    Well done Pointer
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks Rushy. Two of those pheasant were a double rise, my first. Le Piglet didn't have much to do with those birds but he enjoyed the walk, and consequently made the photoshoot haha

    Congrats! Double rise is the pinnacle of pheasant hunting.

    Thanks Snuffit - I'm quite rapped. To shoot a double rise is one thing, but to do it with your loved ones is special. To do it with the man who fostered your love for hunting and the outdoors makes it even more special to me.

    I wonder how long before I get the opportunity to do it again, and if I do, it will take me back to the first time I did it, surrounded by family.

    Went out with my neighbours son weekend before last, and the dog got onto to some strong scent beds but that was all...saw quite a number of Mallards which was really cool. Was so hoping the lad would get something but hopefully this weekend might see a bird fly pass!!The leg is still sore if I am not careful...damnation!!!!

    You are showing your age Scouser. I was only a boy when that movie came out
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
