Hello from Hyderabad

Hello everyone,

Glad to be a part of the forums. My name is Subhan but I go by the screen name K1eaner (Gaming/online name). I've had an interest in long range shooting for a while and wanted to get into it, so here I am. Going to get a local made .177 Air gun and join the local rifle club in Gachibowi (if it's still there).

I see a lot of the members have imported weapons from abroad and I've read how you've done it, will give that a try later on (when my finances give me permission) also wanted to go about applying for a firearms license. For now, will ease into this exiting hobby.

Cheers.

Edit: Don't know if this will show, but I've been replying and posting on this thread. I guess I need to wait for a mod to give me posting rights.

Welcome to IFG,

Yes Gachibowli shooting range is still going well. There are lot of shops in Hyderabad for Indian air guns.

Thank you StamMaster.

Will go there soon then :D. I see that there's a trading section in these forums, but no one's offering anything. Would be nice if some members are willing to part with their old air guns. I wouldn't mind paying for a used one. Local or international. Give it a bit of spit and shine, oil it and use it.

I'd much rather experiment on a used gun with respect to how it works and maintenance than on a new one :D.

Welcome buddy.
Indian or imported, what's important is that you enjoy the sport. From where in Hyderabad are you?

Near Gulf bakery, at the bowenpally crossroads. We've lived here all my life, well, since 1995 that is. Where do you live? Location on your profile says Misrigunj.
