Yanks just don't give a f**k about toy guns anymore than Brits give a f**k about which colour lower to fit to an AR! Like I say, both is completely meaningless to the other bloke......why would you bother to read about and HW90 when you can own a Barrett ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Tell ya what, I'd love to hear from any yanks that are from or have hunted Hawaii! A certain bucket list destination for me... walking around an actual set from Jurassic Park pig hunting, spearfishing, bowhunting deer. It's literally paradise!

Meece 1,957 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 3 hours ago, kanny said: The art of shot placement is lost on them That is a bit of a sweeping statement. I was watching a vid of a bloke who took an amount of .22 guns out on a range. All of the ammunition was high velocity boom bang stuff. Now as far as he was concerned about was spraying the contents of a 1500 round bucket onto a man silhouette that he had drawn on a bit of board. Now considering that he was only about 15 to 20 yards away from the target the accuracy was piss poor. Admittedly the target bad guy would have ceased being a problem but after about a hundred hits. It's just a different mindset. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I got sent some stuff, from 'Merica, once. In a random cardboard box. Like you do. And, like you do, this person had grabbed what ever junk mail was to hand, to pack it out with. You know, like we get little glossy magazines, extolling the greatness of what ever shit Lidl has in now? I think this shit was from their " Target " ~ a similar emporium of all things piled high and cheap. But; Fukk My Mouth!!! Look!!! " Just popping out, love. Need anything? " " Yeah. Just grab me a 1911 .45 ACP and an AK47, please, love. " 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theres f**k all to hunt for a start, the topography of the land is awful even if I wanted to try and kill the very few things around. If I’m honest, I’d rather feed a pheasant if I see one than shoot at it because there just are not that many......and that’s what I do now, feed them. Pigeons in my part of the world are non existent because nobody grows arable crops. Theres no rabbits, minuscule amounts of deer. The hares are again something I’d rather look at because there isn’t that many of them.......in the UK I walked on farms where there were 50 on one field.......I bet I have not seen 20 in all my travels since I lived here.

.357shooter 991 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 used to be on the marlin site but eventually all the bloody passwords pissed me off so much i could not be bothered with it.as for shot placement there is a time and a place for it.if i get my tippman out i only shoot at 25 yards rapid fire.usually about 150 rounds into about a 2.5" circle.if i get bored with 25 yards with the .357 under lever i will put the target out to 50m and can do 20shots into about a 4.5" circle.not to bad for standing shooting.

Meece 1,957 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I like the posts that Wolfe puts up like the alligators snouts poking up through the ice. I am out shooting both shotgun and rifle but I don't advertise the fact to neighbours. I.e.. I don't wander around waving guns about when I leave home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Also, almost everything is protected so the range of what can be hunted probably wouldn’t be like you were used to.......no busting pigs in Texas or bow hunting deer here I’m afraid. Britain has game coming out of its ears......and you’ll be arrested for hunting most of it unless it’s under very particular rules. Its quiet here because there’s just not that much to talk about. Edited to add: I don’t know why anyone would hate your guts ?.....for a start nobody knows you and secondly you come across as a polite chap who posts interesting stuff. I enjoy reading your posts anyway. I mean I guess that makes sense it's a shame really y'all do do alot of interesting stuff but Christ I'd think I'd loose my mind with the way out doormen get treated over there by the general public. O and I've had people tell me I don't belong here yadda yadda black people and Americans always popping up where we don't belong so on and so forth but it's whatever honestly what are they gonna do write me a strong worded letter It's easy to tell and it's actually kinda fun pissing them off anyhow let me go back to behaving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
