New but older!

#1 Post by Topic22 »

Completely new to the sport this year and it’s a steep learning curve, particularly when you’re past the first bloom of youth!

I found the site when looking for information about clubs and shooting disciplines but as I’ve now joined a club, done the training course, become a full member and applied for my FAC it seemed time to stop “lurking” and register.

The extent of my ignorance is enormous :o but the forum has been a great help so far and I’m looking forward to learning more.

Welcome and don't be afraid of asking questions.

You may get different answers, depending on who you ask, of course ;)

What are you shooting?
