Hi

Post by lazybones » Tue Oct 07, 2008 11:43 pm

Hi Guys:
I'm Ashok from Bangalore. I've been visiting IFG since it began and only just registered - hence my moniker :D
I live in Bangalore and am on a well earned sabbatical after years in the IT salt mines :D
The first thing I did was to pick up a National 35 from Joy in Calcutta and start plinking in the garden with other jobless types.
I had given up shooting years ago when I came back from university and had to leave all my guns behind (boo hoo, it still depresses me).
Great to know we've all come together and hope to meet (and plink with) you soon.

regards, Ashok

Welcome to IFG Ashok...

Good to have another BB in the list :)

What all guns have you fired; are you into shooting sports; do you have any guns with you; what have you planned?...

DO let us know ... :)

Hi sitar and TenX:
Thanks for the warm welcome. I feel I know you well from reading your posts.
The BBs might have to be renamed the Bangalore Buffaloes with me coming in :D
22LR and 12 gauge were favorites at Univ. I basically fired anything I could beg, borrow or steal :D My favorites were a Ruger Mark 2 pistol (.22) and an Ithaca pump.
My worst performance was probably with the .45 - I have to admit to not being able to hit the proverbial "back side of a barn" with it, even though I kept at it :D
I've never formally trained in any competition shooting - FT/beer cans/logs was more my style. Wild horses can't keep me away from the next BB FT outing :D
I'd really like to join the KSRA and formally learn 50 mtr rifle.
My current plans are to plink to glory with the National 35 (the only blunderbuss I currently own) and maybe join the KSRA. The gun license process seems hopelessly intimidating.
I'm usually at Koshys, most afternoons - the coffees are on me :D

Thanks indian, ngrewal and TenX.
Indian: maybe I will traumatize some babu with yet-another license application :)
TenX: thanks much for the link and the offer. A friend is getting me the forms when he goes for the AGM on the 11'th (?). Shall run the form by you before submitting.
Hope to see you on the 18'th. Have already started telling "sweet little lies" to all previous obligations :D

The AGM is on the 12th.. and I doubt if your friend can get you the form, unless he has enough Lobby :)
Procedure is to pick it up personally from the Admn. Offr...

Thanks Shamsher and Prabhat.
Thanks for the heads-up TenX. None of my friends are politicians, yet :D
I'll go down and pick up the forms myself
