Do you mean having to explain why they voted to leave? It’s tiresome I know, but not as boring as constantly being told that we ‘knew what we were voting for’. 🙂 Speaking for myself, I knew exactly what I was voting for.

Say good bye to lead shot, HSE report.

Had a quick scan but nothing I can see which contains any more logic than previous proposals. -

Click on link, page turns black, then click on link again. See if that works? 👍 124 pages so will have a read when I get back from shoot. -
🤔 Had a good night have we?

Holding social services responsible is self defeating ( who would apply to join if they were made responsible for deaths? ) and cruelly misplaced; they already have to live with the fact they may have been able to save this child and there will be many sleepless nights as a result, no doubt. It’s time those responsible for the deaths of children in cases such as this, were made to suffer the consequences. As loathe as I am to allow the state such power, its way past the time these low life’s were euthanised instead of having their every basic need ( even protection ) catered to for the rest of their lives. I could sleep soundly quite happily ignoring the wagging fingers of those who would claim this is an act of revenge rather than justice, but taking away someone’s liberty and then catering to their every need isn’t my idea of justice.

A great time to get shooting with BASC
Scully replied to Conor O'Gorman's topic in General Shooting Matters
Indeed. Like I said, well done BASC. I’d consider rejoining, but even members get ignored when the questions get difficuilt, and it’s not just BASC; I left the NGO for just that very reason. -
Good post. I can’t believe that people are STILL having to explain their reasons for voting to leave! Trade agreement? Fine. Foreign unelected politicians dictating policy of other foreign countries? Not fine.

I’m just going to say hurrah for BASC, as any hard questioning of BASC just seems to get the thread locked, thus saving them from answering difficult questions. Well done BASC. 👍 -
I used to get a lift to work back in the late 70’s in a Mk1 Mexico. Great fun.

Well talking to many who voted to leave the EU, the over-riding reason was because they weren’t being listened to by the ruling establishment regarding many issues, ie out of touch with public opinion. I get the impression the reason Trump was voted back in is for the same reason. The reason Labour were voted in was for the same reason, but ironically the status quo has been retained. Same old deceitful hypocrites, different name. 🤷♂️

I know! I really should stop looking on GT; all those Winchesters and so little room….and money. Me also.

Must admit it’s never been an issue any time I’ve shot DTL. Those ‘good ol’ boys’ in the US shot trap with Remington 1100’s.

A former workmate who now drives on the bins, told me he and all who are employed at his workplace as drivers are subject to random tests for drugs and drink. A local lad in the village ( already previously banned for drug driving ) works for a heavy plant company, and brings his work van home each night. Apparently his employer also has a random test policy, but if true he’s getting round it somehow, as the smell as he drives past ( and walks his dog past ) is unmistakeable. He has removed the smoke alarm in his flat as the landlord has a ‘no smoking’ policy agreement. The smell of those plug in air fresheners is sickening at times, and his windows are open in all weathers. 🙂

I most often shot 1/4 and 3/8 at clays, but often enjoyed playing about with different constrictions and different guns as I don’t take clays too seriously; it’s just playtime to me. As someone once said to me ‘you’re either on ‘em or you’re not’, and while this is undoubtedly true, some guns are better suited than others to sporting layouts. Two of my trap guns are choked full and full, and while I’ve straighted the Sportrap (?) layout at Conistion with one of them and nearly straighted the ‘driven’ stand there also with the same gun ( Remington 3200 Trap ) I wouldn’t compete on a serious footing with either. I’m not good enough to compete on a serious footing anyhow. I once tried my Benelli self loader on the skeet layout at Westlands with a skeet choke in it; it was good fun and although I’ve never straighted that layout with any gun, I tried it on the high tower on the way back to the clubhouse ( previously shot with 3/8 and full ) and discovered a skeet choke is more than capable for that stand…..‘you’re either on ‘em or you’re not’. 😉 Anyhow, I’ve started shooting sporting with skeet and 1/4 in my classic Doubles trap gun, and never feel under choked. Great fun. 👍
