3 Rapids In Use


Recommended Posts

20160430_172708_zpspw62djj2.jpg keeper phoned and asked if I could get a few "responsible " lads together to sort a very very large rookery out up in Northumberland , with it being either side of a country lane and adjoining a horsey type farm we could only use air rifles -I phoned 2 mates [rapid lads] and we arrived at 7.30 am and left at 5.00 pm most were " branchers" but a few adults were shot to add to the tally along with a few ferals the stoat was found in a gin trap inside an old barn 108 in total leaving both keeper and land owner pleased -ps some one wanted the birds for eating so I was happy with that and plenty left for future trips -billy

Great days shooting and that's the kind of pic you see on the shotgun pigeon days over stubble so it's great to see such a successful bag claimed by air rifles and responsible shooters. Well done lads??

I think they are making a few "brancher" pies mate lol -land owner asked that we put them in his cold room so I guess he had a use for them -ferals were for keepers Larson traps and to feed his ferrets
