fret78 87 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 This guy has shot at my local airgun range (idleback in Rotherham) the guy there who has helped me out no end, Paul, has done a lot of training with him and today they're closing the range down. Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it. But Ben is an absolute legend, and if you don't feel proud to be British when you meet him the you don't deserve to be British.. Well done Ben, top man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
