katman Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hello Members, When I was a kid my father taught me how to fish and hunt with a gun. I have been fishing ever since; more so fly fishing for the last ten or so year. But hunting dropped off my radar, until recently when I acquired a compound and got proficient by making a timber framed compressed cardboard target and setup a range in my 20m+ long garage. Now I find myself researching firearms with an interest in purchasing a shotgun and rifle in the future. As none of my friends are really into hunting I see this and other forums as a way of learning some things and maybe finding some people to hunt with down the track. It would also be great to get some insight into good locations to hunt re both public and private land. But i imagine hunters are as coy as fisher folk when it comes to prime areas to hunt game and varmits! Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remo Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone. I've been shooting for about 2 years now, made some awesome mates and had a ball chasing mainly rabbits, foxes and cats. Been through quite a few rifles and now settled on a 1983 Anshutz 1515-1516 .22WMR and a Sako L461 Vixen in .222 for my main shooting rigs. Still also love to pull out the CZ452 .22LR for some stealth subsonic bunnie shooting. Edited September 30, 2013 by remo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to hopefully gain a bit of knowledge from all u good folks who know way more about the sport than I ever will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickn Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi all, I don't really say a lot, but if I can help someone out or have a very strong opinion about a topic I'll chime in.I visit to learn as much as I can from other peoples experiences and knowledge, but I'm also happy to pass on what I can.I've been into shooting for as long as I can remember but really only just getting back into it in a reasonable sort of way. I've got my 12 year old boy into it as well, which is important to me as it gets him out sharing time with me and into this bloody great country we live in instead of just sitting around with his head in a screen of some sort.I look forward to this forum being a worthwhile, informative and friendly place to spend some time.Regards All,mickn.
