Just to chime in here, if you do progress and want some bigger hardware/lenses - I use MPB.com and go for their used kit. I got a 24-105mm Canon lens, used and it was in mint condition.
 
Currently using a Canon 7D, but am looking to grab a used 5D MKIII at some point.

Going for my first visit on 10th March having been to The Village a few times - really looking forward to it 👍

No word of a lie, I've seen this done - in university we had some cheapo BB guns (shooting each other, what else) they were springers with 0.12 yellow BBs. I had an M16, a mate had an SA-80. We were sat watching TV and there was a big bluebottle buzzing around which landed high up on the window - he took aim down the iron sights, about 5 metres away, direct hit. The thing exploded up the window.

Not a bad idea at all - I'll be the one playing with a scalpel blade cutting up a small bit of rubber - first aid kit on standby! 😨

I'm also trying this over the weekend for the first time too - I'm using a madbull hop unit and I 60 degree Shark hop bucking. I'm going to do the DIY approach of using a rubber eraser as a hop nub and see how I get on. We should compare notes 😅

Try not to get too carried away, this hobby can get expensive pretty fast 😅 just seen you're in the North East, I might pay that site a visit when I'm up to see my parents at some point, they're just down the road in Durham!
