TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I took this bunch of reprobates out on to my permission in Rutland on Saturday. Very little was shot but a good time was had by all and the novices were able to learn and ask lots of questions. From the left; Hatsanman, M37, SimonIX, Neutron619, Captain Sensible, Londonercsecse and Bigman. We ended up in the Sun Inn in Cottesmore! Thanks for your company gentlemen, we must do it again!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Cheers Gentlemen, that photo took some planning to get everyone to stand still in descending order down to Steve on a slight incline and then Grant pops up on the right hand end! LOL!!!!! My wife thoroughly enjoyed the white wine and the Chianti was a great accompaniment to this evenings gammon roast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I levelled the photo with the horizon, does Bigman look taller in this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 what was the sitting duck incident? You can't say it and not tell us... Also, Bigman - you are literally head and shoulders above the rest! I better not stand next to you at my rather pathetic 5ft5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 For "duck" read Cock Pheasant! For "sitting" read getting up in front of you and flying away in such a way that it should have been hard to miss and of course the other seven of us were watching!!!!!! Will that sum it up Simon?

M37 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think that's a pretty accurate description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ah, I see.... haha. Had a moment like that myself - embarrasing but thankfully on my own. Was walking by an old abandoned horse shelter when a woodie flew out slow as you like and all that happened was it made me jump and I forgot to shoot it!

simonix Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Haha! Yes Dave, I think that definately sums it up! I don't really know what happened to be honest?! I just had a brainfreeze and "watched" it fly away and almost forgot I was holding a shotgun! DOH!!! Never mind, at least it didn't proceed to fly over and **** on my car! Haha!

simonix Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It was my first real day out shooting, and the first tIme I have met fellow PW members. What a great friendly bunch is all I can say! Only a little bit of banter for my "sitting duck" which is understandable! They could have made a right meal of it, and I would have to lurk in this forum for ever more! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
