I am not going to get into the debate about shooting but I was raised on a farm, was a member of the Royal Sandringham hunt and now shoot in France.
It was "the done thing" at the time
Now though as France is behind the times hunting is still common practice but highly regulated NOT as a sport but as food and a means of animal control

Wouldn't say France is behind the times Greeney. Maybe the people are smart enough to vent their feelings to the government before their lives are screwed up, and they guard their rights jealously. We, in England, always leave it too late. IMHO. Confused

Yes you are right with all the above maybe"behind the times" was the wrong terminology
They haven't resorted to being a "nanny state" yet might have been better Laughing

there was a time when Tommy could put his ten rounds of .303 up the spout of an SMLE faster AND more accurately than a Yank could squeeze off the eight in an M1 Garand........ Jerry could run through his eight Kar98 rounds almost as quickly... and now perhaps they all want to keep a finger in....
