Thread: Hello

New member and prospective firearms owner here. Looking for a new hobby as I get older beyond computers and low n slow BBQ. Applied for my licence a few weeks ago. Hoping to get it within the next couple of months, but will take a philosophical view if I need to wait. Seems to be a bit of a backlog at the moment, and the firearms safety courses near me seem quite booked up.

Very keen to get into non-competitive target shooting as well as plinking and controlling a rabbit plague on a family member's Manawatu farm. I ran across this forum while researching 22lr rifles. There seems to be a nice active community here which I hope can help with advice and stupid newbie questions in the future!
