Only shooting l did back in the UK was in the reserves. Was almost impossible for me to get licensed due to some naughty behavior when young.
Though when l moved to Canada l had no issues getting my non-restricted (semi auto rifles/rifles/shotguns) and restricted (pistols/short barreled semi-autos/AR15,s etc).
Currently have a descent size collection, though l focus on WW1/WW2 firearms and 19th century black powder.
l am also in a rural area and with 160 acres of land that my house sits on unfortunately l am right next to a town of 400 people so only shoot shotguns/black powder firearms on my land. I can legally shoot 500 meters away from the nearest house in town but it will only cause trouble and unwanted attention if l start blasting away with rifles.
My father in law farms around 5000 acers around the town and further away, so l have a range setup on some remote land that allows me to shoot steel gongs/targets out to 1000+ yards.
Currently have the following.
Winchester model 12 shotgun (28 inch barrel 12 gauge)
Remington 870 (18 and 12 inch barrels 12 gauge)
Cooey model 39 (bolt 22lr)
Savage Mark II heavy barrel (bolt 22lr)
Pietta little badger (singe shot 22 mag)
Pietta PPS50 (semi auto 22lr) *ppsh 41 copy*

Mossburg MVP (bolt 5.56)
VZ58 (semi auto 7.62x39)
x3 Russian SKS`s (semi auto 7.62x39)
Chinese SKS (semi auto 7.62x39)
AR102 (semi auto 7.62x51)
CZ 557 Ranger (bolt 7.62x51)

1942 Mosin–Nagant Model 1891/30 Sniper (bolt 7.62x54R) *for sure has seen combat, Stalingrad maybe?*

Only pistol l had was a 1911A1 government in 45 ACP but l sold that a few years ago as l couldn't legally shoot it on my land. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

I got back into archery pre-pandemic, there's a great little club near me that basically have their own wooded hillside. I went down the traditional route and got as far as making my own arrows (but not my own bows). If you're looking at competition I found that field and 3d archery are loads more fun than target archery, though decent clubs and shoots for them are rarer.
I've shot a load of different firearms in other countries, but I've only ever done clay pigeon in the UK really. I went a few weeks ago with some friends and they let us try a 3-shot pump action which was good fun. I have a couple of friends who are gun club members but it's not worth the hassle involved, for me. I do wish there were ranges in the UK, like the US (and elsewhere), where you can just go and try a load of different guns under close supervision. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Done a bit of .22 on police ranges.
SLR and GPMG on ranges.
That's it.
"With a magazine of 20 rounds, load!"
"10 rounds deliberate fire, 10 rounds rapid. Fire!"
"Weapon firing, weapon stops!"
Cock, hook and look. Rounds in the magazine, no rounds in the chamber.
Release working parts, carry on firing.
"Weapon firing, weapon stops again!"
Cock, hook and look. Rounds in the magazine, no rounds in the chamber.
Something about two clicks on the gas plug.

I'm an NSRA Club Instructor for air rifle & pistol. I'm good, but not the best - usually at about 10% (if there are 300 entrants, I'll be around 30th) in the national championships I go to annually (not the last 2 years, for some reason...). I can teach you well though! ____________________ Honda Varadero 125cc => Suzuki Bandit 650 33bhp => 77bhp =>

Whatever the question, an Ithaca M37 pump action shot gun is usually the answer.
I have several scatterguns, a semi auto, 2 M37s and a bolt action .410. For balance, the Mrs also owns a semi auto.
Only shoot clays but only use the pump action too, gets some odd looks at the clay ground but it's just so much fun and worth it for the sound alone. ____________________ VFR800X - TTR250 |

Recently, well within the last couple of years, a black powder 18th century duelling pistol. I'm glad it wasn't a real duel as well as I missed.
Edited to add, I have a pistol crossbow set up to shoot fish on my boat. Does that count? ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
