Any fellow shooters on here? I just recently got back into Clays and have a few days wild fowling this season up here in the dark cold North of England. Had a few odd looks as I'm smoking whilst walking around. They look at me like I'm a health and safety hazard never mind theres loaded firearms about. Funny how people think.

I used to when I lived in Staffordshire, but when I moved up north I have found it hard to get into the right circles so can't get on any shoots or can't get any land.
I hadn't looked at fowling but might have a bash.
Where abouts do you go?Licky Licky before Sticky Sticky. - Puff Scotty 22/03/14

I'm a shooter too. Have my own permissions to shoot on, and also member of a decent syndicate with 75 bird days during the season.
I used to do a lot of vermin, woody's etc but don't bother much anymore. Mainly just the game season now.
Where up north are you based now [MENTION=13405211]Rasputin[/MENTION]?Comment

Another keen shooter here. So much so I set up a sporting agency and now sell shooting, arrange simulated game days, and offer consultation services to estates about their shoots, sporting rights, and conservation/agricultural strategies. (Siparium Sporting - if anyone's interested
)
This does remind me that I said I'd look into a shooting herf a good few weeks back... Must get on that.Comment

As per my intro post, not only am I a budget cigar smoker, I'm a budget shooter too
I shoot air rifles. My old man has permissions around Selby/Tadcaster areas for Rabbits, Woodies and Squirrels. Relatively new to the whole shooting game, game...only started this year.
Up until 4 or 5 years ago I played Airsoft on a regular basis, but that is just a game.Comment

Which air rifles do you own gaz.Comment

A few year ago I bought a Hatsan Mod55, supposed to be good for a budget rifle, but I soon got cheesed off with it not hitting what I pointed it atOriginally posted by TonyN View Post
so it was left sat in the loft after having only 1 tin of pellets through it.
The back end of last year I picked up a BSA Supersport springer, the higher end of the market. The difference between the 2 was incredible, and the BSA was hitting where it was pointing more often than not.
I have now got an Air Arms S200 PCP, a fantastic rifle, although the pull is short. PCP's are just too easy to shoot. Down at the range it hits what I point at 100% of the time. Out in the field I hit what I point at about 75% of the time, but I'm still learning, judging ranges, wind and other variables etc.
Now I need to learn a bit of field craft too, and learn how to get these critters to the table
