A MEET UP WITH WEEKENDRIFLE


Recommended Posts

As the title suggests this was an arrangement to meet up with Tony (aka Weekendrifle a member off THL but he is mainly into air rifle shooting. I answered a post of Tony's asking for some assistance with his permission but offered to take him with us on all my permissions, i had arranged with Tony that i would meet up with him on the Tues 02.0812 which turned out to be 4 days after i ended up in hospital with Pulmonary Embolisms, Tony was informed of my problem and from that day whilst in Hospital Tony text me almost every day, This was from a lad that i had never met, i knew from the offset that he was a good un just from his initial post. Alan W and myself arranged to take Tony on one of my permissions near were he lives last Monday to do some Rabbiting. Tony met up with us as arranged but sadly had to leave, he was asked to return to the Barracks, Tony's in the Army and as just got back from Afghanistan. Anyway as he left i made arrangements to ring him and arrange another meet up which was Yesterday, me and my 2 mates Alan W and Alan B took him pigeon shooting, there weren't many about but he managed to get one we all ended up with some shooting but did not get many. it was more to get to know him and he turned out to be a grand lad friendly likes a joke very easy to get on with as all of us are. He loved the day so much we are going out again on Wednesday all of us weather permitting, sorry i did not get any footage as it was more of an introduction for him, we will be going on a stubble field that i know as quite a few Pigeons on so i should get some video done, Tony is hooked and now says he'll apply for a SGC Till next time : Dave

      Hi, 
      I've recently moved to St Neots, Cambridgeshire and looking for an area or a bit of land where the owner requires help with pigeons etc. This is solely for fun and not my full time job. 
       
      Please let me know, if you or someone you know would let me shoot a few pigeons/rats for them in this sort of area.
       
      Many thanks 
      Tom

      Morning all
       
        Apologies if this has been covered previously, I have obviously missed it if it has been.
         I would just like to ask if anyone has given the A-TEC shot gun silencer a real test on the pigeons ( Full day). If you have can you let me know how it effected your shooting, if at all, or did you get to grips with it quite quick. I would be looking to use standard 32g no6 loads.
        The permission we currently shoot is shrinking rapidly due to new housing estates popping up so I am looking at all options with a view to upsetting as few people as possible. I would also be looking to use on Geese if they are OK , and I am aware that they recommend a max load of 43g through the A-TEC.
          Thanks in advance

      Hello, I've recently moved to the Norfolk area and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to getting permission to shoot on some local landowners land. I'm from and currently serve in the british army and know how to shoot well with my own kit. I do have some hunting experience and i'm also a BASC member to which comes with insurance. Any help would be appreciated.
