new member introduction

Hello everyone, I have been shooting in Surrey for quite a few years mainly pest control up to and including foxes. I have had a few stalks on deer but I do like my foxing. I found this forum whilst looking for some load data for my newly acquired.17 hornet. I have not...

Hi, Born and bred in Yorkshire. I like deer stalking, short/long-distance target shooting, and clay pigeon shooting. I have stalked in Northumberland and Nottinghamshire, observing fallow, roe, and muntjac, unfortunately with no safe shot. My first deer was a roe doe, on an accompanied stalk...

Hi I am a farmer from Cork Ireland, have a desire to get into shooting/hunting for the freezer. Got a 22Lr a few months ago for rabbits and the odd fox. Have a lot of deer around also, if successful with a few rabbits for stew or bbq I’d like to do the relevant courses and get a higher...

Hi. I am from Worcestershire and have a number of rifles mostly I use my 243. Now not so sure about my user name; it probably should have been "TJmoa-if-I-am-lucky". Merry Christmas all. TJ

Hello. New member to the site. Was suggested it would be a very useful tool by a couple of other members of my gun club. I'm based in Nottinghamshire and I'm always up for a chat with like minded people. I mainly do target shooting and clay pigeon shooting but id like to get into the stalking...

Greetings all from Middlesex/North-West London, UK! I came across this site looking for used centre-fire reloading gear for sale, which I'm starting to get interested in. I don't actively stalk, though I shoot 22 at my local club (where others do stalk), clays at various places and more recently...

Hi all, I'm Lukman. I've visited these forums often and benefitted from the information others share. I've seen an interesting thread recently that I wanted to participate in after having experienced something the OP referenced. I am a target shooter as a member of a Surrey based rifle club...

Hi all, As you could have guessed from the username, I'm Luke. I'm 22, based mostly in Herts/Essex but work in Kent during the week. I've been shooting about eight years, started off in the cadets as many do, joined a local club and the rest is history. I shoot most disciplines for fun with one...

Hi all, I am originally from South Wales but now live in Wilts. I am completely new to deer stalking but have been doing some research into how to get started. I came across one of your YouTube videos and decided this would be a good place to start. I have been looking at completing the DSC1...

Hi all, just another introduction, I live and work on my family’s dairy, beef and sheep farm somewhere in Aberdeenshire. I’ve always enjoyed vermin and pest control from a very young age and now I do practically all the pest control on the farm. I shoot .22lr .17HMR a couple of shotguns and my...

Hi all, I've been visiting the site on and off for some years now and suddenly wondered why I hadn't joined - so I have. I live and work in rural Hertfordshire, and spend most of my shooting time on one range or another. I've been shooting since I was taught as a Cadet many years ago. Currently...

Good Afternoon, Thank you for allowing me to register. I am fairly new to stalking and only been part of the sport for less than two of years; but I have gained a reasonable amount of experience shooting over 70 deer; and just in the process of acquiring my DSC 2 (under the old scheme). I...

Hi all, new to stalking and hoping to gain as much knowledge as I can. Live on the Suffolk coast. Any tips most welcomed!
