madmax666 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Ah right I see ..yes I get your point..mind if I ask your something. In your near mid 70's do you find you are at your peak now at shooting do you now feel you are a better shot, what I mean to say is a good guitarist can sound just as good as he did 30yrs ago but now with less effort do you see what I mean, things are more smoother with less speed and effort. Thanks to you others too for the welcome. cheers MM. Edited February 10, 2017 by madmax666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol,,,No mate,,Aferitus has come with me and the dog,all those hours in mud and rain.As for guitar playing,My fingers are Not supple in the least,Makes me shout sometimes. Old age brings Aunts and Uncles,Slow down yes,Damn hearts giving me gip.. But there is one thing it cannot take off me so far,,loads of pictures in my head Library,See Duck falling from my first go on the marsh,,Do only clays now,not very well but enjoy new company.. Met a lot of people in Dog trainig classes,mainly my years ago, Liecester Wildfowlers gun dog training,,it was really well run..Hope this answers your Question..lol.

madmax666 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Ah yes quite right the ravages of time doth creep up . its getting to me now in certain body areas , I was going to go to the farm today for a few hrs before the Wales v England game this afternoon but its one degree outside and I thought sod that...so I will build up to it watching the women's game first Funny you mentioned duck, I remember my 1st estuary outing, my brother and I were out at first light and it was cold we couldn't feel our fingers or feet, so the evening before I thought I would knock up something to keep the cold out, so I got some Southern Comfort which was big at the time in the 70s and the only bottle I had was a TCP bottle with some left in it so in went the SC and put in my game bag. Well 2 hrs in we were nobbling so I gave him the first swig..my god his head nearly blew off, what the ####is in this he said so I told him, well after that we finished off the bottle..you know we didn't feel the cold at all after that... it was brilliant. . At least you are still in the game so to speak on the clays, I can't say I was much cop at them either lol. cheers MM Edited February 11, 2017 by madmax666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Are you interested in expanding your shooting? I know a really good fullbore club about an hour's drive from you. They have their own range, lots of activities Edited February 13, 2017 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax666 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hello Vince, no not really I am happy with the air rifles that would be a bit much for me at this time, we have the salmon sewin and trout fishing plus bass fishing and of course the shooting any more I would have to retire to get it all in. I think I have heard of that club a few guys down welsh willy's has mentioned it I think..is there another one Maesteg way too. What range/ distance are you shooting. cheers MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
