soreshoulder Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 twas saturday, been out foxing the night before so fairly tierd. My gramp asked me along to a duck shoot, near horsley. He says you can use my gun and have a pop or 2. so i say fair enough. we arrived , and i watched in dismay as my gramp had an appauling first drive. i was his spotter (and his gundog). it came to the second drive and grampy really showed his true colours bringing down about 10. and then onto the 3rd drive and it was my go. i was shaking and only thinking about the recoil, of the 32gr steel. he handed me the gun and we skipped off to the post. The beaters went in and i could hear wings a flapping. The first one came out of the wood circles behind me i aimed in front and pulled the trigger. it came down stone dead. :blink: my heart was pumping. i turned too se my gramp smiling. the second was a lovely bird, high about 30 yard i was giving him an inch leed, but as i was swinging my gramp said give him a gate. so i did and he came dwon a beauty. The owner of the shoot was smiling at me and he shouts , "You lucky begger" so i go onto shot 7 duck, and had another cracking shot as one was flying over the pond dropped him stone dead with a splash. After the drive, the man on the next post, (hidden behind woodland) came up to me and goes bludy hell gramp shot well on that one. well i can tell you fellas for the rest of the day i had a smile from ear to ear. And i showed up all them oldies ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
