Bright eyes - aah, leave it alone will ya!


A nice brace - lamped on the golf course in the rain.

There were these 3 squirrels living in a tree....

and I bagged them with my Air Arms.

From days shooting on a rather prestigious estate in Warwickshire. Over the course of 12-18 months me an my shooting bud Cal bagged over 128 tree rats - the trees have never had it so good!

Squirrel nutkins - 70 yarder this one!

Snow bunnies

My mate Cal took this pic of me - the snow had settled and turned crunchy underfoot in places. This pair were bagged in a wooded area on a golf course in Warwickshire - the Buck (in front) was a real big bunny. No match for the S410 though!

Clay shoot in Bedford - Sport trap


My Beretta Silver Pigeon. Beautifully made and very comfortable.

Look at the concentration - no ear or eye protection either - tut tut!

Hatton Flight - Dusk

Ledgering for Bream one summers evening...Maggot and Carlsberg!

8 bore fun. A trip to the CLA Game Fair at Blenheim Palace and I had the opportunity to shoot an 8 bore shotgun - from memory it was a black powder gun that could fire one hell of a lot of lead quite someway - I managed to hit the clays too! Created a very loud bang, a lot of smoke and got a dislocated shoulder all for £6. I encourage you to do the same - brilliant!!!

The Portabote I share with my brother - this pic was taken from National Trust car park on the edge of Derwent Water in August 2009. Can't wait to get myself (and maybe the wife and kids) back there. I can dream.
Top: Air Arms S410 .177 (All mine! with logun scope mounted lamp)

Bottom: Air Arms S410 Carbine .22 (My mates)

Bunnies nicely laid out on the 9th hole!

Midnight Rambler



Shooting at a golf course in Warwickshire (yes we had permission!) to rid the greens and fairways of their rabbits. My mate and I would walk miles between holes covering a lot of ground - even shooting in temperatures of -8 in a blizzard. Happy days.
