I got my first gun which was a Gat Gun back in 1984 when i was 14 and then after a few years and over the next few years I had a HW70, HW45, AA S100, Theoben Cuntryman Carbine then a AA Shamal. Gave up around 2000 and started shooting again last year with my youngest son and now we have a Daystate Revere and AA S400 Carbine.
