It’s as I thought, doesn’t matter what you shoot with; still needs to be pointed in the right direction. I’ll definitely be getting some lessons......then I’ll be back on here asking what’s the best looking 20 bore! Meanwhile, if you want to keep the peace and stop the nagging and if this is as good as it says and in the unlikely event that Ian did not buy it, I'd be all over this like a rash and if it were to be sold on there could well be a little profit in it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilcat Posted November 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 It’s mostly good natured banter. I give as good as I get. To be fair to them, they invited me in as a thank you after I did a favour for one of the beaters. There was a waiting list, which I appear to have avoided. They’re all experienced guns and don’t miss many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not surely if a member of the syndicate chooses to go with a catapult it’s up to the individual its about the opportunity of a shot not the amounts killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've posted that gun before, stunning and elegant lines. I'd have one in a heartbeat. The engraving on some multi hundreds of thousands of pounds guns is so fine and detailed you can't see it without a magnifying glass so with naked eye at five feet it looks naff.
