  1. I hope there will and thats up to us ALL to ensure there is by taking some of these under our wings Im a bit more optimistic as i see lots of young ones coming through - and indeed their parents coming late to shooting
  2. Members 1.5k Posted January 20 A tiny bit of backgroundOur shoot has an end of season thankyou meal for our beaters / pickers up and helpers throughout the seasonDuring this event which hosts circa 100 people we have quiz's , a few speeches - some pie, peas and beersTo raise funds for the shoot and much of its conservation work - supplementary wild bird feeding - bird box building etc we hold a raffle and an auctionThis year ATN has donated an ATN X SIGHT 4 K PRO 5-20 XI simply cannot thank Peter and ATN enough and though it should be shared publicly That was the story - anyway im buzzing today because my young pal won the scope and went out after a red stag last evening He has never shot one before and after 10 mins the opportunity arose and he did the job perfectly - 1 minute later it was number 2 ! Im really chuffed for him - it was his first and second ever and the scope did him proud ! So once again thanks Peter - thanks ATN 2 of the old chaps are off out tonight with their new ATN thermal spotters just purchased from Peter - they have been up zeroing the air gun today like young lads - one is 81 and one 83 i think hahahah Proper chaps !
  3. Awesome Im trying to do the same with the boxes Rim Fire
  4. Good on you Rim Fire Poor animal I would have done the same Out on the boar tonight then ?
  5. Local lad - start writing to gunshops - manufacturers - grass roots is our future
  6. Hi Konor I did that in about 10 hours I have made quite a few now This is about 45 metres long by 20 wide Yes it really is good for everything really I bought this a few years ago having never even sat on one in a bit of a whim - best thing i have ever bought Perhaps made 25 now
  7. Yes - i actually really like the wildlife more than the shooting i think Not read it all - but totally disagree that a fox is no threat after July ! Yes it funny isnt it how so many of the people involved want to come and shoot the vermin / fox / deer - until its cold - raining - a weekday - the clocks have changed - its a friday night - its a saturday night - its a sunday night ! hahahahahaha I love it
  8. Yes thats very true Im planting vast amounts of wild covers / flower meadows and digging lots and lots of ponds - i have numbers just starting to come back and last year had millions of grasshoppers !
  9. This would make a brilliant and interesting thread - and also something positive I think - having spent hours watching that the main issue is foxes - and then a year of weather like we are having does the broods in
  10. And imagine the animals and birds eating bit of plastic wad - surely frying pan to fire ?
  11. Some of the questions look - bizarre ! @Conor O'Gorman
  12. Totally agree Weihrauch - just seems such an odd thing to be doing Commit to the transition Then spend the next few years asking if we are happy with it ?
  13. Sorry to hijack thread - but how much is this Chris ?
  14. Yes thats what i meant Conor and i think thats seems to be so much of the issue for so many people
  15. Yes totally - but im not on about safe or unsafe shots - simply that steel has the potential to come back in peoples faces
  16. I wasnt meaning just churches - but history in general - Building today are soulless
