Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'
The Scotsgun Ruling:
>Add Gun Shop here<
"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."
Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!
This rule applies to the entire forum.

Re: We are calling it a day
That’s a real shame! It was only far too short a time ago that you both embarked on the venture. All the best!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: We are calling it a day
Being forced into something by events outwith your control can have unexpected benefits as well as offering new thresholds to cross.
Seeing as how UK gun ownership and shooting is now on its last teetering legs it is timely to get out of it rather than to be sucked into and smothered by its death throws.
Shooting's loss is sailings gain.
Poultry, for fecks sake, hens are foul.
Go for ducks, at least you can have a relationship with a duck.

Re: We are calling it a day
COVID gave me the kick up the arse to retire & make my wife’s dream of moving to Devon a reality. I’m 55 & so far loving it, hope you both are as happy as we are.

Sorry to read about your eye issues. Hope things improve dramatically.
Retirement is awesome. I gave up 'proper' work at forty-eight. No regrets.
Enjoy.

Re: We are calling it a day
All ways found your posts a fascinating read. Hope your eye picks up soon. I had something very similar, but fortunately in my left eye. I have some idea of the discomfort you must be suffering.
