actually quite reassuring as someone could do some serious damage if it got into the wrong hands.

havn't been up shooting for a long time, got my own gun as i'm left-handed but it's a kinda cheapo effort, had it for years... and last time i was there i think i hit..... none (coz i didn't have contact lenses/glasses at the time )

i'll need to make the effort to go.

i like clay birding now and then as a change but prefer rough shooting and fowling.
just bought some new cartridges for fowling because lead is banned on wetlands 2 3/4 inch heavy shot £9 for 10 nearly £1 a shot so i dont want to be missing much.

I do shotgun shooting and have plenty of trophies for my efforts, i sold one of my guns last year and dont get much time to do it any more but i will get back into it seriously in 2005. me and my grandad have shot in the english open championship a couple of times which really sorts out the good shooters

and that was before ya was in the RAF



one of my cousins had a gun licence when he was 18 as his dad died and owned a few and lots of land ( was a farm with fook all animals but a horse )


for him to be allowed to keep em he had to get a licence and tbh it wasnt as hard as he was told it would be


i asked for one and they asked why i felt i needed one



but then ive never shot except in caddets



i just wanted it to look flash with my american express card when i was 18


i aint spoke to him in years come to think of it, this thread has only reminded me of him

havent been shooting in ages, used to do it as a teenager in the cadets...

loved the SA80 range of weapons... the LSW is a bit pansy tho as its still got a normal capacity magazine which i think's a tad odd for a support weapon
