    When will You Shoot a Pellet in 2017......

    ....if you haven't already done so ?

    Me, I have not even fired a single shot of any kind as yet and I can't see when I'm going to !

    I don't expect to shoot again. So much more freedom growing up in the 70/80s...

    That makes me feel sad, for you and the future of all shooting sports.

    I'm now onto my 2nd tin of pellets since Christmas morning with my HW45. Probably done 150 this evening. Talk about addictive. I have never been a pistol shooter, I got the 45 just so I could get my shooting fix during the shorter days and would recommend it.

    I was also given a voucher for 75 clays at my local shooting ground, I will be doing that this week sometime.

    I went clay pigeon shooting with my cousins on 29th and I've fired off about 200 pellets over the last couple of days down the garden, I'm one of the lucky ones, my garden is 70 yards long

    I'll be out tonight

    I managed to get a very large new permission a few months ago. Hopefully I'll be out with a new shooting buddy and my old shooting buddy - it should be a good night

    All of the above.

    Me too: sorry to hear this, Big Seth.



    However, from a personal point of view, sometimes it can be three weeks between sessions. This year has started positively, though. A session down the hallway on New Year's Day....and an extra-bonus one yesterday!

    Watch it all go pear-shaped from now on!

    I'm on holiday this week, so once the kids are back at school (tomorrow) I'll hopefully get out a couple of times. I was out on Saturday with the Impact and bagged a couple of pigeons sitting in the trees (so much easier to see them now there are no leaves on the trees).

    Been out most days during the holidays, either with spring or powder. Yesterday looking for a squirrel or pigeon all I found was damn woodcock and pheasants bursting out of cover almost standing on them.

    Maybe this afternoon before going back to work then def Saturday again
    Nice things happen to nice people.
