Newbie From Vizag.

Post by architectharsha » Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:13 pm

hello all,

it has been my childhood dream to get into shooting sport,
Its only recently i'm a frequent reader to this forum and i have ordered a IHP 35 .177 calibre National air rifle from one of a member of this forum from indore. now i'm on search of like minds from vizag to setout on practice.
BTW we dont have any shooting clubs or ranges here so just plinking for time being.

Regards,
Harsha K

Welcome to IFG, Harsha. Never too late to fulfill your childhood dream. :)

1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Thanks dev for advise i'll change it - but it actually shows the tendency of people to lay hands on firearms in a country where it is a distant dream and speculation to get a arms licence.

I doubt that. Only criminals do that. People like you and I don't.

Hi Harsha, welcome. Enjoy the sport and dont forget to take good care of you gun. Vizag is humid and salty.


Mods / System admin,
Just a little doubt!
Harsha’s intro is dated July 22, 2010 but joining says Oct 21 2009.

Was just wondering.
