Fat bloke Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Evening all. Well, went out this morning full of confidence assuming that I'd hit at least 25 of the 50 clays. After hitting 18 of the nasty buggars I'm a tad dejected. Thinks I'll be needing quite a few goes before being let loose on the pigeons. On a plus side. Bloody loved it. Looking forward to getting my weapon out again already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexcernui Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Don't worry buddy. I treat shooting like I do fishing. If I catch a fish I enjoy doing it. If I don't I still enjoy being there and doing what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangford wildfowler Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hello and welcome bit of a newbie myself, just remember mate, there's plenty of air around them!

Fat bloke Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Seems to me that a lot of you lovely people are also into your fishing. Makes sense as appears a similar mind setting is required for both. Sea & rivers for me, well I live in Norfolk so it would be silly not to.

satx78247 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Fat bloke; Rexcernui; All, That's why it's called "shooting", "hunting" & "fishing", rather than "catching", "slaughtering" & "butchering". = It's the ENJOYING that's important, imVho. yours, satx Edited August 26, 2013 by satx78247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat bloke Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Evening all. Well, gave the clays a go again and was much better so my confidence is now as high as the pigeons I'm going to be firing at. Now looking forward to shooting in anger as the saying goes. Just one question lads! After spending all my wife's house keeping on a gun and ignoring her because all of my interest has been focused on shooting is it normal for her to withdraw my marital rights and put my diners in the dog?

Well done on the progress mate . I know exactly what you are talking about, my shooting and fishing does drive a wedge between me and the wife and yes many a diner has gone to the dog. All I will say is that you need to prioritise and always put the shooting and fishing first, you will soon get discount at the local chippie . I cant comment on your other point as I forgot what that is. Edited September 10, 2013 by Blunderbust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fielder Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just do what I do, I get he girlfriend involved, she came with me to a lesson and remembered all the tips the instructor gave me, now I take her clay shooting with me, she does the clays for me and corrects any bad habbits I keep going back to. Keeps our relationship sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat bloke Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Honestly, if I wanted her to come fishing & shooting I'd of asked her. I find we all need 'me' time. I thought me giving up going to lap dancing clubs would be enough for her! Can't win can you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat bloke Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well, turns out I'm brilliant at pigeon shooting. Only trouble is that the local gun shop only sells blank cartridges. It's taken me months to figure this out, cheeky buggars you wait till I see em. Regards all Fatty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Welcome Fat bloke. Know the feeling! HID won't come anywhere near me when I come in from bunny bashing. I did think of skinning them whilst sitting in the arm chair but thought better of it when she reached for her broomstick. She spends a lot of time asleep in the chair so I can creep out when necessary. She loves rabbit and pigeon but only if I cook it. Then again her cooking is somewhat lacking in quality. I kid you not, she actually burnt the cornflakes for breakfast when we were first married. I should have sussed it out then. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
