OLDSHOOTER Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 In reply to topgunners,yes it was me ,[after reading Dave,s letter only two days ago], Daves severe repremand was aimed at. Yes I did shoot over a bean field they had shot over the Saturday previous. What was not mentioned that I have occationally shot over that farm , with the farmers permmision ,for many years. We arrived at that field,not finding birds on our regular farms,and got permmision to shoot it for the last few hours of the day. We were given permmision to shoot over other feilds of beans not knowing that Topgunners were going to shoot it, what with their many square miles of shooting in various counties. After phoneing his shooting buddy and getting a right ear bashing and was so taken aback by his agressive telling off,I appologised profusely about my unintentional conduct. So I was supprised to see Dave,s seering venomous attack on my self and my character. Any one who knows Dave would not knowingly get on the wrong side of him ,which I unintentionally did. I am not going to get in a mud slinging match with anyone, it,s not in my nature. I am just stateing the facts ,anyone who knows me knows I am a scincere honest person and would not knowingly do any one any hurt. I have been shooting that area for the past 40 odd years on and off,and enjoy a good rapor with the farmers in the area. Ihope my owning up to this misdermeaner has been,[after reading some of the comments from various members] to vindicate other shooters in the Coventry area who,s character may have been suspect. I hope this concludes the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk shooter Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 All credit to you Old Shooter, you came on here and stated your side of the story. I hope things get patched up between you and Topgunners and that this is the end of it. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 All power to you Old Shooter for owning up. Maybe you and Dave should get together and talk after all, as the great man said, jaw jaw is better than war war and if you've been friends for a long time it'd be a shame to spoil the relationship when some simple apologising might go a long way.

njc110381 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Reading both sides of the story, I think it's just a playground punch up. If both shooters have had permission on the land for a long time, then why is there a problem? Share your toys like good boys do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
