This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

What are you going to be using? I was looking into shooting as a replacement for rugby, following my break last year, but couldn't find a range local enough to make it a feasable option.

Nice one.

Am I the only one who immediately looked at the top left where he has hidden his address and thought it looked like the shape of a pistol? I think I've been in the Army too long lol. :smt071

Well done, takes a lot of work these days I believe.

What are you shooting? Club or hunting? Plus, what are you collecting on Saturday?

Thanks, as the FEO said, if you have just reason, then its not a problem as such, it only took 3 weeks from application to the certificate coming through.

Ill be picking up a .17 HMR CZ American supposed to be accurate to about 150 yards

Ill be shooting rabbits and other Vermin on a friends farm, about 320 acres :)

Local ranges were all very backwards hand shaky etc etc, Ill be shooting at a friends farm with a .17 HMR, hoping all goes well for collection next saturday :)
