Hampshire Tog 0 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi, everyone, I’m Bob and new to the forum. I have recently rediscovered air gunning after an absence of ummm.. some decades. Wow, air rifles have changed since my old Diana model 27. Cue a lot of youtube watching. Honestly, were I to go on Mastermind, I think my specialist subject right now would be the collected works of Ted’s Holdover https://www.youtube.com/user/EdgunUSA, Air Arms Hunting SA https://www.youtube.com/user/MoshDubber and Vermin Hunters TV https://www.youtube.com/user/VerminHuntersTV - BIG thanks all for the tips and advice gents. Also, after some expert advice from the good folk of Lamberts of Ringwood http://www.gunsofringwood.co.uk and The Sportsmans Gun Centre in Dorchester http://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk I have got back into it. My other hobby is photography, hence the user name Hampshire Tog. I do most of my shooting at Lains Shooting School http://www.lainsshootingschool.co.uk outside Andover. It’s a great little facility and a very friendly crowd. I’ve also shot at Ford Ranges in West Sussex http://www.fordranges.co.uk and the 25 yard indoor range run by The Gun Shop in Botley http://thegunshopbotley.comCan anyone recommend any other air rifle shooting ranges in Hampshire/Dorset/West Sussex? Also, can anyone recommend any HFT courses where you can practice on a non-competitive basis to get used to the sport before maybe joining a club? Also, and I know this is the holy grail of such forums (so you may all have a snigger at my naivety), if anyone has a permission in Hampshire and is looking for a shooting buddy, drop me a line. I have a Land Rover Defender so can get most places.Many thanks in advance for any advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanS 3 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hello Nice to see another Hampshire shooter on here. As for HFT clubs i used to belong here: http://www.mvac.co.uk/ They used to be an excellent club when i shot there a few years back but since getting my FAC the air rifle doesn't get much use. As for permissions, they are VERY thin on the ground in Hampshire. Recently lost my main permission after it was sold for development and only have an air rifle perm left but that sadly has very few things to shoot since we cleared it a few years back.
