I Hear ya!

Well agreed, I won’t die from not going shooting... but it’s this social distancing that is getting me. I’m having a hell of a job trying to stay 2 metres away from Mrs Flintstone as it is, and to now not be allowed shooting as well....  😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣 (..and yes, I love her really!) (? Well, she...

Sporting, I use 1/4 and 1/2, and don’t worry any more about it! In fact, I’ll probably get a second 1/2 and keep them both at that, until I get to a point when I think that all I have left to worry about in my shooting is the choke size (fat chance!)  

Hmm... and 2 ‘individuals’ can meet outside (England)... so 1 + shooting coach?!? It’s not going to happen as the grounds have closed, so in effect you still need your own land, in which case you have not ‘left home’ in the first place! My coach was looking at this idea on Tuesday... he...

I have a ritual whereby I tend to flinch a little as I leave the house to go shooting.... but that’s more me trying to close the door and start the car quietly without Mrs Flintstone asking where I’m going... again! 😂

Even within the NHS, it’s still targeted vaccines only. My wife is staff at a Kent hospital... vaccines started before Xmas, but for ‘patient facing’ staff only (which makes sense). It’s all about the volumes that can be done realistically in the beginning, and pushing that volume to those that...

I think we’ll be out again in about 6/8 weeks... they won’t keep the lockdown on any more than they need to. This is more another “put the brakes on”, to get the R back down, which we all knew was going to happen after people mixing at Xmas, allowed or not, even before the new strain. The...

Hi and welcome! Plenty of friendly help and advice on here. Whereabouts are you?

..  just checked Kent Police... all new grant applications now suspended. I imagine this will be the case across the country with the new lockdown.

I fear you might be right!

Sounds a very fair gesture.. well done them.

... that at times like this, I had access to a VERY large field or two, and a clay trap. :hunter: There are only so many times I can clean a gun that has not been used!!!  Roll on February March???

Hi I think you’ll find that due to the tier 4 restrictions, sadly a lot of police forces have suspended new grant applications... again! As to the GP reports, most surgeries will make a charge for them, although there are some on here that have got them for free. Generally, the going rate is...

Think I’m just going to sit it out for a few weeks! Merry Christmas?... Bah humbug!!!

So, with my shooting on hold (Kent), last night I gave my gun a good clean and a light grease / wipe down and put her to bed for the festive period... and probably all of January at least (I’ve decided it’s a ‘her’ as it’s always me that’s wrong when using it!) 😃 Whatever you are doing over the...

Hi Jon and welcome! Get that application off ASAP... they are never quick!
