And, sadly, the countryside is too full of people who have little understanding of the countryside....

That's a bit @rsey. ๐Ÿ˜‰

when were shooting on a ROW we just stick some signs up saying shooting in progress continue at own risk that way if anyone decides to carry on and gets shot its there fault also shooters don't want walkers or bikes etc to be crossing the next drive scaring all the birds away spoiling the massacre in some cases ๐Ÿ˜‰

Strangely, some Mendip shooters "moving us on" (i.e. telling us to pish off whilst heavily armed) set in train the events which eventually cost me my front teeth.

Not in a direct causal sense, of course - they were merely actors on History's great, ill-fated stage. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

'be safe, remember we're the ones with the guns'

Yup, and I'm the little **** letting your tyres down while you are playing the big man with the shootah!

discrete shoe lace tie then a quick zip tie (a few pre joined should do the trick) of the ankles together, followed be a gentle push.
That should do the job quite nicely

then you get the cordless drill out the camelback, attach the 9mm drill bit and make some weight savings to the knee caps.
You can the carefully unpick the zip ties, be a shame to waste them.

They might by half a mile or a mile downrange, but the shot falls from the sky at some point - it's called gravity...
Sheesh, shot from a shot gun cartridge that can travel up to a mile away! birdshot only has an effective kill range of 50-70 meters and might travel 300 meters with the wind behind hit, although they could of been shooting pheasant with solid slugs which might travel up to a mile?
Sorry, awaiting the "Guns"

I' ve always reckoned 45-50yds, but shot can travel long way in the air before falling back to the ground (often had the shot from the next set of woods fall back around me. Of course it has no power to it - a bit like being out in hail

That's a bit @rsey.

Maybe so. But where I grew up and shot on local farms, lots of wealthy incomers arrived and started complainig about everything that makes the countryside the countryside - cocks crowing, cows shitting & making a mess, the smell & untidiness of it all, people out shooting....
