Hi Everybody !

Many you you have probably noticed a ' GUEST ' browsing these forumns at ungoldy hours - THAT would've been me.

I've found this to be an excellent forum and the highlight for me are the members who are so very willing to share information.

I last held a gun more than 3 decades back and it was an ancient airgun made in England ( BSA ? ). I've been on quite a few hunting trips as a youngster - solely as a specatator. Wild Boar, Deer and Crocs were the prime targets. Very memorable stuff, the ultimate incident being when an injured boar back-tracked and caused havoc. A slashed stomach and hanging intestines sure do tend to stick in ones memory. [ and NO it wasn't my stomach .. but thanks for asking ! ].

Fishing too was a great pastime and real fun as our gear was extremely rudimentary. Unfortunately all these memories are 30 years old ! * S I G H *

My interest in shooting has always been Target practise and in my case I'm afraid it is more Enthusiasm on my part rather than any innate Skill or Aptitude for shooting.

I have very modest ambitions as far as shooting goes -
----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Get an Airgun ( i've done that through Aimco )

2. Do lots of DIY stuff on the gun - learn from the DIY enthusiasts here.

3. Join the AP rifle club ( need some help with this, apprently one needs to be " introduced " by 2 members. )

4. Try and import an airgun.

5. Apply for a gun license.

6. Get a .22 LR

This sure is a great forum and many many congrats to Mundaire for having taken the initiative and also to the very active members who keep the action going.

I look forward to enjoying my time here, learning lots and also hopefully start contributing at some stage.

Cheers !

you can join Gachibowli range and shoot excellent Anschutz rifles, just bring your pellets. RAAP membership do not required for that.

Welcome to IFG ... I'm glad that was not your stomach

@ Subal : Thanks for the Welcome Subal. Thanks too for being happy regd my stomach !

But you sure aren't half as happy as me regd THAT !

Are you sure about me joining the Gachibowli range without any membership ? I'd surely like to lay my hands on the Anshutz rifles ! Would you mind if I hassled you for some more info regarding that ?

@ Velind : Jay - Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to having a great time here.

@ SRI420 - Srinivas - Thanks for the Welcome. We seem to be namesakes ! And YES - this forum ROCKS ! and I've replied to your PM. Pls do check.

@ Jonah - " get another one..

" ---

@ HydNawab : Ashar - thanks for the Welcome mate ! and there's no need for the sorry bit as I have my feet in Hyd AND Sec'bad . I stay in Hyderabad and earn my daily bread in Sec'bad .. or rather my daily Biryani ( as I'm a step away from PARADISE ! )

you can join the range I'm sure. They may not give you Anshutz rifle immediately, so you can start with shooting IHP, and learn some basics. You can PM me if you want.
