    Is this a challenge My good Fellow!! By the way you are sounding off, it mighty looks like it is!!

    & by what means shall we take this challenge on? As it being in the collectors section, we shall do this in a gentlemans way .


    I said it before & I'll say it again 'THAT DUCK IS MINE!!!' , I'm quite professional when comes to matters like these

    I' don't if you do any of that at all. As then I'll just use that one on a proper HFT coarse . I'll just go & use one of my other poorly zero'ed rifles for our duel

Normally I'd say may the best man win although for our purpose of seeing who will win the duck I would have to say may the best muppet loose. Ha ha . Atb: Gareth W-B.
    Seriously I wouldn't giving that ago as the challenge. As long as first & second prize is a 'DUCK'

    Gentlemen! Gentlemen please!

    I will ensure that there will be enough yellow plastic ducks in quantities suitable for this event and for the calibre of competition, the relevant equipment used and the shooting standards of the competitors.

    P. S. Does anyone know where I can buy yellow plastic ducks in bulk?
