Hi, thanks for letting my join.

I’m Graham, based in Perthshire, Scotland.

When my Grandfather died back in 2019, he left me a few personal belongings, domino’s, a coronation penknife, some WW2 medals and 2 .303 rounds he brought back from Palestine in 1945. There’s quite a story about them 2 rounds which I hold dear. Anyway, those 2 rounds piqued an interest in Lee Enfield rifles resulting in me applying for my Firearms Licence and, just this week, acquiring my first .303 rifle. It’s a No4 mk1/2, shoots great and is very usable.

I shot air rifles and rimfire a lot in my youth and also did a bit of deer stalking in my 20’s. I’ve recently returned to shooting after a 20 odd year break and enjoy air rifles, rimfire, full bore, black powder and shotguns, all for targets and some for hunting. I also shoot 10m Olympic pistol with my youngest daughter and hope to introduce her to everything else along the way.

Welcome, from Paris, France.

Pleased to hear that you are getting back into shooting, and also passing on the bug to your daughter.

My daughter regularly shoots our .22 Enfield training rifles.

My wife also shoots. So it makes for quality family time at the range.!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
