Thunderbird Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thats a coincidence. A place I tried just north of Gloucester on Sunday had a sign saying they 'discourage' the use of semis. Honestly the first time I've ever seen such a sign. Bristol Clay Shooting (not in Bristol, up my way) has no issue with them. By the way you can come any Sunday morning you want mate! Interesting to hear the story about the shop. Not the first time I've heard of a gun shop being very reluctant refund a faulty good. Seems pretty common in the sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 two ground here have banned semi autos after 2 poeple where shot with a semi. i dont like using on clay grounds as you always get somemoaning. I hope sitsinhedges and winterwolf are reading this thread as when i told them semi's had been banned from a couple of my local grounds, they implied i was talking **** because i wouldnt tell them what the grounds were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 My Beretta has a rod that sits in the mag tube and stops you loading the extra one but that doesnt put people's mind at rest. Thunderpants, i will tell you in person went our paths next cross. Range day on the 25th im hoping the 6.5x55 will be in my hands by then. shop playing silly beggers. Fruity. old boy that got his knickers in a twist and only shot one clay on a stand, forgot he had the 2nd up the spout and walked out the stand, how i dont know but the trigger got pulled and two people took the shot in the body. Dogz25 knows the ground well, pond on right as you go up the drive. my gamekeeper buddy is one of the coach's there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) We'll discuss the specifics off-line but yes that will be fine, especially if we do the clay shoot on Sunday, we'll need 'em.

Thunderbird Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 the current Mrs Brown Sauce is on a hen do So not only will you miss shooting you'll also have to deal with the knowledge that your Mrs has groped an oiled stripper. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sorry for the stripper, but then again, it is an occupational hazard :o As I understand it they're all going burlesque dancing somewhere in Cheltenham. All I can say is god bless Cheltenham and who sailed in her Ho hum, brownie points for buying a couple of rifles, once the fac is agreed, in a month or 3 ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
