Vince Green Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The fact that so many people are applying for them (I wonder why?) and getting them has given the NSRA and NRA some grounds to put pressure on the Government to relax the restrictions on owning target pistols for competitive shooting. At the club where my friend goes there is a bloke who owns one and brings it to the range like in the old days. He can only buy 50 rounds a year on his certificate but the club sells .38 Special anyway. If EVERYONE applied and kept applying it would push the issue a bit further.

Suprisingly, the police don't appear too difficult about them. Everybody should apply Edited February 18, 2010 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody should apply You should think long and hard about posting such comments There are many of us that use a pistol as part of work. Try dispatching a wounded wise horse or cattle in a confined space with anything else and you'll soon have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullbore Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 don't need a pistol, just do what the new zealanders do and knife them! It is illegal under the deer act to use a blade on a beast until it is dead, so dispatch with a knife is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try dispatching a wounded wise horse or cattle in a confined space with anything else and you'll soon have a problem. Sorry, I didn't mean to upset the farmers and "proper" users. I was referring to the talk among the clubs where the view is apparantly growing that as long as you have a FAC for stalking/ vermin etc a pistol is not impossible obtain. You only have to see by the growing number of adverts for them in the shooting press that there must be a market. Dealers don't waste their money on buying stock and advertising unless there is somebody at the end of the line to buy the pistols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heladoxa Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Have a look at this lead. there is a lot about killing wounded deer by the roadside and it includes a pretty comprehensive section on how to do it with a knife. I saw them do it on hal-al (?) sheep on television, and it did not appear to cause the sheep any distress! http://www.thedeerinitiative.co.uk/pdf/gui...20published.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
