I'm an odd person now? ? At no point, anywhere, did I ask for a pat on the back. What kind of twisted person would want a "pat on the back" for messing up the shot I did, no. What I wanted was some support from the community, we're already under fire 99% of our sporting lives anyway from anti's and so when I post an honest post asking for some similar stories (purely to try and re-assure myself I'm not the only bloke who ***** up from time to time) I don't expect to get **** for it. If you dont agree, dont post. But of course you're unable to help yourselves as the first sniff of being able to argue a point is too much to resist.

Exactly, we are under fire all the time, so why would you or anyone want information about messing up, and don't use **** etc, you asked and wanted reassurance, what the hell are you talking about... If you dont agree, dont post...grow up and/or clear off, YOU are doing the shooting community no favours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH mate I don't see anything wrong with what you posted,but you seem to have ruffled a few feathers on here. Maybe the cracking shots on here who make a clean kill with every shot will go to heaven,looks like the rest of us are going to hell. Seems honesty and telling the truth are frowned upon.

I drive at 100 miles an hour everywhere, even outside schools and Old Peoples homes, I have bald tyres, no insurance and to be honest I can't really handle the car and don't know its limitations. I'm beginning to feel a bit guilty and was thinking about giving up driving, would you all tell me about your similar experiences so I know I'm not the only one and feel better. Just being honest, please don't frown on me! If you don't agree with me don't post, I'm not interested in criticism and will turn on you!! Another version of the OP!

You appear to have totally missed the point throughout this whole thread and continue to do so, I tried to make it a bit clearer with my motoring analogy post, but that too seems to have gone completely over your head!

spandit Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm not convinced your motoring analogy is appropriate. You make it sound like he was being deliberately negligent whereas I read it that he took a shot which was well in range of the firearm he was using, and ended up with a wounded animal, which he subsequently dispatched. He's admitted he made a mistake and although perhaps he should just man up and get over it, I think the reactions on here have been way over the top (although in comparison with non-PW forums ;)). Maybe it was a fishing post by an anti, although I doubt it. As a professional pest controller I value your opinion much higher than many on here, but I think in this instance perhaps you should just accept he made a mistake and was worried about it and move on. You have a business reputation to consider. Rise above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a business reputation to consider. Rise above! Fair comment but whatever else, there are times it pays to keep your mouth shut, learn from your mistakes and move on! I had to go a little further with the motoring post as apparently some didn't/don't see the point at all. I wouldn't describe a 170 yard shot with a HMR as "well in range", certainly doable but without doubt towards the top end of its range, and arguably deliberately negligent when you don't know the range accurately. Depending on ammo there is circa 4" drop in HMR between 150-170 yards, that is significant. Then, he apparently got closer and still missed! Anyway, that's taken the heat off Gordon R for a while!

Hamster Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Not averse to a bit of conspiracy theorising meself but only where some evidence can be found, people just postulating that the OP has come here to tease out a bit of dirt on the shooting community's callousness ? seems a bit of a long shot. Anyways what the antis missed in long, detailed multiple tales of woundings they surely gained in seeing how quickly we squabble amongst ourselves over nout.

Guest Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I think DanP is genuine but his post was a bit of a school boy error. Dekers has a point because some Anti could cut and paste the post as evidence of cruelty by shooters. Everyone should remember that the Antis monitor forums and FB sites.

Good grief, like I said earlier, you have completely missed the point, that was my analogy of the OP and his subsequent posts, not a comment I was personally making, what the OP has said AND DONE!!!!!!!!!!!
