I emailed to ask if I could join in the shoot. I haven't heard back yet.
But thanks for the heads-up. I may pop down there with my air rifle
anyway. I only live a couple of miles away. Cheers, keep up the good
work....

Can't they just be driven onto motorways, for truck drivers to

Couldn't a local lad organise a day's shooting for, say, a tenner? Cheap
