Keith 66 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Quite right too. Only a few centuries ago children were running powder charges to the guns on HMS Victory & her sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid you have just confirmined what I suspected and it fits in with my experiences in various types of gun club for over fifty years. Shooters are becoming less tolerant of others shooting disciplines and interests and this weakens our negotiating position in opposing restrictions on our sport. I have shot percussion guns at both Westlands and The Oxfordshire without any problem. I usually pop out for a practice before a driven day.
