Duffryn Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Sorry about the camera angle on a couple of the drives ( I did hit more than its looks) . My son proved a major distraction with constant talking though some classic comments :- "You are no where near as good as you said you were" "That Pheasant just owned you" "You missing a lot aren't you" Hope you enjoy......

Big Al Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Very special memories there Duffryn. Sending young Jacob on a "retrieve" via handsignals certainly reminded me of when my children were younger as I used to do the same thing. I hope the seed you have planted will sprout and grow.

cloudwalker Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I can empathizes. I took my 8 year old (also called Jacob) to our Christmas shoot and had a very similar experience whilst he stood by me. I also shot poorly! In the end he decided he wanted to join the beaters. It was a memory to treasure.. The beaters were walking through a strip of maize, in line waving their flags. About 20 yards behind the line all I could see was was this flag being waived frantically. It was Jacob he couldn't keep up with the beating line and was too short to see over the top of the maize but he was determined to wave that flag. It may have been frustrating at the time but you will look back at this with fond memories and you have it captured on film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffryn Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 That's a great story, your right these are the things will be remembered for ages. I'm pleased you got distracted too and that it wasn't just me I can empathizes.

Wilts#Dave Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 A pleasure to watch, a great change from the usual videos and kids are so brutally honest it's really refreshing....Jacob has some classic one liners to keep you in check!!! I still remember going off shooting with my Dad as a lad, he will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffryn Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks for all the kind comments gents. It was cracking day, I've just found a note on my bedside table from Jacob asking if he can go again. It will be great to have him along on some of the days. I'm sure he will add a new dimension to the videos. He asked how much shooting cost and in fear of him telling his Mum I explained it was only £40 and that if he wanted he could pay for it at the end of the day. I gave him the cash and he walked up to the keeper, shook his hand handed over the cash and thanked him for the day. On the way home said that he thought it was really good value and thought he could earn enough money stacking logs to go on a day of his own when he was older ! I think I have set myself up for a fall there, hopefully he will forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £40/day I'd be shooting every day It's a great touch that he tipped the keeper for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Great to see the boy out enjoying himself and giving you some stick. I suppose you told your wife that the day cost £40 too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Another excellent video and what a nice touch by that Gun who let the lad take a shot. Jacob certainly added a new dimension and you are now being "out starred" by Rob and Jacob. "This isn't a very good spot" really cracked me up and caused my wife to come and see what I was watching. We both laughed at the "Jacob get out" sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Great to see the boy out enjoying himself and giving you some stick.
