New Addition to the family

Post by prateek.gupta » Fri Nov 28, 2008 4:20 pm

Hi Everybody !!

I am Prateek, and have an extremely keen interest in Guns & other weaponry. Have been trying to search for a forum for along time, where I could find like minded people ... Finally, here I am ...
My interest has essentially been academic till date, and I am very keen now to take it to a practical level..

I sincerely request all of you to let me know, how should I get started.. Should I become a member of a shooting club, how can I apply for an arms licence, how many guns can I buy, etc.etc. ...

Thanks a lot in advance, and do excuse me if I sound over enthusiastic !!

Prateek

Hi Prateek,
Welcome to the forum. It is always best to join a shooting club & get a club membership. This will also help you in getting a liscence. hoping that you will have a good time here.

Hey !!

Thanks a lot all of you for a warm welcome... Especially my buddy "Lever Action" ...

Will do an extensive search on the site for all my questions, and will keep all of you updated with my progress. I think joining a shooting club first should be the best idea..

If anyone has any suggestions of which one is better in and around Mumbai do let me know..

Thanks in advance ..

Prateek
