Meece 1,957 Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 The lad will remember things from this day for a long time. My girls used to come with me and sometimes when they were much older they recalled things that had happened that I had forgotten. 3 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,814 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yeah, he is kept well out the way of the line, we have not managed to level anyone with a bird yet, but last year my guest did manage to drop a bird onto one of the shoot members new car, that will teach him not to walk to his peg Quote Link to post

That’s the one thing I really like about this shoot is the amount of kids that come, not just to beat but to shoot as well ( under supervision ) there’s not many kids about that you can get out the house in all weather at 6 in the morning, so we need to look after this lot 1 1 Quote Link to post
