Howling Hound

Hi mate Suggest you contact The Gouse He has an excellent shoot in Staffordshire, a bit of a way to travel but a great days beating with some unforgetable people.

Welcome mate

You can still count me in

Silly thing to do but the guy was fuming. Claimed he thought he was advised to do so by the operator. One of the officers shoots regularly at the club so he got away with it. Main consequence was a speedy arival of forensics etc

Over last week end (between Sunday night Tuesday mornong) toe-rags broak in to Oakedge and removed the ground keeping and workshop equipment. Also a few £1000 of fishing gear. Please were called via 999 but we were told to dial 101 even though it was a shooting ground. The operated said that officers would attend some time during the day. Next phone call via 999 to say that it was believed that the scum were still on the ground and we were going out to look for them. It was advised that we should not do that as it may be dangerous. The operator was thanked for the warning and that we will now take guns. Full armed response arrived within 12 mins. No traps were taken and it has not affected the shooting Reward of £1000 has been offered to find these poor misguided people Please be vigilant

Why? Rebates are always welcome

I must admit my Eurovision experience this year was greatly enhanced by adapting an old drinking game. 1, stand up 2, turn telly off 3, go down the pub

Yea but some jobs I don't mind doing. And how come it's my turn to walk the dog whenever it' raining At least there' some enjoyment to start off with kids (about 2.5 mins in my case) all down hill after that

Don' you just hate some people. If not for the horse riding and the chose of beverage Steve would fall into this catorgy. Spent the days sweltering getting a stable ready for the Lady Hounds new horse, big smelly thing that converts pound notes into poo. But hayho, needs must when the Dragon drives. At least I get some piece when she is out riding and she leaves me alone to go shooting.

Hi decoyman Please bring your spaniel, well behaved dogs always welcome. If you have never been to the ground before you are in for a treat. It may be the best kept secret in shooting however after they host the British open in August it may be better known. As I have said before exactly what we can put on will depend on the uptake, but English sporting is always availale I will keep you in the loop Martin

A few years ago I spent some time raising cash for the Gurkha Welfare Trust at CAMRA beer festival's. At one were managed to get two Gurkhas to come along. You would not believe some of the stupid comments we got. Are they real Gurkhas? (No they are ****** plastic!) Why are they raising money in the UK for? One woman even tried to make an official complaint about allowing knives into a beer festival. I will always remember the festival chairman's reply. Madam those knives are safer where they are than locked up in an office. Glad to say we raised lots of cash. The two lads turned up with a collection tin each. I took then away and gave them two buckets which were filled. Great times.

Cardiff is luxury. Spent 9years working away in Hastings with the occasional stays in Bradford and Paisley. Got Hastings sussed eventually. Found a stunning privately owned country hotel in Battle with its own lake. As it made its money at weekends for functions and weddings negotiated a silly rate for a long term stay during the week. Usually only me staying there. Eventually treated as one of the family ran the bar, was in the hotels quiz team traveling to different pubs. Meals out etc. Home from home Never got scotland or Bradford sorted though.

I can not shoot this sunday as I have to get a stable ready for the new oss. However I will pop up and check put the new catering situation by having a full breakfast, purely for research reasons you understand

OK Salopian your in Will keep you informed as we go along

Opps The date is Friday 20 july not the 10th No excuses just going a bit gaga Thanks thebigh21

Welcome

I think this Vidieo made by a college student on gunmaking it won a Royal Television Society award and deserves a watch https://vimeo.com/217028959

Ladies and Gentelmen Following quite a few comments in other threads I have made tentative arrangements for a gathering of like minded people at Oakedge Shooting Ground in Staffordshire. It is central, close to the M6 and the West Coast Mainline. It is also, for anyone who has not been there a stunning ground. Date Friday 20 July 2018 There will be a simulated game shoot consisting of Meet and greet at 9.30 Bacon sandwich 2 simulated drives Buffet shoot lunch 2 further simulated drives Shooting in teams of 4, 100 birds per drive Hopeully a barrage to finish Cost for the above £80.00 Maximum people 16 on a first come basis with a deposit of £10.00 For those not in the simulated shoot There is a full layout of English Sporting stands so you can scare a few clays or if there is enough interest maybe a 50 or100 clay contest. Lots of time to talk side by side and play I'll show you mine if you show me yours Tea and coffee on all day We have a few other ideas but it will depend on the interest shown. Please let me know if you would be interested in the simulated shoot or just in attending for a few sporting shots or indead a small compertition and i can take it further.

Tuna and picallily sandwich toated is actually very nice. Found this out in my student days when it was the only things in the cupboard and the only cash I had would only get me 10 fags.

Maybe if Marks and Spencer merged with Pound Strecher it would be called Strech Marks

Man went to the doctors with a lettuce leaf sticking out of his backside. Oh that looks nasty said the dr Nasty! Thats just the tip of the iceburg.
