Hello From The United Kingdom

Post by kangarooscope » Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:02 am

Hi guys,

I am please to say that I have found and registered on your forum this evening.

I am a keen air rifle shooter here in England and a member of a local Hunter Field Target (HFT) air rifle club, We shoot every two weeks.

What do you guys get up to?

Cheers,

Roo

Welcome Roo,
Tell us a little bit more about yourself and show us some photos of your guns.
We love looking at photos of other people's guns. :)

Hi nagarifle,

I live near Southend, Essex which is about 30 miles (50k)east of London in an area known as Thundersley.

If any of you saw the olympic mountain biking on tv last August, I live about 3 miles away from where this took place.

Cheers,

Roo

Hi xl,

Well, what can I say, I work in a sales office :ZZZ: , married with a daughter, more grey hair than I should have and I shoot here every 2 weeks:

As far as guns go, I have a few in my collection amassed over the last 20 years or so, Air Arms TX200 MK2 .22, TX200 MK2 .177, Prosport .177, TX200SR MK1 .177, TX200SR MK2 .177, TX200SR MK2 .22, Weihrauch HW100T .177, Daystate Airwolf and a Brocock Contour XL that my daughter uses. Brocock AimX Grand Prix .177 pistol, Brocock Atomic .177 pistol and a Webley Hurricane .177 pistol.

Which ones would you like to see?

Cheers,

Roo

Hi shooter,

Sadly this was not me, and I am sure this is my loss.
