well hunting is banned in india now however clay pigeon shooting is becoming more popular now . it is hard to purchase british and american makes these days however most belgian and spanish makes are easy to purchase. most of the guns in my family are pretty old . <yes i come from along line of hunters> my grandfather was a hunting nut and in one of my ancestral homes you'll find scores of tiger and leopard skins on the walls along with photographs and deer trophies a tribute to the colonial days in india .<again i'll try to post photos> . even though most of our guns our old they are in good condition although i only use my dads westley richards<15 yrs old now>. thank you for the warm welcome me and all the shots in our family are 16 bore fans.
cheers. |

well in the 1980's hunting was banned in india because it was going out of control . however cull hunts for wild boar and nilgai< a blue antelope similar to the african eland> . well my fathers westley richards is 15 yrs old < a year older than me>. however in my grandfathers house , i was told he has an antique 16 bore however i have never seen it but my father has so i know it exists. once again thanks for the warm welcome. if i can i will try to post pics . but i'm in berlin for a few months and my westley richards is in india however i will take pics on my next visit<this summer>.
cheers.  |
