Thread: Hello from the 09

I did a lot of Air Rifle target shooting in my younger years and have always carried an interest in getting back into some form of shooting.
My main interest is to get away form my office and spend some time in the outdoors with friends already very into hunting, and hopefully visit a range on a regular basis. Learning the ins and outs of accurate long distance shooting is up there on my bucket list (if anyone has information to a starting point for this / training / instruction I would appreciate the info). Is this even possible around Auckland?

I am a bit of a information sponge and have spent likely far to many hours researching what my first purchase will be (after security) and quite like the look of the Howa rifles as a place to start.

Looking forward to reading through these forums and learning more about what and who is around.

Cheers

welcome Tim i too like the Howa i have two of them and they both shoulder well. tried selling the 3006 but had no takers so will probably keep it and start reloading for it. that's another addiction you may succumb to as well as a shrinking gun cupboard.
