    New member from FL.


    Glad to be part of the forum. Been living in FL for around 22 years now (originally from UK). Started shooting .22 back in England when I was about 15. Used to shoot in a national league National smallbore Rifle association. But only used to shoot prone using a single point sling.
    Did not shoot for 30+ years as I was using most of my adult time involved in the world of water skiing. I was a member of the Great Britain Barefoot ski team in the eighties and drove internationally for 3-event ski tournaments.
    Now I am in my sixties, I decided to get back into shooting as its a lot easier on this old body !.....I started with handguns and enjoy them very much (they are completely outlawed back in the UK).
    My most recent purchase was a Savage B22 Precision rifle.
    I am having great fun with it and continue to try and get better with each trip to the range. As with most things I do, I like to "Tinker", so I shall no doubt be accessorizing my new toy .
    look forward to sharing and gaining knowledge from other members here.

    Thanks, we did not have many barefoot boats back in the UK during the 80's, so nearly all my training was behind a master craft pro star or Nautique 2001. Certainly made wake slalom a challenge !! Seems to have come a long way now with the super low wake outboards and sky high pylons !
    I do most of my Rifle shooting at the Knights trail gun range in Sarasota.
