thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm a lefty so I got less toys to chose from. I got a savage mark 2 and a Rossi CJ .44mag and I got the better half a Erma eg 71 .22 and we will be getting here a 30-30lever to hunt with. She wants to be a cowgirl :p I'm also looking at making my Rossi for tacticool in the near future.

Lmfao, that was the very first game console I owned. I was like 6... That's going way to fair back. Wish I was 22 back then. Would of got to have a play with a semi auto... Bloody Howard.

And yea, she doesn't want a mag cal for her lever due to the Rossi having to much balls for her to handle as she's a small girl in stature.

She shot a friends 30-30 at the range and fell in love with the amount of recoil. Only problem is she wants a smooth action, all the ones we have looked at or shot have been really rough and you had to beat it around. No good for follow up shots...

Hi all,

Just a quick post to introduce myself. I was a member of another shooting forum but after taking a couple months off from it because of the in fighting I found it had shut down so I went through google looking for another forum and this one seems like the best bet based on what I've seen so far. I have been hunting from a young age but more recently took up sporting clays, pistol shooting and the range side of rifle shooting.

Anyway I won't bang on too long, I look forward to being part of this community.

Cheers,

John

That internal politics crap ruins so many forums. Same reason I moved here, along with a few others I know have said the same thing.

None of that here though :)

I'm pretty new to shooting but am really getting into it.

I took a pair of my mates out to our local range on the weekend for their first shoot and they loved it.

Two license applications underway and two more advocates for the sport :mrgreen:
