harry flashman Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 i am in a fortunate position that i can sit at a computer mon-fri 9-5 and pop on and off various websites all day while i am working , so i have noticed that a lot more posts these days are from people just joining and then asking for stuff ....it might be gear or more commonly shooting..... now i have been at this game for 30+years and was always prepared like in life to make my own way in my chosen hobby as did most of the people i know but hell there seems to be a lot of free loaders connected to not only this site but others too....is it just a trend or is it as things are these days don't get me wrong i'm not knocking people for trying but it does seem sometimes that people just start shooting on a whim and not got anyone else into shooting to share with...i read somewhere about a lad who was 1st time app for sgc and his gf was more or less anti....that's life i suppose Similar but my day is a bit longer and I can't really leave the desk much so I use as a bit of escapism at times when it's quiet. I have permissions but they are too far from where I live (central London until I escape back to Essex soon) to use in any meaningful way. Basically I am a frustrated shooter who enjoys reading about others enjoyment of the sport as my lifestyle doesn't allow much at the moment. (FYI I'm not a complete walt, I have SGC and do some driven shooting and occasional stalking with estate rifles, I just would rather get involved in branches of the sport that are a little less 'packaged') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm stalking Chard, he was on another shooting website that's now defunct. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timps Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I joined because I shot clays with a PW member who looks like a cock that said it was a good site to laugh at walts....... I stayed because of my interest in snap caps, Vaseline and my quest for magic beans. Edited February 13, 2012 by timps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I joined because I had shot a 703 yard hare with a 17HMR and I heard someone had beaten my record... And then found out there were people claiming to shoot 704 yard pubic hairs off of gnat's on here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I joined as I love all aspects of shooting, I always thought forums where a bit sad, and I was always browsing this forum with interest, one day I just thought I would join, Pigeonwatch is my favourtite forum, I know who the douchebag members are, but there are also some very knowledgeable members on here, I have learnt an awful lot on here too. BUT, everytime I mention Pigeonwatch infront of my friends or they see me on the site, the rip the **** out of me because of the name, and start mocking me watching pigeons, (as that is what the name means) lol. But all in all, a great site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprackles Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Was a returner to shooting after a good few years layoff so when I was googling some info, a link popped up to here and the rest as they say is history. That being said, I have probably learned more in the time I have been a member than I did all the years shooting beforehand thanks to the many friends I have made and people I have met because of this site.

sodit Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Yes, then I changed it to "One Shot One Kill" Then "Stealth Killa Bitchmutha" Then "Ex-SAS Veteran Hero Sniper" Then I settled on Chard, because I didn't want to sound like a complete cock Oh, so not because you're a vegetable :o http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/chard Cannot remember why I joined but glad I did Sodit B) Edited February 13, 2012 by sodit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for fresh green leaves and firm stalks with no signs of wilting or discolouration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself have been shooting for a number of years. Mainly air rifles which I have a small permission for. After many days going round farms and asking for use of their land. I have tried every trick and offered everything from cash and booze to free labour. Which has resulted in a long line of no's. I joined this site to look for land yes as I figured it was worth a try. (have realised now it wasn't). Luckily I hung around and have found some very useful tips both to improve my shooting and hopefully my chances of getting land. I have seen many shooters on here with big permissions in the areas around the Wirral and wish I was as lucky as you guys, I realise this takes time and effort and certainly wouldn't class myself as a freeloader.
