Tiger Hunter 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi all Just saying 'hi' I am a forum newbie, located in Windsor. Having taken a break from hunting when we immigrated from South Africa 7yrs ago, I haved decided to get back into the sport. I have just bought a Weihrauch .22 HW97 Air rifle, with 4x40 scope, and am happy to be printing 40mm groupings at 30 yards - I thought it was going to take a lot longer to get my eye back in. I know I have more work to do, but given I haven't shot in more than 8 years, and my rifle is still running in, I am pretty chuffed so far. If anyone has spare capacity or needs assistance (or even some company) on their permissions, I would love to come along. I haven't started the arduous task of seeking permission myself - I still psyching myself up In the meantime, good shooting. Tiger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wow - my in-laws from my first marriage lived round the corner from there! 64 was a bit before my time, but I wouldn;t be surprised if my ex father-in-law knew your mum - back then it was quite a close community in that area. Yes, the troubles...it's s real pity what has happened to what is a beautiful country Quote Link to post Share on other sites
