    Mmmm...Welcome to the best forum in the cosmos....No back stabbing here, they do it in the front. During the initiation ceremony by the grand masters, if you are asked either 0.22 or 0.177, or even which oil is best, go for the softer option, all are painless anyway. Patient and expert advice no matter how many questions asked....Enjoy.

    If you are coming to Stoke and want somewhere to shoot then check out Kingsley HFT club.
