Advice for someone new to shooting please

I use 223rem for fox...anything more is just over-kill.

:shock:

Rob..

anything more is just over-kill.

I have permission on my firearm cert to shoot fox with .3030win 308win 6.5x55se and have done so. Yep, they all kill them but I have never felt that I over- kill them

It's an old joke of mine Jenks...remember?

Was it GM that gave me a panning about it a few years back?

As long as it's a safe shot.

:lol: :lol:

Aye, had fox and goat, and for the destruction of vermin on my cert for. .220swift, .243, 25/06, .270 and .308. Must admit they did the business. Never had a fox complain.

It also stated on the cert,

"To be used on any land where the cert owner has permission to shoot, and it is safe to do so." "And on any authorised range for sighting in purposes".

That's about as "open" as you could get a ticket down our end I think.

My mates cert had a couple of things on it, "to be used only on land deemed suitable by the Chief Constable" was one of them. Although he was just over the "border" from me in West Yorkshire.
