Guys, thanks for your replies you have been really helpful.
It's difficult knowing where to start trying to get into the sport of shooting, i feel it would be a really good hobby and i'm at that stage in life when i can afford to do it now (e.g. cost of equipment, maintenance, cartridges etc).
I'm also interested in getting my dad involved, something we can do together, we didnt really spend much time together when i was younger but we just didnt like the same things.
I guess i could get the land cleared at the farm for a shotgun and i suppose i could get the shotgun licence when applying for section 1 firearms licence?
A friend at work has just recently bought a Beretta 410 shotgun for clays.
I am interested in foxing, rabbiting and possibly (eventually) deer stalking but the trouble seems to be that you need land to get the licence, and you need a fair large chunk of land in the middle of nowhere to be able to get a decent calibre e.g .243
I seem to be struggling to break into the sport and i'm not really sure where to start. My worst fear is that i buy a .22 rifle only to get hooked on the sport, look for larger areas and in a years time wish i had got a larger rifle and hence more cost.
How do people go on when deer stalking, being tied to the same piece of land all of the time? and they have to get that land cleared? (someone elses land i guess).
Sorry to be a nuisance but i could just do with a bit of guidance on what and where you think i should go next with this. Do you know any places i could go to use a .243 rifle? I guess just being a member of a rifle club doesnt have "good reason" to own a rifle?
Sorry to be a pain, just wondering where to start out and how.
