Self explanatory really.

Have an invite for early in the new year for one lucky guest to come clay shooting for the morning on a sunday.

Must have never fired a gun before, as that is our stipulation.

Would be useful if you were local enough to be picked up, and happy to get a taxi back home, as a few brews after is the norm.

No nutters/suicidals need apply thanks.

Jesus.

I would have thought that someone would have liked to have a crack at it.

Breakfast, shooting, beer, what the hell????

No one on for a morning out, for free (given the current credit crunch)

Spikey.


Good man, have read the mail.

I have also shot most things.

Its a sunday morning.

You would be most welcome

I would pick up if local, as beer after is pretty much essential

Interesting definition of never having fired a gun before wink

Have fun. I've only shot clays a couple of times but am getting a safe installed soon, then SGC. FAC perhaps to follow, although I can't see 'pest control' getting the nod in central London frown

Oh god, its the old shotgun/firearm debate.

Hey, if you can make the train, i can give you a day there too. We can all get pissed.

After, of course

I don't think he was starting an argument!

You did say the only stipulation was that the person must never have fired a gun before, i think most people (especially non shooters) would class a rifle as a gun :P

Nowt wrong with a good air rifle fella.

Offer still open to most people really, you are winning so far if i get a hurl in your car??

When in the new year is this? Have shot but over 18 years now since I picked up a 12 so does that count as total novice once again?

If not would be good to arrange something another time for PH novices around the area to get together?

PS - Emsman, sorry to hear about the car woes!!

Also up for this and relatively near to MK. Last time I shot something was an AK47 at 'Dr Death's Military Academy' in Estonia.
