In
1994 I took up pistol shooting which I thought would be an ideal
pastime. Unfortunately in 1997 an Act of Parliament was brought
in which prohibited the ownership & use of all Full Bore Handguns.
We were compensated by the government, but unfortunately this never
really covered my initial outlay.
I
chose two pistols. Firstly a Semi Automatic Glock 17 9mm & a rather
old ex police Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 Special Revolver, of
which I have included photo's.
In 2005 I decided to try Clay Pigeon shooting. I purchased a secondhand Lanber 12 bore O/U. It's not so much fun as pistol shooting but I can at least show that my aim is just as bad with rifles!
My latest interest is black powder shooting & Gallery Rifle. Both of which can be shot on an inside range. I have obtained a .44 caliber Pietta 1860 Army. It's a replica of the original Colt.
It's a bit of a pain having to load it by hand but at least this type of shooting is still legal...
(at the moment!)
I have yet to decide on the type of rifle but currently use my club's .38/357 Marlin.
