mag357 Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Lost my pigeon shooting buddy of 14 years yesterday going to miss him and our daily banter on Skype every morning and coffee at his place putting the world to rights Did all our shooting together, pigeon, clays, crows. It was Mike who got me into pigeon shooting all those years ago. Got into 12g reloading together, made our own shot and carts and even got into making our own floater decoys, sold hundreds of them. Spent many happy day in hides together...arguing whose shot it was next. RIP old friend all at peace now, going to miss you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I’ve just seen the news. All those years ago Mike was the first person I spoke to off here and real world - it was he who gave me the genius tip to have all my shooting related purchases delivered to my offices so the wife wouldn’t find out. Invaluable and practical advice to a novice! A top bloke who will be missed. RIP Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 It is very sad to loose someone. My condolences to his family and friends. I didn't know him, but all the comments on here paint a picture of a person with a wealth of knowledge which he gladly shared through this forum, and no doubt other channels. It highlights how as we all get older it is so important to share and pass on knowledge and experience where possible. Reading this thread shows how Hawkeye set and example for us all to follow in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
