JDog Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Impressive. To those who come on the forum and immediately ask for shooting I say you could take a leaf out of Jacko's book. He had a bit of a helping hand to start with then joined the NPPC and has shooting most weekends under his own steam.

Your invite about 12 month ago when I was panicking about getting my licence and finally got was great and the first time I came I was hooked And willing to learn of someone who has a wealth of knowledge on the subject.. I needed the great feeling and sometimes disappointment of shooting the best and most difficult avian Quarry/ pest ... wiihout people like you Jdog invitingly taking a stranger out I and others may not get so hooked...

It is frustrating, though, missing birds that you know should be dead. Good luck with your continued improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
