    Hi new guy needing advice please

    Ok i loved shooting springers as a kid, then last year i purchased a AA 410 TDR .22 which i fell in love with (i think it was the james bond bit coming back out in me from a kid).
    Anyway we did not have that long together about 5 months (lost my job so it had to be sold) but i knew i was hooked again and loved pcp guns.

    Now getting to the advice i would like to take up target shooting im left handed looking for second hand kit with a £1000 all in so looking for advice on rifles and scopes ect please.

    Also i live in croydon surrey can anyone recomend a range or club's i can contact with regards to joining.

    Dave

    And thank you to anyone that takes the time to help me

    this Website has a link to Smallbore Clubs affiliated to the Surrey Small Bore Rifle Association, some of which have airgun sections, mostly match weapons, but a few do cater for FT, Bookham for one. There might be others as well ?

    what disciplines are you thinking of competing in?
    There are a number of clubs in the area, Gally Hill in Banstead, there is one in Sutton etc. all depends what you want to do.

    Yep, if you're thinking about FT then it will probably affect your choice of scope at least over something like it's sister discipline, HFT

    I don't know your 'very local' clubs but I find the trip to Bisley well worth while to shoot at BFTO. Large membership and some excellent and helpful shooters there. It is also open every day.
    Also welcome aboard to another left hander.

    The links for the Addiscombe Rifle club don't seem to work for me either, does anyone have any other contact details ?
