chesterse Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 How can you be so upset about someone you never met! Such was his strength of personality and knowledge coming though in his written word. RIP Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 That's a shock, and sorry to hear. I know what Mungler means, Hamster wasn't afraid to post his point of view in an articulate way. I had a lot of time for his opinion, even if it let to a few scraps with others on the site, as it was always well considered. Clearly a very accomplished shot as well, and always came across as a nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Thats a shame, he was always worth reading and had a great deal of knowledge in many areas. Even though you may not have always agreed with him, he came across as a very nice bloke and one to be respected. A sad loss indeed. real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehb102 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I am very sad. He was such a kind man always happy to share his wealth of knowledge with those prepared to ask the question. Yes, he was a great shot but he was a brilliant forum member too. I learned a lot from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Like Mungler and others, I had a lot of time for Hamster. He had very strong views on the Middle East and the Twin Towers. Although I didn't agree with him, he put a lot of thought into his contributions. Never actually met him, but saw his family photos on Facebook. A good family man, very good clay shot and all round decent bloke. Condolences to his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I will miss him very much both on the forums and in life. Always a gentleman, happy to stop for a chat when we saw him on shoots. His wife is obviously devastated, she described him as her life and I reached out to her yesterday so that she could know just how much many of us enjoyed his company both virtual and in real life. RIP dear Hammie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Sad news, I was aware that Hamid was seriously ill, and I had given him my best wishes some time ago, but this is still a great shock. He was a very talented clay shooter, and both a prolific and entertaining contributor to Facebook and a number of Shooting Forums. He will be genuinely missed by many shooters in the South East and beyond. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Very sad. I always enjoyed reading his posts and learnt a lot from them. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 My condolences to his family and friends, enjoyed his posts and his love of the Beretta 682 Gold E. As others have said his views may have differed but what he wrote was very well put together and provoked thought. Sadly being so far north never got to shoot with him, even when we had attended the same shoot it was different times. Had no idea he was poorly, reading the posts nor did most of us. Very nice write up by Hamid on his hospice and how it helped him. RIP Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thats very sad, I depended on him for an alternative [and usually right] argument..RIP fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Strange I knew he shot air rifles but had no idea about the clay shooting because I don't go on that section. RIP fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
