DUNKS Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Looks like a newly formed shooting company, ran from Lakeside sporting Leics offering simulated game days this winter. Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are merely an excuse to fire 500 cartridges as fast as possible. I am not saying they are not fun, but anyone who thinks they remotely resemble game shooting is deluded. ps: I am a hypocrite because I attend them as a guest but no way would I pay to do it.

Yes great fun, but not like the real thing. Of course the real game is shooting your neighbours "birds" as they are lining up on them!

Then, when they fancy a go at driven game shooting somebody might suggest they try a “simulated day” before tackling the real thing. The poor beginner may then think that is what happens when game shooting, 5/600 shots as fast as possible and try to shoot your neighbours birds. He is likely to be disappointed in how much shooting he actually gets, or worse, gain a bad reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of truth in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra points if you drop the bird stone dead at the next pegs feat. Followed with a “would you mind grabbing that one for me ?” another fun one - we were walking between drives on an end of season tidy up day ! We were having a quickest gun to blast the pheasant ! it helps if it’s your dog that flushes the bird and you can read her like a book 😎 Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
