This is me! A Yorkshire man living in the South West, I am a mechanical engineer by trade, I moved to Plymouth to take up a job opportunity in 2003.

I had a very nasty accident at work in May 07, where I had both my legs crushed by a 1968 Ford Mustang "with crap brakes" after 5 major operations I am able to walk again!! I can't do my old hobby's of mountain biking and Motox, so I started to look at other things to do. I have got back into air rifle shooting about 6 months ago, when I was introduced to this wonderful sport by a friend and am totally smitten.

I am shooting a beautiful AA S410 .177 Carbine and I am lucky enough to have loads of permission in the stunning hills of Cornwall to shoot on, with quarry of every type available/suitable for the air rifle.

I am gradually getting the hang of field-craft and as a result getting more successful each visit. I have mainly shot rabbit up to now, but the woods are getting busy, and I need to step out of my comfort zone with shooting rabbits and start on the tree rats and the feathered creatures.
