However, as a committed "eco terrorist" i don't much care about that, i am looking at killing ability only. Not only do they kill well they are cheap! I can hear the ears pricking "in't north east" as we speak. It is only thirty pound to have the bore opened up by a proper gunsmith in Sandbach. I sent Three sxs guns to be opened up ready for steel.

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 It’s my first day tomorrow, I can’t believe it’s come around this quick. Pegs put out , vehicles clean . Strings cut . Boots polished , suit out of the dry cleaners. Horn polished ( go on Ben , make some innuendo) . Hopefully the birds will be where I want them and they fly well . I’m sure the birds will be good , I just can’t account for the marksmanship of the team . I think there are a few guests out , so I’m not expecting great shooting. Wish me luck 8 Quote Link to post

I was saying to the shoot captain today that unless we get some cold weather I’d happily cancel our first day ( 1st Saturday in November) and shoot every Saturday in January to get the days in, he said he’d leave it up to me, so we’ll see what the next 4 weeks bring 1 Quote Link to post

We shoot nearly every Saturday in the season. It’s just a case of cramming the days in . 1 Quote Link to post
