Like many, my Dad. when I was very young he had firearms and airguns, I was shown how to shoot and got proficient enough with a Webley Ranger to shoot the bullseyes out of targets in the garden, I remember going to an outdoor range where the main use was pistols, Dads friend had a tiny little pistol that I shot a couple of times. I think it was a 32ACP but memory is fuzzy so could have easily have been a .25 as well. Dad's pistols were 38's and 44's so too much for me to manage.
Soon after the handgun ban came in and he gave the lot up and I had to put up with the odd mates spring airguns for the odd day out shooting. I bought a HW80 around 28 years ago but hard times meant I soon had to release it for car tax and it wasnt until 2007 that I managed to get back into it properly.

I found this place and never really looked back, learnt so much since
