Hi and welcome. It will be interesting to see your perspective on things.

Looks like you're doing fine to me! Keep at it! Welcome and enjoy

One of my friends goes there regularly for a day out. He says it is the most beautiful place he knows. Lucky you! Welcome, and enjoy!

Welcome, and good luck. Well done with your target shooting!

Damned right!

Good luck! I hope it gives you many hours of fun!
