    An interesting video by the Forgotten weapons channel on youtube, on the RIC Enfield carbine.

    I enjoy that channel, some really interesting artefacts and their historical context.

    Brilliant channel alright, as well it's sister channel InRange. Have never even held a rifle myself but really enjoy the videos.

    Just me expressing my amazement that a poster with almost 13,000 posts writes on a shooting forum that he/she has never ever held a rifle - nothing personal.

    Just saying I really like the channel(s) despite not really having any involvement in shooting.

    Try and get out to a range some time. You'll find shooting to be great fun and the community very welcoming, generally speaking... :rolleyes:

    Many clubs have days for newcomers and the Harbour House Sports Club in Kildare has days specially set aside for "Women on Target."

    Some of us cycle too. Although, I must admit I have to get back on the Dura-Ace equipped carbon Trek one of these days! ;)

    I just checked with our club membership secretary, and found that 25% of our club membership of 420 are female, aged from eight up to, ahem, slightly over seventy, or so.

    I use a bicycle to go to the village store - it's just over a mile each way, and back up a 3/4-mile-long hill. Does that count?
