Greetings from a week old new comer

Dear members and moderators of the forum, salutations!
I am a 62 year old practicing Chartered Accountant with offices at Delhi and Kolkata and hover between these two cities for my professional work most of the year.
My interests, other than my professional matters, are largely in languages, literature, history, photography and calligraphy.
Another hobby, quit for over 3 decades now, that just has occupied my interest, a few weeks back is practicing air gun shooting for aim only. I did have an active and a passionate interest in the past, and had an Model 45 AR and a smooth bore underlever airgun that had got me a deadly accuracy by active use. Of course I did not use them for small games like my friends at New Delhi did. I never killed or shot any bird or animal by their use. I was thus not much unhappy when in 1999, both these airguns got lost while relocating to Kolkata. The chapter was closed.
Recently my guide to airguns (en ex serviceman and a 12 bore DBBL enthusiast) who is a resident of New Delhi and a clay pigeon shooter, had allowed me to take a few shots on flying clay pigeons from his family heirloom 12 bore DBBL . I was successful in my third attempt. He asked me to buy and target practice with a .22 bore airgun once more.
I got to know of this forum from my internet searches on .22 airguns. I have had the good fortune of making friends with Mr. Basu my fellow Calcuttan who is a stalwart on airguns.
Thanks.
