Sorry, I was being imprecise! I meant everyone except me, you, Ted and your wife. Actually, I meant 'A lot of people'.

I sold one on saturday when I went to help on a shotgun Proficiency course at Wiltshire College. the lady who bought it could actually hit the clays with it - not sure I could!

I sell a lot of Webley & Scott .410 bolt actions - to my mind the best value .410 available. Indestructable, nice handling and no recoil. For £100 a time, they go as fast as I can get them through.

I started shooting a 12-bore when I was twelve or thirteen - saw no point fiddling around with rat guns on a game shoot. Still don't - but I have no problem with those who want to.
