TheDodge Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi Everyone ANOTHER new guy to the forum. I joined mainly because when I scanned the forum I didn't recognise any names! Ok, a bit about me. I'm an established shooter. My main tool is a Logun S16s and in case of problems I have a Weihrauch HW80k as stand-by. I have a small shooting permission about a mile from where I live, just 5 acres or so but alive with bunnies. I'm a forcibly retired doorman, I last worked in RB's nightclub in Chester. I've worked many towns but to mention a few, Wolverhampton, Stoke, Shrewsbury, Birmingham. I was forced to give up in January as a walking problem I'd had for around 3 years got progressivly worse to a point I could only walk about 10 metres without awful pain. I have peripheral vascular disease and an operation was set up for the begining of June this year but the night I went into hospital, for the op the next day, they called the op off. It turned out I also had a heart problem. I was whisked off to Stoke hospital 6 days later and copped for a double heart by-pass. (It was this point I thought "enough is enough" and I retired). So, I'm 53 and waiting for a date for my original op (bi femoral by-pass), I do ****** all (still cant walk more than 10 metres) but I do drive down to my shoot and lay in wait for the Corvids. No need to say that the rabbit population has boomed in the time I've been laid up. Anyhow, I love to write so looking forward to the forum. Cheers TheDodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
