cockercas Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 After 3 late nights and 2 early mornings out foxing I'm just about keeping my eyes open having had less then 10 hours sleep since Thursday. Its got me wondering when dose been tired start affecting your shooting. And I don't just mean in accuracy terms but in judgment of safe shots. So when is tired to tired. Would you feel to tired to drive but still handle a firearm??? Opinions please. Aploliges in advance if its not worded correctly I'm shatted.

Paddy Galore! Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) not judging but you need your wits about you with guns mate, caffiene does the trick with me. this might be a contributing factor of your recently aquired "fear of the dark" reaching a semi dream state and your sub-concious mind having its wicked way with you?

Zaiyn Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Being over-tired is akin to being under the influence. Only you can really judge just how over-tired you are. For me the bottom line is, would I go out shooting whilst being inebriated? 'No' is the obvious answer. IMO, if you are too tired to drive, you are too tired to be shooting. Regards Z.

cockercas Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Nah the tiredness hasent anything to do with not liking the dark in fact it probably helps lol.

bornfree Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sometimes it helps,i was out last night saw a fox in a pen of ducks he ran as soon as the lamp hit him so i waited for him i fell asleep for 30 mins woke up had a look through the pulsar there he was 80yards away eating a duck result dead fox.if i had stayed awake i would have moved on after 15 mins. bornfree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiepigeon Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 My cut off point is when I start yawning I loose interest and there is only one thing on my mind and it's not shooting but a nice warm bed. I stay up all night sea fishing but find I can make mistakes casting and miss bites etc so on that basis once I get too tired its time to put the gun away.

TaxiDriver Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 On a different circumstance, I can tell when I'm tired as when typing, like now, I'll post a reply and then notice that I have to keep going back as I've forgotten to put a space inbetween words. just to prove my point, I had to do four edits on the above :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
