Shooting Rights....

Hi all,today was my lucky day

.Yep thats right i finally have some land to shoot on.

I received a phone call this morning from a farmer,he said he was replying to one of the flyers that i sent out two weeks ago. Yippee they work.

So i went out there today to walk the land with him,not sure how many acres yet ,but i recon about 60 ish..He is going to give me acopy of the bounderies and even said if i wanted he will sign a FAC if i wanted to shoot 22LR.This is really handy cos i shoot this at the rifle club,so it will kill two birds with one stone as they say..
All credit to Lez for the flyers,which i changed so they would not have any of his details on..
When i drove to the farm,i noticed that there were rabbits all over the place,some didn't want to move out of the way,like he said he has a rabbit problem..

The flyers do work,but like Lez said keep your chin up and keep on trying.
Thanks Lez..

) but at least they were polite and DID reply.....

Darren (taffygun) never have to many (check out Les`s post ).

Your too right there Steve... Aside from the unfortunate event of Les's, which could happen to any of us..... it's always good to have a few shoots to allow the others to rest and not get overshot.
