inan 841 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 when out with the club as moonlighter said always to 100 yds and woe betide anyone who got trigger happy and short slipped .did it once myself never again . but it depends entirely where you are running most of the country slipping that long and the hare would be gone and out of sight so it depends on lots of things . Moonlighter ,and Boyo tell it like it was ,100yds for doubled up , yds for singlehanded,and a right bollocking if you got slip happy., no kickups in that club. Quote Link to post
