You will enjoy it I am sure.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

I will save the Shadow for you. You won't get a better entry gun for the price.

Couldnt agree more - shadows are great, and r93's is both good price and works very well.
If your down timaru way, at any point ( any day of week), give me a shout/pm and i'll try and take you out down here (just to show you a rough range... Unlike cpc.
)

Just be mindful that r93's grips are a bit longer than normal, to account for the 6th finger.....

If I'm out I'll keep an eye out, although I doubt you will be the only tall balding guy so will look for the goatee

Had a good time at the pistol club. Bit different shooting at a proper range rather than going for a blast down the river. Only got to fire 15 .22 rounds. 2 didn't seem to make it on the paper and the others were grouping to the right, so plenty to improve on. Good to have a chat to @Uplandstalker there.

It is certainly a bucket load of fun Stug and quite interesting when you miss something at 25 metres that you can hit at 1000 metres with a long range rifle.
