The chap, with the poor gun safety attitude, was discovered carrying his naked rifle from the car park to the club house last night. He didn't or doesn't have a gun slip.

He's a headline waitng to be written, IMO. Tell him to get a set of lawn darts and work up from that.

The idea is that if he can be educated then another's future maybe a little more comfortable and longer lived. If we chuck him out now it may do more harm than good. Our risk is we suffer an incident at the club.

A private conversation with the Secretary seems in order, then.

Twice I have had pellets zipping past me when beating but never hit fortunately. On one occasion the keeper saw and sent the gun home, on the other a word to the shoot owner and same result. One gun huffed and puffed- "I have paid for this day you know blah blah" Keeper replied-" Guns I can get any time- beaters I cant -GO" except he didnt actually say GO. Nick

I was once told off on the shooting range for holding my rifle "the wrong way." In my defence, I gad previously removed the bolt from the gun, so I felt reasonably safe, but I guess the other guy didn't see that.
