So how do you practice to ensure that you are accurate with your shotgun/rifle when the need for it arises.Or do you use heat seeking bullets?andy_65_in";p="27863 wrote: The topic seems to be drifting from hunting with an airgun to ....anyway firmly believe no firearm was/has been invented to make holes in paper and shoot down already dead birds( read TRAP?CLAY). they have ben invented to either take lives or save lives therefore they have these 2 roles only, dont ever remember wasting ammo on cutting paper etc. i consider a non hunting application of a firearm as a disgrace and dishonour to the weapon.incidentally imran _khan PHA is quite sensitive for regn they want to know everything about your KHANDAAN as per their form.told them cant provide my photo for professional reasons so NO reply and i doubt they will.frankly my aim is to share hunting stories etc only .admire apna IFG it so simple to register and jump in and enjoy an exch of thoughts/applications.

Re: Hunting with airguns
I`m still trying to wrap my head around that outburst......
So if firearms are only for taking or saving lives then what happens if you get a pistol for self-defence purposes but in 30-40 years it is never required ? - Using Andy-logic that means that to prevent `disgrace and dishonour` the pistol is going to have to be used to kill someone...........................Might as well blast a few Tigers while you`re at it.
Has someone left the back door of the looney bin open again ?

Troll nah, Andy old boy is just giving vent to his feelings wrt the prevaliing situation.
Given his profession he gets to fire a fairly large variety of exotic fire arms on a regular
basis ,something most of us would love to do

He's a serviceman, shoots a large variety of fierearms, enough to make us all jealous? at what? I thought the army still uses fig 11 & 10 targets and whatever...or has this unit reverted to the 'fish on a pole and shoot guided by the reflection below'?
Or is live target practice being encouraged overtly?
So, if paper punching is detrimental to the process of building up of accuracy and psychomotor skills, there's something wrong with THIS thought process!

Re: Hunting with airguns
Exotic weapons.Hmmmm...
1.The sawn off 12 ga. shitgun
2.The long range 'big bore'
3.The hot gas micro bore airhead
and finally
4.The foot in the mouth suicide special
I don't think I want to fire anyone of these.

Blimey, the wordsmith is back! woe betide the evil doer!
Sometime, if you try, and the FBI doesent hassle you-I think Lenny Bruce deserves a comeback...
bit of an outburst-on my part too, will retract the offending word(s)

Re: Hunting with airguns
Rusty-Couldnt agree more,given his background his reaction was surprising to say the least-why your guess is as good as mine
penpusher-Definitely not the best way to do it,but some just keep on doin it
My idea of exotic would be more on the lines of Auto's,Belted MMg's & HMG's,RL's,Mortars,RCL's and may be wire guided missiles,a mix of any of these would give a good kick
Asif-a shot in the dark perhaps a case of too much time in the plains
..... he is getting impatient to head North or North East ..... could
be he has just come out of there and he is living in the past...something
to do with his thought process......any one would fit the bill
