spandit Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I hope you do stick around. You'll learn to separate the wheat from the chaff (and there's a lot of chaff). The experience you had is just the kind of thing that prompts joining a forum. Don't let the armchair snipers put you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You walked into it with your OP, don't blame others for telling you what they thought of your actions. You took a shot you were not capable of, then more shots, basically blamed the farmer as he wanted them controlled, and didn't have the balls to stand up and walk away as you didn't want to shoot them. Then decided to share your incompetence with the world on a public forum. All you have done is bring the shooting community into disrepute! What do you expect, a pat on the back?

For someone who was contrite, you have rapidly turned a bit sensitive. You will have to forgive me, when I first read your post, I concluded that you might well be an anti who sought to gather stories to discredit shooters. Your subsequent posts have made me more suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I can put my hand on my heart and say I have never lost a deer that I have shot . Some I have had to shoot again and some I have had to follow up .Its regrettable not to make a clean kill on any bird or animal . I am getting to old to chase downed pigeons across the field ,if they are not dead I shoot them again . Get over it or give it up . I gave up shooting deer because I no longer like shooting them . harnser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Bluebarrels - I haven't a clue why you are having a pop - I suspect you have little else in your life.

Gordon R Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Bluebarrels - it may be hard, given your limited intelligence, but even you might have noticed that the OP said it was his last post after a number of critical posts - none of which were mine. My critical post came after his departure. You need to read carefully and grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I can't comment on the so-called click as I don't pay a lot of attention to topics once they descend into slanging matches, I do agree it's a shame when some good members get banned. I really do miss logging on to read a former member's posts, he had such a passion for air rifles. ? Edited July 13, 2018 by Ttfjlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly was the point of his post? He apparently wants to unload by asking other members to tell him all about their cockups, oh yeah, a first post asking for our experiences of making a mess of things, is it just me that thinks that smells a bit strange????!!!!!!!! Even if we actually take his post at face value, there are times it pays to keep your mouth shut, learn from your mistakes and move on!
