I was introduced to this site by Hungry, very glad to finally get set up on something like this.

I have always been interested in shooting as I am an avid hunter but never really had the resources to properly do it. I have been navigating this site for a few days now learning my way around and so far I think I will be able to find all the help I need! I just need to figure out what type of shooting I want to get into if not all!

I am working on getting my restricted PAL, I have my non-restricted. But I lack knowledge on what rifles are considered restricted etc etc. As far as I know its mainly barrell lenght isnt it?

It is nice getting on here, and I hope to become a better shooter every year from now on!

Thanks Hungry, and I hope to meet alot of you.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and thanks for the info prproulx. Barks; I usually hunt deer, moose and partridge as much as I can. Usually try and make it out for waterfowl when I find the time to go to white lake or near the arnprior area. Though, with work it has been quite difficult to make it out much the last year or so. And dizzy dan, would I know you? Or would you be ready for your fishing trip yet?

Thanks again guys,
