fishing and shooting

does anyone on the fishing forum do shooting too?

Auldloon

Used absolutely live for shooting, rough shooting over spaniels. Fishing was very much secondary.
Havent lived in Ireland in nearly 10 years now and only fired a few shots last year in total. This year will be similar.
Really miss it and hope to get back to it someday.

BUACHAILL

yep me too love em both

EastTyrone

what type of shooting do you two do|?

BUACHAILL

I mainly shoot deer, but also shoot birds too

I do both aswell, shooting rough for Pheasants in the winter and Fishing in the summer. The seasons work out pretty well for doing both shooting and fishing as they tend to start or finish within a month of each other tyipically. For me October and Feburary are depressing months waiting for the seasons to begin!:)

Shotgun only.

Clays all year round and game in the game season.

do more shooting now than fishing, used to be the other way round

SeaFields

Also do both. Used be out a few days a week after pheasant and duck during the season but college work took over so not so much anymore. Still head out with the father for the walk and kept my .22 to help the girlfriends father out with pest control. Since I finished college completely this week (after 8 hard years graft:p) am hoping to get back into game shooting soon.

Nearly everybody I know who shoots also throws a line.

vermin hunter
