    No sympathy here.

    Put it down to a 'life experience'.

    My great lesson came about shooting a Natal Native Police Martin-Enfield carbine in .303 Cordite. I was twelve years old, and knew it all.

    Two shots later I realised that I knew nothing.

    If that question was intended for me, then the answer was a nearby mountainside.

    You'll be overjoyed to learn that both shots hit it.

    Actually not bad (ISH) at 50m. 10 out of 15 in the black freehand, mate Ady hit the same number with his 2 band
    although hes a wuss for a big lad. He only uses 50grns with patched round ball so next to no recoil. Great fun with
    plenty of smoke/flame/bang all tied together with a dollop of friendly banter.
    One of the probationary members had a couple of goes and i recon he's just increased his "want" list.
