Newbie saying hi

Post by Rgo » 24 Jan 2017, 2:13 pm

Just thought i had better join up and say hi. Been lurking for quite a while. I let my license expire way back in about 2001 for various reasons and have just decided to get it back. Sent of application yesterday and was asked for my ID today so it's all happening. This seems like a top community, looking forward to being a part of it.

Hello

I just passed my license test on Wednesday. Im totally new to shooting and as a owner of a firearm.
Ive been reading forums and rifle reviews all over the internet and thought id better join a forum to get some banter going.

Im 40 years of age and fired 5 shots from a .22LR back in 2005 on a farm. Since then my wife and i moved to Darwin and have been here 4 years.
My only other experience with firearms is recently in 2016 we went to America for a 7 week road trip holiday and when in Las Vegas we went and shot some firearms.

I thought id never get a chance to shoot http://www.battlefieldvegas.com/ 5.56mm M249 30 rnds, 9mm pistol Sig Sauer 10 rnds, MP5 9mm 20 rnds, M4 30 rnds, AK47 30 rnds. So much fun and felt so easy to handle but the AK47 had a kick.

I am also new to this forum. When I am not working away working (anywhere from Chinchilla to Beijing to Mumbai), I shoot ISSF pistol to 25m and F-class rifle out to 1000 yards, both at Belmont in Brissie. I love hunting but never have an opportunity to hunt. I also have a small business that manufactures fullbore target rifle sights, and accessories like scope rails. I came here after getting bored at another forum.

Cheers,
Sumo.
