Another relaxing Hobby was Pistol Shooting which I took up while I was in
Northam.
 |
You
had to belong to a Pistol club to be able to own hand guns so I
joined the Northam Pistol Club.
As with everything I do I had a bit
of a collection but can't remember the names/types of
pistols but I had a target pistol with the wrap around grip
(the one April is using in the photo) a Saturday night
special with nice grips, a pistol for rapid fire, an air
pistol and a couple of others.
I also had a couple of rifles which
I used to take out the back of Bourke and shoot cans
with.
Never could shoot anything that was
alive but. Left.

When I stopped going to the pistol club I had to
either hand in my pistols or sell them so I opted for the latter and
it was around this time that they passed a law on rifles. You had to
hand in your rifles if you didn't belong to a rifle club or have a
good reason to use them so I sold them as well.
