Hello everybody, I am a clay and target shooter from Italy.
I am not a hunter, but since my sporting license will expire soon, I am thinking of applying for a hunting license in the next future. In my family we have a long bloodline of hunters, but unfortunately I moved away from my birthplace for work and now that they could be helping me getting started, I am living too far away from them.
My shooting hobby started following a personal interest for history and firearms marking the path of humans throughout history, but recently my interest started to lean towards hunting weapons, and I lost my mind for fine bespoke stuff like a Westley Richards Droplock 12 gauge shotgun I got by selling my collection of handguns.
I always enjoyed outdoors activities, but probably this turning point was mainly due to the recent discovery of my love for hunting literature too: I got my hands on some classic safari hunting books and I was blown away by the romanticized figure of big game hunters of the past going to Africa wilderness, so I started dreaming of such adventures.
Anyway I have been a long time reader of this forum because of all the precious discussions I bumped across more than once, while seeking info around the internet about exotic big game firearms and their cartridge ballistics, terminal performances, ecc.
So, since I dream of buying a fine safari double rifle quite as much as I dream of going to Africa someday, I chose to subscribe to the forum in the meantime to get access to more entertaining safari content to read in my free time.
May all of you be safe out there on you journeys.
