Prestion Fields Ford

[sollihull]

I know sheep are known as proper man eaters

Hee Hee Hee, I swear one at Preston Fields was eyeing my Tyre up the last time I went through there!! Maybe I should check my Flat Spare for Teeth Marks too !!!!!


It's a bit Boggy on the Lowsonford side as You go down Past the Farm but once you get through the Ford it clears nicely

Ah ok, shotguns are still cool, use to do a fair bit of it myself when i was 16-17. Parents would never let me have my own cert when i was younger so a mates dad of mine let me buy a .410 (dont laugh!) and keep it in his safe and I always went shooting with him and my mate anyway.

I also use to do ferreting (had 3 ferrets as well as a whole litter of the little critters) then shoot the bolting rabits with the guns.

Im thinking of getting a new air rifle to see if I want to get back into the shooting game. Do you go lamping or rabbiting andy?

[Apache-Andy]

yes both rabbiting usually with dog and shotties tho. I use the 12g's for most everything these days. From clays to woodcock and pheasant.

I'm (sort of) saving up for a HW100T - sexiest and most finest PCP rifle out there, imho.



Hehe still have a bolt action .410 in my dad's cabinet My favourite tool is my semi auto

There both nice guns andy. Mates dad had a gun like that, is it a 3 shot? 2 in the magaizne and one in the chamber? If i got another shotgun, id prob go for a 20gauge over and under.

I always found rabbiting with shot guns though not that great cus after uve got one they then dive for the warren and then your screwed..................unless u got a ferret

I once saw my tiny jill drag out a huge buck rabbit by its face, its was a sight to behold, the rabbit was 3 times her size and it was making like this screaming sound, i didnt realise rabbits cud do.

[Apache-Andy]

it is a nasty scream in it not nice.
Yeah she's a semi - Franchi 712 Raptor. I love sticking one in the breach and letting the action go KER-CHUNK...always makes me smile

[Turbochops]

Where do u go for your guns mate, is guns and sports in stratford much cop these days?

[Apache-Andy]

http://www.guntrader.co.uk is your friend.

I get shells and pellets from stratford, thats about it. Other good place (thos expensive) is Francis Lovell in witney near oxford. Always worth a trip for a huge selection

[Turbochops]

Cheers for that mate, i want to go size up some air rifles. Want a .22 rabbit stopper. Your fronty wud be excellent for lamping with the hood down.

[Apache-Andy]

yes it would (is)
just let me know when you wanna

[Turbochops]

If i get a gun ill let u know! Do you know someplace that would allow that?

[Apache-Andy]

allow what? you loose with a firearm? no

[Turbochops]

No rabbit lamping from the back of a fronty?

No rabbit lamping from the back of a fronty?

been there ...done that.. huge amounts of fun!!!!!!!!!!!
my brothers got guns and we always went lamping

[Turbochops]

Yep ive done rabbit shooting in the day just hideing out in the bushes (oooh er) and as long as ur quiet and downwind they will pop back out again. Want a go at lamping 4x4 driving and shooting excellent

[Apache-Andy]

yes done it from a fronty not up here tho, we'd have to travel a little for that.

[Turbochops]

Sounds good to me mate, how far is far? Maybee we can organise something in the new year. Where do u go shooting round here then? Or are you just a clay man?

[Apache-Andy]

Around here I have a fair few permissions, and a couple of mates do too, so its all around warwickshire / worcestershire / gloucestershire, and up onto the cotswolds really. Mostly out past chipping campden.

I only usually do clays once a month to keep my eye in, and for the social aspect.

[Turbochops]

Sounds good mate One of the things thats surprised me about shooting was that it is not necessarily the land ower that holds the shooting rights over an area.
