paulhyd 0 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hi, Last night lying in a field, after charles with a .223, now I know I am in an airgun forum, this is just to keep you informed of the situation, this particular field is like fox central, everything crosses this field, including a public footpath to the far right, but in your periferal vision,so always aware of walkers, lie still, cammoed up, already sorted 3 three charlies this week . Awaiting the next one, then out of the corner of my eye there is a aston villa shirt sticking out like a sore thumb,on the field horizon, but not on the footpath, closer to me. Then there two of them carrying guns over their shoulders heading to the wood at the side of me, one lad had a villa shirt on, short sleeved, the other had just a jumper, no coat, and believe me it wasn't very warm. Jumper lad sees me, makeing a bee line for me, 50 Yards from me he starts bawling to me, Hey dont shoot this way as we are going lamping in the wood, To which, my answer was, Have you got permission to shoot on this land, answer No, you dont need permission to shoot airguns. Oh yes you do was my reply, But there only airguns, says he. Is it your land, he says, Yes it is, Oh he says, On the next field there was a shooter arrested for shooting, without permission who was charged with armed tresspass, by the boys in blue, Hes doing a 5 stretch now, Its my land when I have the written permission of the land owner, and have had for some time, these two herberts have no permission to be on there, especially when a .223 would probably make them deceased if a shot went astray, apart from anything it gives the responsible shooter a bad name, if anything goes wrong, now you should live and let live, but it might not have been a pellet gun and they might have shot me with a .223, I wouldn't be too happy about that would I. If villa shirt wants to look inconspicuous, he needs to hide at villa park, the rabbits wouldn't see him there he would blend in. Quote Link to post

patdahat 41 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 fair enough they shouldnt have been there but why would you be shooting a big calibur gun so close to a public walk way, is there a certain distance that you have to be away from public road,footpath's, houses to fire a shot anyway permission or not??

Ideation 8,216 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I think the only points you can take from it - is that it is really worrying that ANYONE can go out and buy a firearm capable of killing from a shop with no licence, training or skill, and that lamping with a rifle is also (half the time due to the shooter) f*****g lethal.

Karpman 44 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I just think he is a brummie blue man and hates villa shirts. Or am I missing the point entirely Karpman Quote Link to post

paulhyd 0 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I also have air guns, but I also have permissions, where i use cammo, other shooters have villa shirts, thats up to them, Get Permission, to shoot like the rest of us, and the footpath is on the other side of the field, to the right of me, the field is rated by the fao, as 308 . it has plenty of backstops for safe shooting, if you know how to shoot and why, and when. It could have been any football shirt, I couldnt give a dam, GET PERMISSION TO SHOOT. End of. Quote Link to post
paulhyd 0 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 You may very well be missing the point, as an outspoken hypocrite i feel the need to placate my bordom, by posting on this forum, and trying to extol the virtues of the safe use of those, wickid fire sticks, that harm those little birds, and those nasty little wabbits, I have been in the army but it wasnt one man, it was a big club i was in. If I have upset you in any way please except my appologies . I still think you have missed the point . Do I give a toss, not a hope in hell. Quote Link to post

Steady on, mate, you're not on a forum full of chav w*nkers Just to put another slant on it, Paul, one place I shoot over with a mate (airguns, permission ) has the problem of knobs with HMR's and .22 rimmys randomly driving the lanes and tracks lamping from 4x4s and I don't for one second think about posting on the relavent section for them to imply that all RF users are poachers so please extend the same respect to us Cheers.

You'd be better spending your time getting in touch with your MP than posting that on here, if that's how you feel about airguns Edited April 10, 2011 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Eee I don't know. Never far from a spat or cross word here these days. Paul. Thank you for your concern sir but, I think everyone here with a permission to shoot over...has permission to shoot over it Simon Quote Link to post
