Here's my little toy. Bagged many a shed rat with it.

I've just got back from my last ride of 2018, 60 miles stopping at the garden centre in Countesthorpe

I've just been checking my mileages for 2018, I've pedalled 4598 miles and driven 5488 miles.

Looks like one, but wasn't advertised as such. It's a pretty good replica that would take a brave man to spot if it was waived in their face..........

Aye lad, that's be no fun at all. All mine go in a gun safe that weighs more than I do and is bolted to the wall and floor. Shotgun and air rifle have trigger locks, my 2 air pistols (the SIG and a modified SMK CP1) have container padlocks on the trigger guard that prevent the trigger being pulled. Shotgun cartridges, pellets and CO2 get locked in the fire safe which is very robust and bolted to the rafters in the attic.

No one fannies with my weapons except me. It boils my wee wee when kids get hold of air weapons and kill themselves. That ain't accidental - that's gross negligence on the part of the parents, and gross recklessness on the part of the kid. and it double blinks my wee that irresponsible parents dont get prosecuted yet responsible gunners face tighter and tighter legislation...legislation that negligent parents then ignore and the cycle continues.... Not in my world matey.

I keep the crossbow to deter nighttime hobbledeyhoys. That's safe enough - its complex to cock and takes a lot of strength. By the time mini D is old enough to be strong enough to use it she would be an adult anyway!

I had a pistol but traded it in for a rifle. I have 2. A Hale and parker, and another one. One of my grandsons has a rifle as well that he uses for target practice.

At least she doesn't have the end caps on the sight.

She holds it the old fashioned way, elbows in. I like her already.

At a rough guess I'd say you've rode about 2000 miles more than me

The have started, hopefully they would have run out by midnight

Is that another Drago euphemism

Clearly likes his weapon

Sweet. Cant quite see from the pic, but is it a Hi Power clone?

I got a 10M range in the garden, great for pistol work. I can extend d that out to 18 for rifles, which isn't ideal really - set them up for that distance and they're all wrong for the 25M lane at the range. I use the On Target range in Nortnampton, which isn't far to go.

During the season I'm fortunate to be able to shotgun at a farm on the edge of the village who does a few shoots and compost throughout the year. When the North Koreans invade I'll be ready!

Thought it was them dam Russians first
