Hi, I started off rough shooting in my early teens with my dad and two labradors on a then local farm. Since then I’ve wildfowled on the Solway regularly ,been a member of a few pheasant syndicates and shot rabbits and foxes with my .22 and .222. I started stalking deer around 20 years ago taking around 6 to 8 roe yearly, half given away and half eaten at home. I am newly retired and as I enjoy outings with the rifle I intend to continue stalking after a move further North later this year. In preparation I hope to do my DSC1 and concentrate on gaining more knowledge to enable me to enjoy my stalking as much as possible. I have a Ruger #1 .243 ,Remington .222 re barrelled with a Benchmark match grade stainless barrel and a Model 52B Winchester .22lr commemorative rifle made by Miroku.
