In england I had a license, ive just got my minors permit here in aus. And the reason I need a .22 is that I shoot in a .22 club, Ive been shooting for years and am aiming for the nationals, in a few years.

nice, i set a record skeet shooting, 99 out of 100 hits :D too bad my parents are too parinoid about me getting hurt to realize i need a gun to further my abilities :(
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

99%! Damn thats amazing. You should be getting major training. I used to shoot air rifles a lot, I went in the areas championship (all the clubs nearby tookpart). I went into the junior. I had been shooting for 2 weeks (I was 10) and won the championship. I was aginst like 16 year olds that had been shooting for 6-7 years. That was the start of my shooting obssesivness, hence spudguns! My parents are cool with it, they realise I love shooting and am fairly good at it so they put the time and money in to it. Its about the only thing Im good at these days!

Holy heck beebs! That's insane! I love skeet shooting, although I'm not very good. I got 11 out of 15 on Wednesday.

12 gauge shotgun that they have at my camp, this was last october, im actually going back to the camp this sunday, i spent the previous week before that at my local firing range, pumping box after box of bird shot at those damn targets, i guess it payed off, i spent $40 on shells the previos week and payed 20 for the shells at camp(yeah, they have to make a fucking profit) and i just fired away, and set the camp record, which the firearms instructior could not believe :D i had another good experience with guns, about 1 month ago, but this time it was at an FBI event that my uncle got me hooked up with.
He does forensic science and he has a couple buddies "up top" so he got me into a "civillian training" program where we went to a bunch of demonstrations and did some target shooting. i shoot pretty good groups at the torso and the head, using an mp5 and a glock9, with only a few stray shots with the glock when i jerked the trigger. ive got to say that shooting a 7" grouping with 30 rounds of full automatic with the mp5 did give me a feeling of extreme joy, along with an adreneline rush. :D! hopefully, my parents will stop being retarted and buy me a 12 gauge for my birthday, and then i can go into the olympics or something :roll: mayb the army will be in need of a sharpshooter in 4 years, in 2 days, im going out to the 600 yd range with a scoped .50 cal and ill see how accurate i am :P

lol .50 cal guns are huge... i remember a few years ago when i was younger my uncle who hunts recreationally, took me out for my first time with a 12 gauge let alone any real gun, i went home that night in such pain with a huge black and blue all the way up my arm because i was unsure how to properly hold it, the gun was also bigger than i was lol. But yea, real guns are great fun just they are not used for a good purpose such as war... Gl with that 50 cal, tell me how the recoil is on that thing the bullets are big arent they. o wait i actually have an empty 50 cal round in my room, pointy tip ^^

if you're talking about the barrett, the recoil isnt as bad as you would imagine, the muzzle brake takes care of alot of it, if its something without a brake or any type of recoil system, then yeah, you'll really feel it.
