Dougy Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Nice one Simon, just a bit concerned though about those not head shot and still twitching, do you rush up and despatch humanely with a priest or similar ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 That’s how I was taught to shoot back in the 50’s At 10 yards with an iron sighted BSA Cadet Major except it was wasps which Father detested. Jam wiped around the rim of a jar full of water. A farthing for every head in the water, but fined a shilling for every broken jar. Soon in debt until you learned to concentrate on the target ignoring all else. When I finally shot myself out of debt, Father told me, OK, now you can shoot.

London Best Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Come down here and shoot the lot of ‘em Simon. The house gets full of them when my mate turns his heifers out in the field by my back door. My granddaughter bought me a six shot rubber band firing wooden revolver just for hunting flies in the conservatory. Great sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondoggy Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 On no, just found this thread and the video has been removed, would have loved to watch it. I spent many a happy hour shooting flies off the house wall with an ASI repeating air rifle some fifty odd years ago. Best shots were while they where mating, two for one most satisfying even though pellets were dirt cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon Its not that i have an issue killing anything - God knows i shoot every day - trap every day - But to me its just the lack of need. Your videos are brilliant - they show skill - they tell of the need to reduce crows or foxes to protect ground nesting birds - or lambs. Killing for the sake of killing - i dont think is what you are about - look at Peter ! - hes safe as houses ! Hope you see where i was coming from - and yeah i trhink its so sad and indeed pathetic that we now have so many copycat fly killers - but as i say if thats all they can manage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
