bigmac 97kt 13,807 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well we first met Daz39 and his son at the shooting range a few years ago he had no where to go apart from the range we got talking to him and my grandson (little hunter) was showing daz,s son his rifles and letting him have a go of them. at the end of the day we say,d to daz make your self a member of thl and we will be in touch with you . So that night he had made him self a member of the forum ,Now on the way home from the range me and Viz talked about taking daz out for the night shooting so a time and place was set and we took him out shooting . It was like taking a troop of miners in hob nail boots with you lol and by feck could he talk ,but when you did not want him to . , well one night turned into mths out with us showing him the ropes how to walk how to shoot and stork his pray we had some GOOD NIGHTS some laughs and he had some shouting at lol. But he made good with all his training took every thing in and put it to use you should of seen his face when he took his first rabbit . It was a summer morning laying prone with the sun on our backs i had seen the rabbit come out of the wood land and sit up right on a dirt path i told him to take aim (30 yrds) and let one go he hit it right in the kill zone . The plan was to lay up and get the others but he was up on his feet and off to get his prize lol like a big kid walking back with his prize held high and punching the air well the rest was history he became a top hunter and shooter i put him on to his perms and he got them two factory units and the farm land around them . witch fetches me to the title of this post he was promoted at work but this meant he has no time for shooting and hunting so he has taken the time to sort every thing out for me and Viz and has passed the perms over to us . Just go,s to show that if you put the time in with some one they will pay you back one day but the best thing is we have made a very good friend and that is some thing you can not knock He is welcome to come back any time he wants or even if he wants a night out there is all ways a rifle hear for him ANY TIME HE WANTS JUST PING US AND WE WILL SORT IT He will be a miss atvbmac :thumbs: PS, here you go Daz a blast from the past keep in touch mate 11 Quote Link to post

Daz39 962 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Well to be honest, last time out I dropped 6 and Sean and Mac between em could only manage 5 haha. They just hold me back these days lol. Seriously, it's been ace and I'm not vanishing. Just re-prioritising for a few years. Those with kids know, if you lad wants to spend time with you, TAKE IT. My daughter is 17 and wants feckall to do with me, so while the little one still thinks I'm not an arsehole, and wants to spend time with me, he gets all the spare hours I have. And you know, bills need paying. But I have learned loads and it means a lot to be able to give a bit back to these two nutters. Not like they need more land mind. Cheers for the pics Mac, cracking day that! Ball ache cleaning them all though haha 6 Quote Link to post
