Hello to all
      #3264 - 09/06/2008 10:32

Just signed up on here and thought I would say hello.
I have up to now shot only air rifles and taken many a rabbit over the last couple of years.
I live on Teesside and would be grateful if someone could recommend a local full/smallbore club to get me started in that area, as I would like to go for my FAC.Also a bit of clay pigeon advoce would not go wrong!!
Thanks for any help given. John

There are quite a few similar threads on here, so have a search around as there are other chaps that have commented on other threads that know much more than I do.

Most of them seem to say that the most important thing seems to be having somewhere suitable to shoot(i.e. police approved). Others have also said you should not aim to get a large caliber rifle to start off with, and you should aim to start with something like a .22 then work up with time.

Some have also said that it might be easier to get a shotgun licence then wait a year or two and apply for the FAC. I assume this is meant to show that you have experience with guns.
