Frenchieboy Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Great video, thanks for sharing that one! It's the first time I have ever seen a punt gun in action. That is some recoil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Gloucester wildfowlers do a demo at the frampton game fair. my god you know when they go off. messed alot og dogs up with the bang from what i was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Nice demo with a good commentary done by two blokes who obviously know what they`re doing. Langstone WA have been doing similar demos for over thirty years. Pity about the hand paddles though. Chuck `em overboard and learn how to scull!

Billy. Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Go frame by frame and watch the bird reading the magazine. She nearly punches herself in the face with fright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanpaddy Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks folks I never heard one before this and I thought I knew what to expect but the bang off it is almighty as you can see when the camera jumps lol Funny thing is if you notice the duck infront of the boat is the only living thing within 100 yds that doesn't jump :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillaroo Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Gloucester wildfowlers do a demo at the frampton game fair. my god you know when they go off. messed alot og dogs up with the bang from what i was told. Same thing happened at a game fair I was at. The idiots who let it off gave no warning to the countless people standing nearby with young dogs. I had a young springer with me and thankfully put my hands over her ears as I knew what was coming but it was chaos afterwards with dogs running all over the place and if it messed up one dog then keep it on the marsh and not at a fair.

ack-ack Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Cracking video. Loved the bit where he lowered the gunwhale to make it easier to hand paddle and then had to reach over the top any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgun tim Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 near where i live they use punts a few years ago i was living on there (holy island) there was 2 punts been used that day(by differant people) i heard the bang but no follow up shots later we found out why the gun had misfiered then the barrel snapped in half hitting the man who pulled the trigger in the shoulder then hitting the punt man in the head thus killing him (it was a double man punt)very dangerous things!!!!!!!!!
