deershooter Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Just watched this weeks episode, where was this bloke educated? he thinks 14.8 mm is one inch any one who went to school should know that 1 inch is 25.4mm, 14.8 is just bigger than 9/16 of an inch And as for the 505 Gibs he waved it about like an umbrella what a Muppet not safe with a sharp pencil if you ask me.

Deershooter No idea and not seen it, a simple mistake or just a senior moment, who knows! I've known Charlie for several years, although I have not spoken to him in over a year, always struck me as a reasonable guy who has obviously been to school!

Oxon88 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I just watched this weeks episode. Interesting comparrison between the soft point bullets and balastic tips. I Was a bit surprised that they decided to shoot a stag on top of a hill with a .270 when there was clearly no safe backstop. Its even more worrying when you remember that the ramblers have the same rights on the land as stalkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Pm him he is on here deerstalker. As for the backstop the camera often has a different view to the shooter so without being there its very hard to comment. Was a cracking piece and a very good advert for norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a cracking piece and a very good advert for norma I've heard people knock Charlie Jacoby, but I like him. At the Norma factory he was just being excited and enthusiastic--like most of us would be. I like his irreverant--sometimes almost insulting remarks--and the way he doesn't flinch from taking the **** out of the antis. He gets away with it because of a natural charm. At least he got up off his backside and produced a programme completely different from anything on mainstream TV with its crappy reality shows and junk like X factor. I hope he's successful in pulling in the ad revenue so he can expand the programme. Personally, I don't mind the heavy product placement if he's willing to bring fieldsports, especially shooting, to a wider audience. And no, he's not my mate!

bullet boy Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I spoke to Mr Jacoby once to ask him about the Sporting Rifle magazine and when it was due out and TBH it seemed like he didn't want to speak to me!I understand that people running a magazine can be very busy but as a customer I wasn't very happy with him I can assure you!!
