    As a kid I lived within walking distance of an abandoned quarry, much enjoyed by kids with air rifles and old motorbikes. My mum sewed me up a case from vinyl so I could carry my rifle up there.

    It's a country park now, with a visitor centre and art installations. The kids hang around outside the off licence.

    We had a old pit baths opposite us, Around 100 yards long , upstairs and roof top. Played football, tennis ,cricket and a lot of shooting, Upstairs was in two rooms, Great for the sling when shooting marbles, The marbles would bounce back quicker on the way back once hit the wall, You had to dodge the marbles on the way back, Got knee capped once by a rebound.

    As a few members have mentioned about the past.Seems years ago it was easier to take up the sport, this day and age to many problems relating to forms of weapons (eg education) so this will I believe cause a depletion in airgunning
