danccooke Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 After years of Pigeon shooting, tomorrow morning will be my first time out with an air rifle since I was a nipper. I will be heading out just before first light and hoping to take some rabbit home. Annoyingly only part of the new permission as I don't get to the see the other farmer until tomorrow later in the day. I know my luck they will all be sitting just over the boundary. If they are then so be it at least it will serve a recon mission for me, and when I get the rest of the permission later tomorrow I'll ask about lamping.

danccooke Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 ahhh... too late rush of blood and pay day.... I had to go to the gun shop to get a refill anyway as my dive bottle is away being tested. Another cheap trip to the gun shop then. Think seing as I finish work at 2200hrs tonight and the weather is good. Might as well test the new lamp on the new permission. Whats the worst that happens. I get cold and learn some stuff?? Or I get a Sunday lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
