mccroryart 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 PVC windows are fairly common now but a few years ago when I had all my old wooden ones replaced they were quite posh and expensive. I kept a few ducks at the time good for eggs and attracting rats. I was busy admiring them when a rat came into view, I grabbed my air rifle, eased open the window, turned out the light and took aim from the back of the room. I lined up the cross hairs and squeezed the trigger. With the scope zeroed at 30 yards the pellet when straight through the window frame missing the rat but sending splinters of PVC flying. I filled up the frame with white mastic, told no one and said nothing. Until now! Confession is good for the soul Eamonn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reynardhunter 3 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 went out pheasant shooting, first of november one year, all set up dog in the trailer, there were two other lads with me and as we drove down a farm lane we saw at least 7 pheasants most of them cocks running for the hedge, we jumped out aqnd got on either side of the ditch and sent the labrador in, within a minute birds started to burst from the hedge in all directions i could hear several bangs from my companions and was thinking lovely , something has to come out on my side, wiyh that two cocks clattered from the hedge, in my mind i thought a right and left! bearing in mind i had a semi automatic berreta with four shots i definitly had these birds dead, i gave them a bit of lead so as not to damage the meat i was so sure to be eating the follwing week and sqeezed the trigger! to my horror all i heard was click! click! click! click! and the birds just flew on! in all my exitement i had forgot to load the f*****n gun! i still get a lot of stick to this day from my mates Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Confession is good for the soul Eamonn i did the same thing with an air rifle but shot the lamp my mate was holding! he was sat in the landy,i had to get out and walk round the front of it and take aim at a bunny that was behind the landrover....thought my mate would be watching me not the bunny and i couldn't see the lamp odscuring the muzzle through the scope!!what a bang!! one lightforce 170 and 2 shocked lads later we decided to call it a night!

fireman 10,861 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Shooting ferrel pigeons for my ferrets in a large field,shot one the flock flew about 50 yrds and settled again.I loaded up the gun and as long as i hid by my leg the pigeons would stay on the ground long enough for me to get close enough for another shot.I stubbed the barrel in the dirt by accident and was breaking the gun to clean out the dirt when i stubbed my foot and pulled the trigger,well i had my little finger over the barrel end and shot it.the pellet didn't go all the way through and i couldn't prize it out so i had to go to the local hospital.The lady behind the desk asked me what i had done and made me repete it so her friend and everyone in the waiting room could hear,she then asked me "why did you do a thing like that?".As if i didn't feel stupid enough allready.
