How about this bad boy for the rabbits?

That could be a range safety certificate constraint.

Looks like a bit of fun to me, not wanting to rock any one's boat, sat firmly on the fence. But it looks like fun any way I look at it.

I think the main reason I took to stalking instead of paper punching were the "RULES". Millions of the bloody things. As for the stalking, get out of the motor, load up and get cracking. Way to go.

There is nothing like it, is there?

Aye Phil but when you are stalking you are working with just as many rules as the paper punchers, the difference is as well as all the legal requirements you need to satisfy you also have an incredibly strict RCO that is going to kick you ass is you make a noise, fluff a shot or loose a beast. That RCO is you. Some of the hunters I have met work to far stricter self imposed rules that many guys out plinking on a Sunday morning.

One has to be safer than on the range.

There are more laws to obey.

There is the general public who don't understand why one has to shoot up a field of crows, or Basil Brush or Bamby.

Out of curiosity, what would the stance of ranges be on bump-firing?

(If I recall correctly, burst-fire was legal until the late 80s - was that allowed at most fullbore ranges?)

Which UK legal guns CAN be bump fired?? It needs to be semi-auto to begin with so that only leaves you (for the main part) .22lr which doesn't have enough recoil or S/A shotguns which are incredibly difficult to do it with (believe me, i've tried )

There are a few vids on You Tube of bump firing Ruger 10/22s. Anybody know how to do it?

Yes, you can bump fire a .22 with a bit of practice, I did it in the US with a Ruger 10/22 but it had a trigger job on it - the stock trigger might be too heavy for it, I don't know. I put my thumb alongside the stock as opposed to over the top, held my trigger finger rigid in place, and put a slight forward pressure with my support hand to help it along. The link in my first post on this thread is a video of someone else doing it.

I've not bumpfired a shotgun myself, but it can be done:

Not that I'd like to try! I like my fingers unbroken ta very much! :lol:
