pabs Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Sweet Mother of God. I can takes ne more.... It's I've, I, I'm, Rapid, when, have, could, with. And some ******* punctuation wouldn't go amiss either. You do know there's no character limit on an online forum post don't you? It's not like 1 ov dem texts innit. Lol, sorry, rant over.... No, don't go shooting birds in trees with a FAC air rifle unless you've got plenty of clear land behind.(Say about 800 yards or so) Edited March 19, 2012 by pabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durbsguy Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I was always taught that when shooting rifles that there should always be a backstop - so you know where the slug ends up and the shotguns that they should always be fired where there is no backstop ie above the skyline. I still adhere to that, works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 ive shot shotguns,rifles,air rifles all my life and like to think ime safe,i ave a 35ftlb rapid. but wen i say shoot at a crow in a tree i feel as if its not safe as the 35ftlb pellet cud go along way if i miss.do you guys wi same fac guns do the same or am i just worrying about nothin' I don't want to offend but how did you manage to fill out the FAC form? The level of english is despairing The Pellet does go a long way when you miss and if it lands outside the the boundary of your permission or god forbid in someone else's property or person! Doesn't matter if it's a FAC or sub 12ft/lbs...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Jesus christ, the guy only asked a simple question and you're mocking him over his punctuation! Who care's if he doesn't spell rapid with a capital R. this chap could well have dyslexia, and your ripping him wont exactly help him will it? By the look of your post count, you've been on here for a while so in my opinion you should know better than to put people down. I suffered with my reading and writing for many years while in school and it was people like you that made my life harder. Back off, wind your neck in and leave the guy alone.

It's not a flaming English exam. If you're shooting high into the top branches of a tree,as long as your pellet doesn't land outside your permission,you don't have much to worry about.But if your taking a shot at a target lower down,you'll need to consider what's behind your target more carefully.

RANT OVER I agree, but when the text becomes so bad that it's difficult to read, then comment is worthy. And perhaps pointing out his mistakes will help him learn??

Kin 8 it I could understand a kid using it, but this guy claims to have had FAC for 15 years ( ), which must make him a bit older. Strange questions for a veteran rifle shooter too, I was wondering which banned member had come back for a troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first place to look for best practice. I'm not an English teacher but i don't see why poor spelling (where spell check is available) and none existent grammar should go without comment either.

There you go perfectly legible. After a while it grates people want the input and advice but it can look like they can't be bothered to put the effort into writing it. Many will not bother to reply because the post is difficult to read. A bit of effort on everyone's part makes things easier, also try the chrome browser, it puts a red line under spelling mistakes! Has certainly improved my spelling even if it does take a while to get the right word! Still far from perfect, but it has helped me! Still type feild far too often!
