A few hours out with Davyt63 tonight


Recommended Posts

to be fair simon, i know exactly how you feel about the magsbeing little more than adverts, although i think airgun world has improved hugely over the last year, but i feel your honesty would set you apart from all of that nonsense and your love of the countryside,in particular your own little slice of heaven would make for a great read, very much in the style of the much missed and never equalled john darling.

 

do a test article and see what happens mate, not like you've owt to lose is there? :thumbs:

 

all the very best, wurz

If I remember rightly Si(Zini) was contacted by a magazine not so long ago but can't remember which about doing some articles. If the two "Si's" got together I think it would make for a hell of a read!!

Wow hey Gentlemen thank you each one and all for the kind responses to this outing. It's only a shame we couldn't have spent longer out, or the bag would be much bigger I'm sure. I know exactly where you will be static next time Davy :whistling: ; a good hot-spot that, on that particular field. That leaves me with another I know of to cover :whistling::thumbs: ! Si might be right, your kill could have dropped into a hole, there's more than enough of them around there. It'll have joined my woodpidgeon on Charley's freebie dinner mooch by now if it didn't.

 

An airgun Journalist. God Wurz I'd love that mate, I really would. Maybe I should write a letter to the editors together with a test article; see what they think? Ive certainly got a great permission here to write from. The trouble I see with the current two mags are that they sing the praises of every piece of tat and duff scope, pellet and rifle that comes along because they want the manufacturers spending money on the advertising spaces. If I shot with a rifle that was pure poop, I'd have to find whatever positives I could to say for it, as a plinker alone. That's why I treat much of what they publish with a healthy dose of scepticism. I wonder if I could provide a more honest approach, as John Darling always did. No names but some I've read nowadays are a bloody waste of print.

 

I can only say it is a really marvellouse thing to be able to meet with, shoot with and discuss shooting with some terrific lads on this forum who are really into their sport and do it with a brilliant skill and knowledge that leaves me feeling a right lemon among the pros.

 

Reading about Darryl and Gary's lamping night rabbit foray into the heavy snow last winter was a bloody inspirational piece. The vids of them ferreting and shooting together I thoroughly enjoy. I would be more than delighted to make a run north to meet you two lads and shoot with you both. Thanks Gary that's really kind of you to offer mate. :thumbs:

 

All the very best for now.

 

Simon

 

 

 

 

John Darling...... The Legend, Proper down to earth Bloke, loved his Articles and not full of Shit like these current Airgun writers. I also think you should do an articlefor one of the Airgun mags, As your style of writing appeals to alot of the Forum Members.

And not Biased Drivel that their waffling on about with there .122 Hatstand barndoor shooter used by Noodle arms "snipers".
