ben.o 2 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 hi guys. i'm ben and i'm in london, but my heart is still in the country. i grew up between the south east of england (sussex) and australia and was into my field sports all that time. I used to do more until becoming a student squeezed the budget. I cleared out most of the guns and gear I spent a "gap year" and numerous weekend jobs working to buy (+ pay fees - there were no travels for me!).... BUT i have my first "propper" gun ever - HW95K now in need of TLC but an exciting project + a harrier PH6 in .22 and a harrier in .177 that I never got rid of when I gave up my guns "on ticket". So i've just got one of the harriers up and going, the HW95 is a project I am really looking forward. I still have one or two tiny permissions in Sussex (just as well as my pad here gives me a max of 19 yards and I have to move furniture and shoot out a window to get it!!) and I am VERY excited to be back into this stuff. It's funny how the freshness and excitedness of the whole thing is still as razor sharp as when I was 15 and out with the HW95. SO - that's me. Currently in the sub-12ft lbs world which I love, but keen to follow my heart as getting our young family off the ground is slowly starting to free up a bit of time and £ for me again!!! In the mean time I'm on the charm offensive to see if I can't find few urban/suburban permissions. I know I see enough bunnies on my winter runs with a head-torch on the local common! Be good to know of any guys in the area - being a country boy in the big smoke can be lonely! Otherwise a quick lurk has shown me this looks like a good place to hang out. Thanks guys - B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
