Anyone Willing To Show Me The Ropes?

[Matt Smith 143]

I know this is a bit of a wing and a prayer...

Is there anyone in the North East that has their own permission or land, willing to show me the ropes and teach me a few tricks?

I'm 100% not after your permission, I'm 40 years old, so not some daft kid, I'll do exactly what I'm told, I'm as green as grass and I'm just looking for guidance. I'm a quick learner, thick skinned and don't mind having the piss taken out of me.

After I gain some experience under someone else's wing, I'll then look for something myself.

I know it's a long shot but hey, shy bairnes get now't.

Matt if you weren't across the water I would gladly tag you along, so there gotta be someone. Welcome to the forum mate. Ask any questions you want and you will get the answers I'm sure. Great bunch of lads on here. Have you done any shooting at all with your rifle? I take it it's set up?

Craig, my old man was in the forces for 32 years and was a shooting instructor. Both myself and my brother were taught to shoot from about the age of 7, obviously I've only ever done target shooting.

 

A few months ago I suddenly got the urge to take up shooting again after about 20 years away.

 

I know how to shoot, but shooting on a range is far different to shooting in the field.

Ill second that mate, me being an ex royal marine and all, a lot to learn but it comes on quickly enough! I'm sure someone will be able to help, like I said if I was around your way I would gladly take you out(you probably shoot better than me anyway haha!)

Mac, that's very kind of you. I know you're helping Daz out, so didn't think for a minute that you'd even consider it.
