So the most common types ... Feel free to share your discipline and any equiptment you own/usually use Rifle - Target shooting/Biathlon ShotGun - Skeet/Trap Pistol - Target/Pentathlon Archery Crossbow
I've always been one for a spot of Clay pigeon shooting and the usual range shooting for pistols/rifles if i get a chance when abroad Have a wee collection of an O/U [Perazzi] a Semi [Mossberg] Pump [Benelli] and a S/S Baikal

I have to agree with clay pigeon shooting I have a Remington shotgun, a live Walther p99 handgun (i have a licence),a colt m1911(deactivated and drilled), a colt .45(a live piece mainly for display) (i keep it pinless) and an ak47 (deactivated and lead loaded)

Is this in the UK or abroad? I've heard of very very few people out side of the armed forces who privately own hand guns let alone one like that..? Out of curiosity are the de-activated ones pre or post '95 spec?
I'm pretty sure no archer would ever say they did 'shooting'. It's a totally different sport.
Sigh, you do know there is a character limit on the title right? Plus Archery still involves 'shooting' the Arrow/Quarrel. And its under the same section on wiki.. :P

in the UKI have family in high-end security so I managed to get one by joining their companythe colt was deactivated in 1954 in the US and the ak47 was deactivated in in 1998 in Poland

Hmm might I ask what purpose it serves then, i imagine places to let it off are limited to military/police ranges? I imagine a fairly basic deac then given the date/country?

pretty much but it is fun and I would use it in security if I had to yes and no basic I could likely reactivate the colts with the right parts but the AK is solid lead from the magazine through the chamber to the barrel

Hmm lof course me not knowing which AK you have as different ones made in various countries used different materials to an extent I do wonder that if its simply had molten lead poured down it you couldnt simply heat the barrel and the lead would flow out? Doubtless bad for the barrell at any rate but steel vs. lead melting point and all... naturally a hypothetical question due to legality

it could be possible but I don't know if anything was done to the mechanism before the lead was poured not to mention the magazine looks to be jammed by the lead so it would take some time to get it right if it worked at all not to mention I have £300 into it and I haven't seen another one on the market here since I bought my one

Mmm i'd be surprised if the firing pin hadnt been sanded off and breach block drilled through which is rather hard to come back from without a replacement. Interesting about the magazine though i cant think of any reason to disable that beyond why the hell not ha. AK47's? They're common as dirt on the gun trading sites, de-activated that is. Although its origin etc. will undoubtedly be different.

exactly it would be more time and cost than it's worth to consider repairing not to mention the legality seems like it was done for the sake of it the only reason i can think of is to do with balancing the weight out they are quite common it depends on the variant as my one is different the wood is a lighter colour than others and it is cleaner aesthetically it looks almost unused until it was filled with lead

I did archery for several years. It's nothing like shooting. Just because one place on the internet groups them together doesn't mean they're similar. I could group football, rugby, netball, hockey, basketball, polo, cricket, volleyball etc. together as team ball sports. Doesn't make them all similar sports

What type of bow did you have? I did archery for 5 years where I was a compound archer.

Are you seriously trying to argue the toss over a non-point? We are all perfectly aware firing an arrow is somewhat different from discharging a 12G. It was simply easier to put them both in the title instead of creating two threads.
