Yup, did all that. This is where he started to get uppity about target shooters and how they thought that they were better than anyone else etc.Daryll wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:17 amYou could have pointed out that he is spreading lead all over the countryside, where are you are putting it into a nicely contained backstop...Graham M wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:23 am

On a different forum I had this same argument with a game shooter. His take on things was that if HE had to use non-toxic shot, then so should target shooters. I tried to explain that there simply wasn't an alternative to lead for .22 target bullets and if they were banned then prone rifle would be a thing of the past. His answer was basically "Tough sh!t".

I then pointed out the need for muzzle loaders to use lead and once again he went on about how the M/L society hadn't backed the game shooters (for what I don't know) and that M/L would have to go the same way.
The man is a belligerent sod and will put up post after post droning on about how he is right and you are wrong. And of course there are always the couple of other shotgun owners who will agree because they don't shoot .22 rifle.
I don't want to get into a p1$$ing contest all the time, because the antis love this. Why do they need to come after us when we are happy to do the work for them.
