Due to a topic i have just read,i think its advisable to everyone new to this sport of shooting to first identify the animal/bird in the sights to be in season and the chosen quarry.

on the lamp,a deer laid on long grass could easily be mistaken for a rabbit.

If in doubt,DO NOT take the shot,it WILL be there for another day!!!

 

all the best

 

The same applies to a long or moving shot.if you feel you are unable to place the shot in a killing area,DO NOT take it.a miss may well result in a lamp shy animal or a hit will result in a painfull death or life..

As said,leave it,you WILL see it again

Sound advice...

[Ricksomniac 3]

Agreed, good advice. Although I know the person who wrote the post being referred to had enough experience to know it wasn't a deer.

i see a certain post and as there are many youngster and people new to the sport,i thought it wise to start this thread although i doubt it will be ignored

[BASE JUMPER 18]

Im with you 100percent on that

[the ratcatcher 1]

sound advice dont take the shot unless you know what your shooting at and its a kill

[matt_hooks 188]

I'm intrigued now, which post is this referring to?

[beddylurcher 70]

why just young people? even the most experience hunters owt there shoulnt take a shot if you dont think you will kill it. i always get lafed at my the older people cos im only 18 and i sometimes make them look like rookies.

wrong section!

 

this is the most popular sport attractive to the young and inexperienced as air guns are very easily obtained so the wrong section,i think not.

your not wrong there.ive had a couple of youngsters show me up shooting with my own gun

one of my sons first time out,8 years old killed more with a 410 than i did with my shotgun roost shooting

Because its just young shooters that are inexperienced, 90% of inexperienced idiots on here are probably adults and not in the airgun section, no offence but go and cause an arguement in your own section
