Nice pics all. It's a regret of mine not having taken many photos over the years. This one must be around 20 years ago as it is my 2nd rifle (cant remember the exact make/model (possibly Webley Excel?) someone will be able to tell me. I had a 2nd hand Spanish one for 4-5 years before called a Magnum 2000 by Gammo which had been thrashed to bits but had got a lot of stuff with it until it fell to bits.

 

 

After that I had an PCP FN in 177 which I really liked. Photo taken on my last ever trip out with it. Probably over 10 years ago.

A bit of duck flighting with the airgun. Shot a nice cock teal and a hen mallard.

Well J Darcy "my compliments" with your shooting, including the ducks and geese.

I was "Shouted at" for just mentioning that i fancied "pitting my wits/ fieldcraft" after night flight duck with an air rifle and was called "UNSPORTING" !

 

I wonder if you get the same flack as i did eh ?

 

 

 

" i`m waiting" ?

 

Well if you remember I was one of the contributers, what I said was it would probably considered unsporting, by most landowners,I did however qualify what I said, by admitting to having done it myself

Like this thread and pics,least showing photos isn't unsporting!? Or is it?

[mark williams 7,563]

Gone very quiet this topic

I never got to be "Unsporting" so i am unable to comment ! but PLEASE carry on without me .

Is there any sport in shooting stationary ducks that couldn't care less if you get within 10 yards of them?

 

Not that I care just asking.

Personally ,- "i wouldn`t know"

 

Maybe any of the lads " that have" maybe able to answer.-

 

 

Same as you- just saying

 

 

By the way, "if it matters" ? you will not get within 500 yds of the truly wild ducks on my permissions never mind your park ducks of 10 yds.

mmmm... I remember commenting on that thread too I was defending shotguns after comments been made about them been less humane than an air gun, i never said anything about unsporting! hope I didn't offend you!

Good, refreshing post JD - If nothing else this thread teaches both young and old that you don't need all the fancy kit, don't need to look like a commando and don't need to worry about which pellet has the best ballistic coefficient. Just get out there, have a go and learn from your mistakes.

nice old pics there J Darcy - i sold my fn19 a few months ago and regretted it. i fired one last week and the ping noise brought back some memories!
