Thread: New old guy here

Hello all!

New to this forum, but used to be on the huntnfish forum before it shut down.
I see some familiar names here! Glad, I found it.
I´ve been fishing since I could hold a rod. For the past 12 or so years I`m more into hunting. Not too far away from home I have the lease
for a small hunting block where we mainly shoot roe deer and pigs.
I´m also interested in reloading and knifemaking.
Please excuse my bad English - it´s not my mother tongue!

Cheers
Christian

Welcome Christian

Any pics of what your typical hunting set-up and area looks like would be great, it's always interesting to see how other people do the same thing
What calibre are you hitting the pigs with?
Is 7x57 still common in Germany?

Cheers

Hi 308,

I think, as a newbe to the forum I can´t post any pics yet.
We mainly shoot 8x57is and use 180 grain bonded bullets. 7x57 seems not to be too common anymore these days.Too many calipers, too many options!

Cheers
Christian

Good to have you on board Christian. Welcome. I get to Germany fairly regularly but in Fish Head county further north ( Luebeck). I’m a walnut and blue man so I always enjoy poking around looking at high class rifles and gear when I’m there.
Also be interested to hear about your knifemaking interests.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome

100 yrs on and still a go to calibre........
got to appreciate that

@Southcity
Walnut and blue has always a certain appeal!
I will post a few images of knives once I can do that.
@Rushy
Thanks for the head up.
Can’t emphasize these rules too much!
@Mathias
Now that name sounds like you are out of the same corner
@scotty
That is our form of progress😂

welcome aboard....there are a few knife makers who post regularly,another one will be most welcome.... agree 100% photos needed LOL.
dont worry your engrish is just fine..its a mongrel bastardised launguage at the best of times and it seems to be constantly evolving /morphing each year with text lingo being added in as common speech, nek minute, its acceptable everywhere.

I see what you did there MD.
