A manly thread: Guns and hunting

[Whosthedaddy]

After blasting some clays at the weekend, I have a deep routed need to be a man and hunt or maybe just own a gun.

Easy option would be an air rifle and this is my first quandary, which type? Or is it easy to get a firearms and license for something more satisfying?

Would be just for fun, maybe the odd pot shot at something that moves so nothing too expensive and there are plenty for less than £100 or even £50 for that matters.

my dad looking into this at the moment, hes thinking of setting up a clay shoot on his farm, its a bit of a bitch to do it though because of the fall out, it needs to be what, 50m from a road? basic shot guns cost near 200 quid so its not cheap. i think we worked out its cheaper to buy a gun and use a shoot.

Bah when I'm bored I take one of my assualt rifles, shotguns or pistols out back and shoot stuff

Or go to a friends and go on a boat and shot at stuff in a lake.



It doesn't get any more fun than throwing half sticks of tnt (yes the real stuff) into the water and just having a massive explosion go off. Or shoot at dead trees floating by

Best shot I made was with my brothers bb gun some little pump up rifle that shot metal bb's.

Aimed at a flying woodpecker one handed and fired after giving it lead.

I hit and I killed it

I didn't think I would I wasn't even trying. Got pics some where. The thing that made me feel so bad is it tweeted when it hit the branch of a tree and then when it hit the ground

Mind you I am a mean shot when I try

Seriously get an air rifle man top fun.

I had air rifles when I was younger, (had a webley carbine, really annoying but I can't remember what model it was, was about 10 years ago... )

I still have my Webley Tempest which I got for my 15th birthday, (this was some time ago...) I used to be able to snapshoot clothes pegs of the washing line at 10 paces... Haven't fired it in a while though.

I once shot a cow by mistake, it was in the distance. Other than that, I'd never shoot anything living. Moot point now, the 'Scottish Government' are trying to ban them; a knee jerk reaction to the actions of one nutball...

They are good fun, I used to have an Airarms s400 (think thats what it was called) really accurate could hit a pin head at 30 yards with the scope it had. Does anyone know more about getting a firearms license or what you need to own a shotgun???

[Whosthedaddy]

An application form
2 referee's
4 weeks to process

Then, an approved lock cabinet thats checked after install before the license is issued.

Sounds easy really.

Air rifles are boring kids weapons for sheer manly power get a crossbow before the government get around to banning them.

A real man would use a longbow.

My little brother bought one of these, its a ratcatcher .22 co2 air rifle they're only about 6ft lb but with a better scope they are accurate over a long enough distance... we used to plink at cans anywhere up to 30-40 metres away... I mean this is by no means a serious rifle the gun is made by crossman and its based on a pistol.

It takes 5g co2 cylinders which can be bought cheaply by the hundred over the net..

Its perfect for a bit of dicking around etc... he also has the laser which is handy when you have it scoped up correctly at the right distance it then just becomes lethal and anywhere you stick the red dot will have a hole.

Apparently you can shoot in your garden as long as you have a brick built wall between your neighbours garden, so if you have a fence you might be limited to using it in your home.

I used to carry a 12ft 2-piece fly rod strapped across my back on my 125.

Anyway, we have such a thing called technology. Full-size, one-piece longbows are so dark-ages. Even if you don't want to go for the whole pulley carry-on (which is for pussies), recurved bows have been about for several hundred years and are much shorter.

A nice composite, recurve, field archery bow can be weighing in at 70lb+.

Most powerful one I ever fired was an old Browning compound bow about 13 years ago. It was made of solid wood with composite limbs and racked up to a 100lb draw. It was designed for bear hunting in the US. They guy never used to fire it at full power but we used to pester him to rack it up and see if we could draw the fucker.

Took me about six attempts but I eventually got the bugger back to the lock-point and loosed. It was like someone firing a rifle right next to your face. The arrow flew about eight feet high of the target and pinned the backstop curtain to a brick wall. I really hurt my back muscles, and my finger pads.

With a blade-head arrow in, that would be a really fucking fearsome weapon.
