team tractor Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I’ve been shooting for 25 years now and I’ve noticed you get the helpful and the horrible. you get the people that try their hardest to steal your permissions by any means like telling lies. These are people that are newish to the sport normally. Always trying to make you look a fool. The helpful now. The gents that have been shooting a long time. They give useful advice and I’m lucky to know a few. The last 6 months my 11 year old daughter has got into shooting . i took her to the range that fruit loop on here runs. Everyone was so nice to her and gave her so much advice it was great. Mostly from the older generation. ive bought her a 410 shotgun for doing well at school and since then she’s been donated a #camouflage/army jacket from a guy on my syndicate # a 410 cartridge belt off another guy who runs a shoot where I stalk . He had it as a child and he’s now 67. # a hat off my mates mum . She found it on a clear out and it’s been in the cupboard 25 years. # I had the 410 off wabbit bosher for £42 . # the place I stalk has also said he’s setting her up a clay trap in his garden for her. # she also had a foraging bag off Mel b plus his old shooting seat. Shes been spoilt. It puts my faith back in the shooting world. on top of all this I’ve had loads of help off a lot on here from reloading lessons to shooting help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Prawn Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think the shooting world is a pretty good cross section of the world and like the rest of the world I find most people are good folk, but a few bad uns we could certainly do without! ive been lucky enough to meet TT's daughter and it's great she got his love of shooting but luckily for her she didn't get his face ?

I haven’t a lot of money but she doesn’t want any. She appreciates rolling in the dirt , hunting , talking to the older generation and hearing stories. We make our own stuff and she loves it. She cleans her gun every outing and helps gut the bunnies or fish if we are on holiday. I think I’ve found my new best friend and she was under my nose the whole time 5 minutes ago, SPARKIE said: or legs pmslf Shame theirs a swear filter.

What more could you wish for? Sounds like you've got a little cracker there. My 5 year old is starting to show an interest in all things outdoors and it fills me with hope that I'll have a shooting partner in a couple of years.

Dazza9t9 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Great to hear about future generations enjoying the sport. I love reading positive threads like this at 36, and only a relatively short term shooting (compared to most people on here) I have seen and heard a lot already. People attempting to steal others lands, and I have seen some extremely generous acts. I work in an area I often see the worst in people, so when I see these kind acts it always reminds me how nice most people are. i have 2 young children, at 2 and 5, I’m hoping they follow in my foot steps into the field. I always make sure they help unload the shot game etc the youngest, my daughter at just 2, loves nothing more and carrying a dead pheasant, but strange watching her stroke it like a pet. Keep uo the great work promoting the sport and what a great way to spend time with the kids Never know, maybe the next amber hill in the making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 2 while growing up have helped gut fish and ask what each part is. I like it. Edited February 28, 2018 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
