    Hello from the quiet Lincolnshire fields.....

    Hi, a new member to this forum, suggested by a friend on here. looking forward to learning loads and maybe contributing. I shoot clay pigeons at non-competetive level, and local/postal competition level for rimfire and centrefireTarget rifle and pistols.

    I am just getting back into air rifles after a 40+ leave of abscence, and have had my family air rifle - a 1958 Original 50, restored, and I am having great fun on the range with it (although my tired old eyes may have to stick a scope on it (Horror!) )

    Looking forward to talking to people, but if I make mistakes, don't flame me, just point out I'm wrong, no problem. All the best, Bloke (Called that 'cos I am a (fat) Bloke, and my mates just shortened it!)

    It was tough, but I had to eat yours so she wasnt offended! I will bring some choccy biccys round next time and I will shut up (if that is possible) and sit there till you eat them, I know you have to watch your figure, but if you scoff the lot, next time you are shooting prone, you will be like me, just like a turtle on it's back
