    Hello everyone

    Hi, I'm Paul, 38 and I'm from a small village outside Exeter, Devon.
    I've been a keen airgunner since my Grandfather taught me to shoot when I was about 6 or 7 years old.
    My first airgun was a Baikal .177 followed by (in order)
    BSA supersport .177 & .22
    Webley Tracker .177
    Weihrauch HW35 .22
    BSA Superstar .22
    AA TX200 .22
    AA TX200sr .22
    AA S410 .177
    AA S410 TDR .22
    Gunpower Stealth .22
    Brocock hunter .22

    Having bounced between the 2 calibres, I like the flat trajectory of the smaller calibre, but often have problems with it over penetrating in the field. I'd quite like my next rifle to be a .20 and if anyone has any experience or advice on the matter I'd like to hear what you have to say I enjoy HFT but have not found a club down here since moving from Oxford 5 years ago. Again, any advice would be well recieved!
    I also have 2 working lurchers an a couple of ferrets that I use on equine lands that dont like shooting.
    I'm interested in getting my FAC at somepoint, but havent really had the time or funds in recent years to pursue it.

    If looking for HFT then bit of a trek to Shebbear shooters.

    If you are happy shooting air inside in the warm at targets then Pinhoe is close and very good. They shoot LSR with air at 20 yards. They have a nice bit of ground that could house a HFT course given a few members wanting it
