Gez 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I've just joined up to the forum and thought it polite to introduce myself. I'm a complete novice when it comes to shooting live quarry. I have a friend who is an instructor at a rifle range who has offered to improve my shooting,and have spent a lot of time stalking deer when i was younger, but have never shot one. My uncle lives in Germany and owns the shooting rights to large areas of land with both deer and wild boar, and is high up in the local hunting committee. From a very small age he has taken me out hunting with him, starting from sitting in a high seat or hide, and as i got older moving onto actual stalking. However as we only used to visit once a year, he never got the chance to teach me to shoot well enough to take a rifle on the hunt myself. I have always loved spending the time on the hunt with him, but could never really afford to get into hunting at home. However, now I'm a bit older, this has changed and my enthusiasm hasn't wained, so I thought its about time i bit the bullet (if you pardon the pun!) and took advantage of the opportunities open to me. I have signed up for DSC 1 as a starting point to learn more about the different species of deer, their behaviour, identifying them, the law etc. and I am taking up my friend's offer to teach me to shoot well. After that I want to progress onto DSC 2 along with gaining my FAC, buying my first gun and hopefully making friends with and joining in with the local deer stalking community. Of course I also want to be able to hunt with my uncle, and thought that I would be best off if I could go over there and prove that I am already a competent shot have taken the time to learn everything properly, and have at least a few recorded kills under my belt in the presence of an assessor. (I can get return flights to see him for about the same as a day's guided deer stalking locally, and there we can go out as many times as I lik during my stay!)
