Thread: I'm - we're - new!

as i told my boss the other day, get your kids into shooting. its so habit forming and expensive they will never afford to buy drugs

Welcome along

Thanks to everyone for the welcome.

We're target shooting .22s with the Wallingford club, part of the Southern Hawke's Bay Smallbore Rifle Assoc. (I think I have that right!) We have tried 308s once, but it was the last meet of the season; our daughter was with us then and did very well. That does mean we're restricted on calibre in use, but... Is there a .22 rifle better suited to target and game shooting? (I appreciate boar and venison are off the menu for now.)

And yes - turkey casserole/curry/pie does taste so much better than they look in the field!

never thought much of shotguns till I surprised a mob of turkeys over a hillock. Side by side. Two shots multiple dead turkeys. New respect for shot guns. Air rifles at moment. Could be a good option for the next 12 months for you. They take skill to shoot. Hone in your stalking and hunting skills and don't need a licence if not pcp. I'm enjoying them to the max. Anyway welcome aboard.
