Wullz 408 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Went out at night down the Forth, had a couple of groups of greys and some mallard spotted, got into position with my mate, then the ack-ack gunners started up up, somewhere near kinkardine brig....a pair of specks about 3000 yards up!!! Everything in sight got up and went straight up the channel.....home, washed and out for a pint before 9!! There are some right mongs oot there....do they really think they have that range with a shotgun??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
