Took a lad out today who has brought his first air rifle a couple of months ago, he is a friend of my next door neighbour, he is a nice and sensible lad who i have spoke to many times briefly in the past. he has been into fishing for many years but has no experience hunting, he secured some permission recently but has had no joy after taking sevral frustrating shots on sevral different occassions and was getting a bit downheartened due to lack of experience and fieldcraft. i usually go it alone most of the time but have taken him out today, onto ground and within 2 minutes he had shot a myxy rabbit (poor thing) no sooner had it keeled over a maggie came down to it and he had that also both out of vehicle window. moved further down field and because of the rain decided to sit and shoot out of the 4x4, he had 4 more shots accounting for 2 other maggies, total bag 3 maggies and one bunter. rifle was a s410 22 air rifle. he was chuffed and says it has given him confidence to continue. am going down to his permission soon in an advisory mentoring capacity, very enjoyable. We all had to start somewhere! Does anyone else remember struggling to get going?
