airbourne 128 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 That's what I thought, not a problem I will wait until it's cut, i think I will have to get stocked up with ammo I think it's going to be a few good days shooting. Quote Link to post

stoggy 598 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I know a farmer who grows cabbages and brussel sprouts and he will not let anyone shoot over them in case they get lead in. Quote Link to post
