pavman Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 the fact that people discuss things outside pigeon shooting, specifically in the general banter forum, maintains a lively community which means when people do seek advice about shooting, the community is eager to help out. at least thats how i percieve it. and thoroughly enjoy it that way! well said badgerman, by the way I already have SS on my flight lines and beach I hope your not going to try and take a piece of the action in Suffolk as well leave some PIGEONS for me, ooh did i say PIGEONS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I still think Sean made a fair point and doesn't deserve some of the reaction he has got.People are entitled to opinions and we get enough expressed on here. I will remember the bit about, "you can always go somewhere else", when we next get complaints about Moderating policy I think some of the reaction was/is a bit strong. But the point is, it ais all well and good criticising the content if you have provided plenty yourself. I appreciate some people have got lives and better things to do, but we also hear a lot from 'old timers' on here about how good it used to be, blah blah blah They are normally people who post twice a year, so they are hardly adding contributing anything useful to the forum are they? But I agree with your comments about the moderating team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Anyway, the forum is called Pigeon WATCH. Shouldn't we all be watching pigeons? We could even invite Bill Oddie to sponsor part of the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Anyway, the forum is called Pigeon WATCH. Shouldn't we all be watching pigeons? We could even invite Bill Oddie to sponsor part of the site ..... Loads of info on this forum, plenty of experienced shooters, ferreter's etc why restrict the forum to one particular outdoor discipline, cant begin to count the amount of tips/advise I've picked up of the site.

roadkill Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 some people are only happy when moaning , what's the point of a post like that waste of time in my eyes .. This has got to be the number one forum about to do with all aspects of hunting , Anything you need to know can be found somewhere on here just because its called pigeon watch doesn't mean it has to be all about pigeons .. Plus if your that bothered post some stuff about pigeons in the pigeon section cheers roadkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 My 2p worth I haven't posted on here much at all but have enjoyed the site and found many of my answers using the search button. Most of my few posts have been car related. Not having been into the field sport side of things long compared to many of you, my first impressions were of a flap cap green wellie brigade. How wrong can you be. I love my shooting, ferreting, and fishing but am also into motor sports. I sometimes play a little g##f. And to be able to come onto a site like this and find such a diverse range of topics blows the whole stereo typical vision people have of people that use sites like these clean out of the water. I think this makes the site a much more interesting place to visit and stops it from getting stale and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I think this makes the site a much more interesting place to visit and stops it from getting stale and boring. I think you have hit the nail on the head there. If you only want to talk guns and shooting then go and talk to your local "strange statutory man" who sits in your local gun shop all day - you know who he is.

njc110381 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I found this site when looking for advice and information on shotgun shooting in general. I've now got a SGC (probably wouldn't have bothered applying without these guys giving me some positive advice) and the FAC should be in the post any day now. I'm glad the site has other things to talk about other than Pigeons, because I doubt I'd know half of what I do now about firearms and their use if it was that specific. Stop moaning and post some Pigeon related topics if it's so bad! You're having a laugh though right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 This site is about/for pigeon shooters and it'd be a sad one if all we could talk about was pigeons. We'd end up sounding like a bunch of pigeon fanciers sat in a loft with nothing better to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
