Good Day On The The Range But Why Do Some Folk Have To Be Knobs

[mark williams 7,550]

Years ago i went to an "open" shoot (shotgun, clay pigeon) and when my turn came i got out my old Zabali ( side by side) shotgun,- a non ejector box lock .

Well all the tweed suits started laughing openly at me - lads i was skint, no work at the time 1984 miners strike was in full swing.

I quietly shouted "pull" (several times) and got a full card of 30/30.

You could have heard a pin drop, and the silence was so deafening i put the old box lock away and said nothing.

I won that cup, it is on my window sill for all to see, i still use the gun to deadly effect controlling pests on the farms, and the club asked me to shoot for them, which i did.

The lesson was tweed suits and insults dont make a good shot.
