Wouldn't have thought it would be to hard seeing as the rabbits have removed a fair chunk of the sand already. :0037:

Were the rabbits using .17 HMR by any chance? That would explain the major disruption to the sand perhaps....

Aye lazy twats left all the frigging lead. Come the lighter nights they are in for a shock!
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Dont advertise the de-leading too much, just in case the light fingered brigade get there first. It happened at our Gallery range recently and an estimate 1 1/2 -2 tons of lead was stolen!
The range is right next to a footpath that runs down to a well used nature reserve so loads of passing twitchers/dog walkers but nobody saw a thing :o
