Interests
Shooting, Shooting, and a bit more Shooting!! Hunting on my days off.I have been shooting since the age of 12 (air rifle) I acquired a shotgun certificate at the age of 15 and a firearm cert' at the age of 25. (now aged 66) I used to participate in pistol shooting, in the good old days when they were legal, and owned many full bore & small bore pistols. I have represented Wales twice in International DTL clay shooting and also represented my county (Mid-Glamorgan) for many years.My shooting now consists mainly of vermin control - crow,pigeon, rabbit, squirrel and fox. I also did Deer stalking for a few years. One of my many other interests is photography, which I have been doing for at least 30 years.

Yes, the full kit was/is brilliant. I've had mine for many years and there's still some items that I haven't used. The boots were excellent too.

I have one of these, which came with a full clothing package. The hat is excellent and is great in cold/wet weather.

Auction fever in some cases. I went to a shooting/fishing auction many years ago, and there were guys bidding way above the retail price for cartridges, not wanting to be beaten by someone else I presume. I always kept a maximum fixed price in my head and did not go above that, not even one pound.

I'm not sure to be honest. I think there are a few members on here that may have a bigger count.

Does anyone use a Sytong NV add on, and if so, what model and is it okay for up to 250 yards (with extra IR if needed)? Asking for my mate.

It's a sad world when this happens. My grandmother developed dementia and my mother did her very best to take care of her. But, sadly, the time came when my gran became a danger to herself, and she had to go into a care home. Only there a few weeks and then she passed away. Looking back at some of the things my gran said and did, brings back a smile and sadness. She would 'chat to the cushions' on her settee, asking her 'friends' if they would like a cup of tea. She also thought that my grandfather was 'living' upstairs (he died many years before her onset of dementia) as she could 'hear him calling her'. The stairs were blocked off to stop her going up there. There is no definitive answer to be honest, but I wish you all the very best.

The RSPB has seen a mass exodus of volunteers and researchers after a manager with decades of experience was sacked over unfounded claims he treated a Syrian colleague 'like a slave'. Described as a “truly devoted” manager, Dr Paul Morrison, 72, led a team on a Northumberland bird nesting island before being sacked by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) over a string of unfounded allegations. The claims saw the manager, who was based on Coquet Island for 38 years up until his departure, accused of treating colleague Dr Ibrahim Alfarwi like a "modern-day slave". Dr Alfarwi was then appointed as the new manager, resulting in an angry backlash from colleagues. In addition to the "slave" claims, Dr Morrison was also accused of ignoring safety protocols following a bird flu outbreak on the island. Described as a "truly devoted" worker by colleagues, RSPB volunteers say the academic treated his team "like family". The bird charity eventually reached a settlement with Dr Morrison for an undisclosed amount following the row - but not before the bird charity saw a mass exodus of volunteers and researchers in protest. Mr Morrison, who continues to deny the claims, was reportedly paid damages following a lengthy legal battle with the bird charity. They also falsely accused him of drinking while operating heavy machinery. The case has led one RSPB volunteer to accuse the charity of pushing a "diversity agenda" by replacing a "privileged old English white man", according to The Telegraph.

Supervision with a non license holder.

He can also (with a licence) purchase a shotgun and keep it in your cabinet. But, his shotgun would also have to be registered on your licence and vice versa.
