jjonn 0 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hello all. My name is Jon, or jjonn. I am a fan of your site, especially the forums, and have been "lurking" for a while. But then i was searching google for information on a fairground attraction that used air powered "machine guns", to shooot out stars on paper targets, that i remember from when i was a teenager ( too long ago). So i read the thread that came up, and wanted to register to reply. That place was here. So, hello! A am 40, have been an avid wild fisherman and air shooter since i was 7 years old. I have had many a rabbit, so so many rats and crows on farms when i grew up, squirrels ( nice to eat ) and wood pidgeons ( also lovely, but need a few, ) I love to camp wild in the Scottish highlands, but only fish there. I rarely shoot now, as my right eye has limited sight ( thats my scope eye), and i also live in a flat with no land, and i don't want or need to help out about local farms etc anymore. I do have a bit of fun from time to time, rabbits at a friends farm, and my kids often go ratting there. I have taken my lads rabbiting, a few times, but they are only truly happy with the shooting part, and i wont let them shoot unless they get stuck in with paunching and skinning too. Oh, i mentioned fishing, i know it's not shooting, but it's a passion of mine. I dream of owning a FAC, but i never got around to it yet, so i suppose i never will. And to be honest with you all, i don't think i could sort out a deer after shooting, and legal limit air weapons are enough for almost anything else if you can shoot, are close enough, and ya weapon is consistant and zeroed ( except flying birds, and foxes i think, in the UK. I know a guy that does, but i think he is pushing it ). Oh, i live on the south coast UK, between Portsmouth and Southampton. It feels nice to finally introduce myself here, and may i say thank you all here for making this forum a brilliant resource and tool for non members on the interwebs. I hope now i have registered, i can maybe give a bit back to your community with a little input. Jon ( or jjonn ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
