broken man Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 gets my goat too, people who just eject them behind them instead if bining them, if im waiting at a stand and some one leaves them on the floor i always wait till they have taken a couple of steps away from the cage then i shout, mate, ill pick your emptys up shall i, half the time it shames them into picking them up, as after all were supposed to be a friendly bunch, if they ignore me or turn there back on me i just call them ignorant *****, lee Hmmmm, or earning you a punch in the mouth if you say it to the wrong person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hmmmm, or earning you a punch in the mouth if you say it to the wrong person Yes I can think of one or two blokes round here, that I might think twice about saying that to.

Chard Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Oh I just love these posers. If they could see themselves in a mirror, they wouldn't think it had much posing value It looks incredibly clumsy and cack-handed to me. As soon as I see somebody doing that, I automatically assume it's the first time they've ever picked up a gun. I couldn't think of a more complicated and clodhopping method of emptying a gun if I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Come on, you got to admit it's fun seeing how far they fly over your shoulder, or seeing if you can hit the person stood behind you on the nose I'm after some proper powerful ejector springs, some real illegal jobbies that'll propel my empty cases into another stand to wind everyone up I habitually catch my empties and stick them in the bin, or my pocket if in the field, but having said that the mod a gunsmith applied to my Beretta springs will chuck empties a fair old distance over my shoulder if I let them.

Ozzy Fudd Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hmmmm, or earning you a punch in the mouth if you say it to the wrong person funny, no matter what ive said to people at the clay range, theyve never threatened to thump me maybe its something to do with the black mossberg pump hanging from my shoulder, and the manic look in my eye....

Evil Elvis Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 :blink: Come on, you got to admit it's fun seeing how far they fly over your shoulder, or seeing if you can hit the person stood behind you on the nose Im with bagsey on that one, theres something quite satisfying about the hollow "donk" that I get when my cynergy ejects the carts 10 feet and land on Broken mans head..................... Its a sure sign im shooting **** if any carts go over my shoulder!!!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodit Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Shooting at JJs today and half the stands had no buckets. But I have been told not to worry about picking up emptys there, still generally do though. Even gone as far as buying a extendable magnet thingy from Bush gear cos Im a fat lazy *** who dont like getting his hands dirty when shooting the semi auto. Mind you I do get some pleasure from ejecting them from the Browning but then again you have to pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan147 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 this is one thing that really winds me up on clay grounds. at one club i go to one of the lady markers watches and says if you dont pick them up "would you like me to hold your gun whilst you pick up your empty cartridges off the floor" The person feels so obliged they do so! Quite a few people dont need telling, I allways pick mine up. I dont wait on others so Why should someone else have to wait on me? I also pick up all my empty carts on my permissions - If you go shooting on your permissions do you leave empty carts everywhere? I dont think so or you would not be invited back again!

jonnyoftheboy Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 went to west kent yesterday with 3 gents off of the forum..... there was a group of 3 guys, all tweeded up using orange carts...... not once did they put their carts in the bucket (actually, I stand corrected..... at one stand a groundsman asked them to as they were walking off & they reluctantly went back & did it). We followed them on around 4 stands.... orange carts EVERYWHERE!!! why? annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 That groundsman should be more grateful for people as considerate as those gentleman for making sure he remains gainfully employed. If everyone picked up their own carts and filled up their own traps then the grounds staff would be unemployed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I like to think that incorporated within the cost of my round of clays is the wages of the cartridge picker upper wallah / bod. If everyone picked up their cartridges that man would be without work. He would go on the dole thereby burdening the state and putting all our taxes up, his missus might have to go on the game and his kids would have to go up the chimneys. The heartless people that pick up their cartridges should think of the people who are gainfully employed to pick them up. Next time you pick your cartridges up, be more thoughtful and leave them on the floor. Indeed, you should think about scattering them and placing them in prominent but hard to reach places. :look: tried this excuse when running down the school corridor with mud all over my shoes - from the lunchtime 100 man football match. "the cleaners are paid hourly and so will be grateful of all the mud I am bringing in and dropping everywhere" cost me a week in detention (and IMO cost the cleaning ladies family to go hungry that week due to the lack of work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyoftheboy Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Mungler..... I'm surprised that the Essex Mafia don't have their own personal "Cartridge picker upper" that comes with them on each shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamW Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I work at 2 clay grounds, and at the end of the shoot, you should see the number of carts left on the floor, Now a couple of comments about "keeping some guy employed" do you not think we have enough to do keeping the traps full and working, or would you rather we stopped the shooting on that stand so we can collect the empties in the cage to ensure "you" don't slip with a loaded gun on them when its wet? It must be harder ensuring the carts don't hit you or your mates than it is just cupping them and putting them in the bin, That said, as the comment says "keeping somebody employed" if you don't mind paying for it!....
