yeh , gettin' range time up at ssaa ripley. did a bit of shooting/plinking when i was young. ran into some old mates recently that shoot, sparked my intrest again.besides hunting rifles i like old collectable stuff. old mausers, brno's and stuff. wouldn't mind trying black powder down the track for kicks. in the meantime i'm enjoying range time. got a soft shoulder at the moment but. my 6.5 gave me love bites on my shoulder. lol

G'day Dave,
Welcome aboard. What types of shooting interest you? I collect military small arms 1950 to 1850, and the Mrs and I shoot Combined Services and Black Powder. Gotten a bit old to hunt much anymore, but did a lot when I was younger.

G'day All.Long time reader.Finally decided to join.Don't currently own a firearm or hold a licence at present.Been living in our caravan and travelling for last 3/4 years.Considered travelling with firearm but decided it was all too hard.Will be settling soon so time to get licenced again and get back into it.Particularly want to get into Precision/Long Range.Also hunting particularly ferals.Not sure which state we'll end up in(probably SA) though from a shooters point of view Vic seems the go,but that will depend on Minister for War and Finance.Any way, looking forward to participating in forums.

I've been following the forums for a awhile and posting last few months!
I just got my first rifle and have a 2nd rifle on the way, I've also got a reloading kit that I am yet to install!
I am looking to get into hunting in the year as well shooting paper for something to do.

Yo Dave,
What's your interest mate? Hunting, target, old stuff, reloading? Mine are all of the above, like a lot of others here. Hope you find this forum helpful.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but personally I prefer the .30/30 Winchester.

Hey everyone, just signed up as I'm chasing some information and haven't been involved in any type of hunting or shooting for over a decade now, back when I had property access and plenty of disposable income.

G'day All
I have recently returned to the hunting and shooting scene after an absence of about 7 years. Foolishly I sold everything and handed in my license and have just gone through the process of licensing. What a headache, but that's another story.
I started reading this forum and find there are a lot of contributors with an exceptional level of knowledge. Looking forward to reading more.

Thanks.
