Topgunners Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi everybody. After a long tally up , I have finally collated our shooting year. But I must say I had a very unfortunate end to the year, as I lost my younger brother to cancer, on boxing day. He was only 42. R.I.P Nick. He told me he would love to shoot anything, just the once before he left this earth. I am just glad that I managed to take him out pigeon shooting and he got his wish. Totals for the year 8,579 x pigeons, and the 3 most memorable were the one's my brother shot. 1,089 blackies 179 x foxes 41 x magpies 108 x rabbits 48 x ducks 57 x geese 7 x woodcock 34 x pheasants 7 x partridges 18 x roe deer 14 x muntjac. The shooting was exceptional last year, due to me being off sick for 10 months and able to get out a lot more. Happy new year to you all, and good health.

Actionpigeons Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Is this total for a shooting syndicate, how many guns? Edited January 9, 2013 by Actionpigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topgunners Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks for all your kind words. The funeral is arranged for Friday. Is this total for a shooting syndicate, how many guns? No, we are not a syndicate. Just myself, my mate and his lad. Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I missed this thread first time round and I am sorry to be late with condolences for the loss of your brother, that must have been a terrible time. That is an impressive yearly total and reflects the work you put into your shooting and the fact you seem to have gained access to the shooting in the entire West Midlands and all areas around. Apart from the long absence from work, lets hope this year is as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Sad news about your brother. Excellent results with your shooting though. I'm sure that your brother will be looking down on you when you're our shooting, and having a good laugh, especially if (when) you miss.

adamskiseal Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi mate, I'm looking to get some more shooting experience with the rifle and shotgun, looking at doing a bit of foxing and pigeon shooting, just wondering if I could help out on any of your permission's? Wouldn't expect to pull a trigger it would just be great to be out with an experienced hand. Thanks in advance and no worries if not pal Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
