Hello from the UK

Post by charlieportlock » Sat Feb 06, 2016 10:56 pm

Namaste ji everybody,

I'm Charlie. I write in the UK shooting press and I'm a big fan of India (I've been three times and my Grandfather was born there). I'm just looking to connect with the Indian shooting community and hopefully to learn more about shooting in India, specifically about Air Gunning as I have a monthly column in UK magazine Air Gunner and I'd love to come out one day and do a story in India.

Anyway, hello from England!

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Past AG and AGW subscriber here.

Old Terry Doe is a particularly good friend of mine. Tell him Dodger (from Bangalore, India) says hello.

Whenever you make it to these shores make sure you drag the blighter along.

Hi Charlie.
Congratulations on being featured in the BASC magazine.
I had read the article in your website too but this publication will help a lot of new and expert shooters ESP the traffic light signal for bunny behaviour
