    I would suggest putting a saucer of beer out to attract snails. At 30 yards it would be a challenge. But someone would drink it (snails and all)

    You've quickly seen the flaw in your own plan there Pete. I reckon Moletrapper would be first over the line at 30yds unless there's a barbed wire fence on the way

    How about shooting at records, nearest to the hole, no, a bad idea, if I remember my first shot went through the hole and nobody believed me so I suppose thats not a good idea, we wouldn't be able to check. I suppose we could put some on edge and see if anybody could hit them that way, the shooters would have to shoot from the same spot in turn though so that it was from the same angle, say five shots for a small sum like 50p.

    just an Idea.

    That'd work, Mel.

    And, if shooting at them face on, we could have summat behind the hole in case of any disputed hole shots.

    On edge also sounds good.

    Where's the usual head shots only brigade?

    Snails deserve equality too.

    Maybe we ought to specify a minimum calibre for snail shooting? 6.35mm? You wouldn't want to wound the bugger and have him charge you.

    I only use a 100ft/lb daystate mythical caliber for body shots
    I do have another anti snail option to be exclusively revealed at the bash!

    Mmm.....just another thought on this........

    Excess alcohol and insufficient protection may result in unsightly snail trails.

    Well, I wasn't actually going to SAY that, Pauly.

    Will you be visiting the range and/or permission at the weekend matey?

    Hopefully range tomorrow and permission on Sunday Tone. Due to me taking up most of the bedroom space with my guns and paraphernalia, the Ratty I bought from you resides in the loft so.... methinks I should get up there and bring it out for a session tomorrow.

    Sounds like a heavenly weekend, Pauly.

    Make sure you take a Boinger to the range as well, though.

    A short time after the April Bash I thought I ought to give one of my Ratties an outing. One capsule later I put it away and got the little HW70 out for a play and didn't want to put it down.

    BOING!

    Have a great time matey.

    I only take Boingers to the range Tone (unless I need to 'test out' a PCP) as it is soooooo much more satisfying. I'm thinking the Ratty would be handy for those ferals in the barn on Sunday so best get it zeroed and re-familiarise myself with it.
