I started doing it about 6 months ago with a mate after a bit of joking around and we both really got into it. Went down the air rifle route as its a whole lot easier than getting into full bore (firing proper bullets) because to get a proper gun you have to get registered with the police and install gun safes which would be intresting in a rented flat. There are a few clubs about but because we live about 30 mins from Bisley which aparently is the shooting capital of the UK it was a bit easier to get in with a club that has a range and guns we could try before we bought our own. Its not cheap to get started, I got all my gun and scope second hand and the air tank was shared between me and a mate and I didnt get much change from 750. But once started a tin of 500 pellets is about a fiver and refilling a scuba tank is about 7 quid and lasts long enough not to worry about. Its well worth giving it a go if you have a range nearby.

Anyways pictures are far more intresting.

View through the scope at the chimney across the road 40 yards or so (12x mag) phone struggled taking a photo but its actually crystal clear

Kinda grouping I can get at 40 yards 5 shots at each target and thats a 5p for scale (More experianced people can get far better)

Back in my day we would go out at about 4am and usually get home about 11am with a couple of rabbits and maybe a wood pigeon.
