Shooting Alone

[philpot 5,035]

Because I am retired, I can go shooting at the drop of a hat, so to speak and with that in mind it is normally on my own as my shooting friends are working. The only time I go out with anyone is on a weekend but in truth I prefer weekdays, always quieter.

Most of the time on my own , shoot with 3 different blokes every now and again , had 6 over the years who wanted to shoot and who came out with me but only each only lasted no more than a month or two .

Eather to cold , to dark , girl friend / wife trouble , car or van trouble . Waste of time the lot of them ,or could it be me but i can't imagine that

On your own , I find best less noise, go where you want , no red glows all over the fields ( fags)!

Less light if you use torches , ect ect ,

But when all said and done to have a shooting buddy , wouldn't be bad and company and a crac , counts for a lot

I've been out with a few lads on here and a great time was had , and look forward to the next time

If I'm allowed now ?

I go alone most the time.. I think I prefer it on my own but sometimes it's a nice change to have a chat.

 

I find Biggest bags are on your own

I normally go with someone. There's a couple of reasons. Firstly if you're miles from the car and something bad happens, it's good to have backup. And secondly it's always good to have a witness if you get into a row with an anti.

 

And good to have someone to ponce fags off.

See what I'm mean about the red glowing things in the dark

Tight get walshie buy your own , or you an't getting a invite from me any time soon , Lol

My wife and I had 'Road Angels' and they saved us on quite a few occasions but they both died so now we get caught, my wife has just been on a speed awareness day and I am waiting for paperwork to come back for me to go on one..............................................fcuk.

 

Must tell you Si, you can set an alarm for a new speed trap that is not picked up on the system and one day whilst working out how to do that task sat on the drive at home, cracked it I thought, until I twigged that I set a new speed trap alarm in the drive so every day as I pulled into the drive the fcuking alarm went off, never did work out how to cancel it.

Like a bit of both meself ?

 

There's an old boy i go out with..(ffs I'm digging myself a deeper hole here haha) suffered a heart attack a few year's ago out on his perm..luckily near the farmhouse and he won't go out alone now so i get phone call once or twice a month off him for a look out which is a nice change of scenery. Gets picked up and dropped off too the crafty old fox! Ha

Since I moved to Lincolnshire I'm always out shooting on my own. Love it! Space and peace to think and get away from the cares and worries of running a business and in some of the most beautiful agricultural countryside in Britain.

 

I'm a really lucky bugger here. Got some fantastic rabbit and pigeon shooting to get away to.
