    Newbie saying Hi

    Evening all, I'm a newbie to BP shooting having done mini rifle / CF rifle / shotgun up to now.

    Have now been swayed by friends to give BP a try so thought I'd say a quick hello and apologise for the stupid questions that will be coming your way!

    Am just about to put my variation in, apply for my explosives ticket and get my box made so hopefully be making lots of noise and smoke soon!

    Cheers all

    Keith

    Hi uk_bike99

    Welcome to the dark side, that the way it feels sometimes on a cold day when your hands are cover in fouling and ball lubricant, pass a wet wipe please.

    But the grin factor is enormous especially when using something like a replica Brown Bess or Dragoon pistols - no sights to hurl ball of lead at the target and you hit them.

    Cheers and happy shooting

    Welcome

    Welcome to the wonderful world of BP. the only sport where you have to wash your hands before you have a pee.
    The biggest problem facing this country today is not the terrorist. It's the politician.

    I get to WN most Sundays, work permiting. It's me that runs the club web site.

    Great way to spend the morning - 'cholesterol special' first, shot of caffeine then shooting. I try to do all the club comps apart from Presidernts Cup & Sporting Rifle.

    Last muzzle loaders comp was 'challenging' - trying to cap a revolver with frozen hands!

    Hi Keith,
    I am in a very similar position - will be putting in for a variation in the new year. What are you planning to go for?
