is it a porbeagle? I've had a few blue sharks off the west of ireland in the past. great action shot though.

Hello to all Just filled in my SGC application form and will be submitting once its countersigned at the weekend. I've been air gunning in the past but have now had a few lessons at the local clay shooting school. Although 9 out of 10 cartridges will be shot at clays hopefully I'll be able to get onto something more edible soon. K
