Great post, thanks for sharing. Great suggestions for improving domestic security too 👍🏻 your comments on confronting them and exhibiting the right level of control is spot on too.

This ^^ 👍🏻👍🏻

I guess in my view I'll challenge that in other ways (writing to MP's etc) rather than taking the risk personally. If that makes me a sheep - baa? If I lived in the US like @MarinePMI - I'd be writing a post with 'firearms for self defense' as the title 😂👍🏻

(Conscious you're not replying to me) But that's the sad state of affairs in this country, and how few rights homeowners have. I'm not saying I accept it - we all have to decide how best to handle it with our own circumstances. For me - risk not worth it. Your circumstance could be different...

Tim Pilbeam has loads of videos on YouTube shooting running targets. Silly question - but 'why' does a club need a home office range, and the massive safety zone behind it? Seems completely illogical that any farmer could fire away on private land, with no training. But a club with very...

It sounds like the police have concluded that your house is likely a target for break in. The police have no idea control of your shooting activities - and there's nothing wrong with coming home in the middle of the night from foxing, and the burglars break in when you're there gun in hand. I...

Well done Tom @Chiltern Sporting - hats off 👍🏻👏🏻

Welcome from another Warwickshire resident 👍🏻

I'm not sure on the practicalities of your child's competing, but when I acquired my target rifle (at 16) my dad wasn't involved at all. I was gifted it by a friendly member from a local club, and I kept ammunition at the rifle club where I trained, taking it with me for competitions etc. I...

Makes sense - thank you for explaining. Hadn't considered losing a bolt - but that's a really good point. Thanks for the explanation 👍🏻

Couldn't agree more with your post. What is the procedure for bolt action military rifles after checking cleared? My old (civvy) club made us leave it open with a breach flag, or bolt out entirely. Do you know the logic behind leaving the bolt in? Stop stuff getting into the action? Genuinely...

Glad it isn't just me! My wife thinks I'm daft every time I do it 😂

Does anyone (user or knife makers) ever bring their own kitchen knives with them on holiday? I hate cooking in other kitchens because most often the knifes suck and are blunt. So I bring my own... Wrapped in some towel type arrangement. Got me thinking - maybe a pair (large and small) with a...

I can't remember exactly what - but for example if I was lined up on a roe kid this time of year but can't see any other deer it raises some questions (I.e. where is mum / sibling etc). It's amazing how well their camouflage blends in. Lying down, with their heads down in grass, you're looking...

Couldn't agree more on the fieldcraft point - it's a good point to make that just because you've spotted a deer, doesn't guarantee you shoot it! This time of year, I often find roe lying in hedgerows in the middle of the day. With binos you're looking for an ear moving across a field, and...
