HantsRob Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Today I took a catamaran from Southampton to the Isle of Wight. Calm waters and good weather, and was kindly met by @Old farrier who took me to his local club for a fun day out and to give me some pointers. I couldn't thank him more, or this forum for introducing us. I really had a wonderful day out shooting and the company was spot on. I wouldn't ever normally get this opportunity to visit this club and was really nice to see the community of shooters in this country. Things to check next time I shoot with him though: Ensure I have sweets. It not being halloween anymore is not an excuse Check he hasn't tied my laces together whilst I'm on a stand Offer the opportunity to swap/shoot his "rubbish back of the cabinet clay gun from back in the day" over anything I bring for the session Laughs aside, a fun day with great company, shooting some blue cartridges (OF had red ones, @TIGHTCHOKEcan be relieved to hear) and shooting with some really good instruction. I just wanted to publicly thank OF for his hospitality more than anything. A gentleman, great company, and beautiful hardware (take that as you like!), and I hope to return the favour for a shoot on the mainland when he pops over next!

JTaylor91 Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Brilliant gesture. If it wasn’t for help from the forum I probably wouldn’t of learnt half as much, particularly pigeon shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Old Farrier you parted with the redies and have you had your hands on her out in the field ? No point having a good pedigree if she won’t perform! Now there’s a bit of scandal for you ! Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
