Starter's Block, Help please

Hi Friends,

I wonder how did we get most of our Olympic medals in shooting where at the base there is no direct help.

At last I finally got NRAI membership and became life member - Good bad ugly don’t know many of my fellows here opposed that but, I saw no way out without that to move.

Fine , now comes they have no answer to how can I participate in my first match. They don’t have answers to availability of Guns on hire etc. As a new comer straight shooting over lac ruppee to get the first Airgun is like spinning.

No Answer on if I don’t have license can I use fire arm at the range or not or at least I didn’t get answer yet.
And unless you are renown shooter you cannot import match gun (fire arm) and to become renown you need an imported equipment

Even for help on import support spoke to few dealers who helps import, despite of telling that I am a member of NRAI they had long stories to tell and couple of more formalities to fulfill than if I ordered myself.

Stupid me had a trip to Germany in June and missed the chance, actually didn’t get a readily available Gun and was running after .22 instead of .177, and don’t see any trip in near future

Any way thats my frustration but at last made up my mind to get one decent Air Rifle. Import process is 4-6 weeks delivery time. I am ready to take my budget to 100K INR
I would be buying this only to reach renown status, my love for shooting would be .22 and shot gun later. (Throwing away soem mutual funds for that, thinking it would be worth giving up)

Can you suggest which one from these three brands walther, Feinwerkbau or Anschutz, someone told me Feinwerkbau is better than Walther. Kindly suggest.

Also is pyramydair.com the best options to order from ?

Also if my order delays and my State competition starts what is the option can I still follow.


Thanks

Oops wonder sad and disappointed no respose came forward

Anyway Small update, I have started my import process for Feinwerkbau 700 lets see how it goes and I will update.

In the mean time I have hit another road block.

I went to HH Karni Singh Range, Got the memebership form and am submitting tomorrow.
However Wanted to speak to someone for little guide but there was no hope and no access beyond the gate.
At last after waiting at gate for 2 n half hours and many request to Guards one escorted me to one of the offcials. Who said

1. There is no Airgun available for practice
2. There is a .22 Rifle availabel that I can still get to practice however I got to get my own ammunition thats understood but I have got limit of only 50/year.
3. Called NRAI if they can help for ammunition, response as you all would know, they cannot help me unless I have earned renown shooter status
4. I will have to get everything like ammunition/pallets/rubber band/targets and or anything else required.
5. Is there anyone who can land me 1000 rounds of .22 for practice in Oct, I can not pay a premium price but NRAI rates for sure.

can any one who is a regular member of the range here please throw some light on this for me and how do I take a steo ahead.

I am thinking of travelling back to home town with NRAI card and Range ID card to try an increase limit for ammunition.


Look forward to hear back from you all fellow shooters.
