hawkeye Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 What can i say Jay but well shot everyone is always saying that you are a better shot than the OLD MAN. Next time you are out show him how to get them high pigeons. As for ciltalgarth thanks for the advise on the phone the other night and best of luck up NORTH in bonnie SCOTLAND with the new job.. When Rob and Jay come up to see you maybe the two of you can give Rob a few pointers in shooting..!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony9r Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 A big thank you to all Tony9r The gun he is using is a 12 G 12 1/2" stock and 24 1/4 " barrels , putting 28 grm loads through it Thank's mate ... maybe I should invest in another 12G then, and use the smaller loads for the lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Started him on 24 grm subsonic loads and worked up with what felt comfy . Got to 28 grm and stopped at that Just ask the lad to be honest you will be amazed how heavy he will go if the gun fits him ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got him on the Ely Fourlongs with the .410 (would have got Magnums, but they were out of stock), but he still insists on a larger bore You've made my mind up... off to the Barn Shop we go in the next few day's to hopefully find a nice 12 that fits c/w a few box's of 24's & 28's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Nice to see a youngster so genuinely happy ! Just a quick comment to help with your photos, if the subject is backlit by the sky/window etc. point the camera at their feet first and press the shutter button halfway this will set it correctly then without moving your finger frame the picture and press the shutter fully.
