bugg 84 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 As an update our 4 yr old lad accompanied us on an afternoon \evening mooch around one of the rabbit heavy perms, I shot 3 whilst he looked on and laughed at a stroppy mum who still had a full mag after a couple hours, he wanted a go on the rifle so layed him prone and explained what to do etc, whether he could see through the scope or not I'm not too sure but the hedge was a good target to not miss, but the best bit.... Both kids were eating our rabbit curry that's been in the slow cooker all day and loving it, very happy with that Quote Link to post
