Omfg is right - yep, we are all dumb. Lol. What happened to your other - better than here forum?

You come on here pushing your opinion as if your a God, kick anyone anyone who replies in difference...and well..,Stix had it 100% right all along.

Groan, what a bunch of macho dummies, as bad as the UK lot; no worse. Must be a firearms thing, the way guns attract dipshirts worldwide.

Lesson learned. Won't try to help, educate or communicate here again.

Bye.

[TassieTiger]

So you’ve deemed the entire UK shooting community a bunch on wankers, the entire Oz enough gun forum shooting community as stupid dummies...the world of firearms must attract dipshirts...?
Wats the common denominator with all of this?? Your so much smarter shouldn’t take you long...

My guess is, your very young, probably not old enough to hold a licence yet but you’ve googled a couple things and now you think your an expert...the jokes on us really, for not picking it up sooner...say hi to your mum for me.

Last post.

No, not the "entire" community, but enough low wattage members to make the forums icky. You know, the big swinging dicks, the bullies, the microcephalics, the usual testosterone crowd.

Aged over 60, medical career, middle aged kids with professional careers. My mistake was to expect value from this forum, and intelligent conversation. I get it from other forums, including my own. Here? Nah.

Again, bye.

What an absolute w@nker.

Seconded.

Well you won’t see this but others will...who knows, maybe a member of your personal forum might join here one day...

The fact that you chose to clarify your age etc, says sarcasm is completely lost on you - it was a hook statement to see how big a bite...Ozzie’s are taught this in year 3 and world renown for it.

You said you expected value from this forum? But you didn’t...you expected to TELL people stuff and have them agree with you...then throw tantrums when ppl disagreed...that’s not getting anything from anyone. That’s well...a bit weird tbh.
You must have contributed 100 posts on lasers, including a run away thread on kid type warnings and glasses...(contributed might not be the word? Well telling ppl about stuff that’s freely available to anyone who might want to research if they specifically wanted to anyway) - yet I didn’t see a single “pertinent” firearm query bar a barrel coating question that was similarly - very strange...did you even have any firearms...or was shackle too big of a personality to let Ram get clearance from the board ? Ps - this is a lol!

That conundrum your now feeling? The one that’s telling Mr shackle to get back on here and blast away back - but oooohhhh bugger, mr Ram said it was his last post several times now...so to do so would look foolish...bugger. To do, to do. Lol.
It’s been entertaining.

Ramshackle...
Its interesting you use the terms above...

My first reply to you was simply pulling you up on your patronising stab at CZ, with you claiming they hadnt answered your question, when infact they had--& that it was you who subtly placed a new set of perameters to your query.

Whilst i came straight out & questioned you, i did it politely, & straight to the point.

You immediately stabbed back at me, attempted to belittle me --effectively acting out exactly what you accuse others (me) of above...bullying, dick swinging bla bla bla...
Ofcourse we cant see that now because someone taddletailed...sorry...but just like a spoilt little brat...!!

You obviously dont like being challenged...& thats ok...we all say stupid stuff & feel like a dik sometimes...some more than others...but we have to take it on the chin sometimes...& not dictate to others what we "think" it would or should be like...

Research & disscussion is one thing...but yoir thread seems to have an alarmist GCA tone to it...

We're all keen on our own & childrens safety, but that doesnt mean xDom is a twat because he doesnt wear a space suit to shoot a rabbit at night.....
He's a twat cos he missed 2 easy shots last night... ( )...

Just relax...
Its ok for you to wear glasses with your pard... we'd love to see a pic, & yes we'd laugh...but who goves a fuk if you're happy being so safe...

But if you're new to shooting...id suggest getting hold of a rifle & cracking some rounds out, & buy a spotlight & pop some bunnies...shoot your first fox...cook up the bunnies...share the recipe &/or the experience...
Then get a pard...
Then tell us if your blind 3 hunts later...

Enjoy...

Yes...which leads one to believe you're not just there for the hunt'n...

[Strikey]

I may buy one. I have no kids at home anymore and I may also buy proper laser safety glasses to go with it (must be made to exclude 850 nm range beams).



I could perhaps get away without the glasses if I take proper precautions ....

Can someone tell me if these are Bobox coated???

Asking for a friend

[Member-Deleted]

AAAAHHH ,Geez ramshackle you poor misguided little individual I've sat idle until I read the ( OMFG are all aussies this dumb ) so here goes mate the insulting remarks you have thrown around on this post are nothing short of stupid so I wouldn't start asking if aussies are dumb until you gain some stable common sense yourself and not take everything to heart this forum is for everyone not only you have your say and if things go pear shaped then take a step back and settle down don't start taking stupid shots at members if they don't agree with your opinion also don't blame the forum either I to once had a moment where I thought about leaving the forum but didn't and now i'm glad I didn't because I would have been the one missing out ie the knowledge on here , friends you meet and the help people on here give for free there is a wealth of things to be learnt from people on this forum but don't come on here and demand to be heard or force your opinion on others because there are some very intelligent people on here and they will size you up in an instant and you will be pulled to account on facts alone and i'm sorry you have a dim view of Australians but that's your problem it's a free country and you can leave at any time if you so wish cheers

[bigpete]

Christ....don't stop him mate....

[Member-Deleted]

Sorry bigpete but it was the whining mate the boys tried so bravely to set him right but nah he was like a tin of Berger paint he just kept on keeping on come to think of it it was slightly entertaining although I wonder if he hit his intended mark whatever that was ie Sales pitch or just to bad mouth another company

[bigpete]

It did seem he had it in for Pard,or anything Chinese....

[duncan61]

We all have the option to not open a thread but I for one have been fascinated by this poster and have followed the whole lot.I think he will go then come back again with more nonsensical stuff.Good luck to all the people who buy night vision stuff but I am still a fan off spotlighting and the satisfaction of placing a shot.Go GDB for a dumb Aussie you sure make a lot of sense

[xDom]

“...but that doesnt mean xDom is a twat because he doesnt wear a space suit to shoot a rabbit at night.....

You cheeky b@stard! That’s it I’m leaving the forum. I was expecting intelligence here but, nope...
I’m off to hang out with my successful friends and professional children.

Lol...

Did someone slip a drop of bobox in your drink...?

[Member-Deleted]

Yes duncan61 I to like spotlighting and would never give it up but I have to admit I have been tempted on occasions to purchase a night vision until I saw the price so temptation gone then I think why give up spotting its so much fun

Same. I love the idea of a full-on FLIR thermal scope until I think of having to pony up $4-$5K,,,, at that point I remind myself that spotlighting with my Narva halogen hand held spotlight has a certain old-skool whimsical charm

[bigpete]

They both have their place.
Just can't work out why spot lighting makes placing a shot ever so.much more satisfying though.....maybe in livestock?

[SCJ429]

I am still amazed by how good LED torches are which makes spotlighting so much easier. In years to come I am sure night vision will take over and I am interested to see what is coming out and peoples experience using them. Sometimes I need to be more patient and tolerant of posters when they share what they have learned

Curious People wanting to look into the ends of torches that show no visible light reminds me of something I did when I was a kid. I was told and warned never to stick anything into powerpoints and that the electricity within was extremely dangerous and often fatal ..so as soon as I had some time alone unsupervised I was sticking cutlery in there to find out for myself I did not get a shock but I remember a flash and black burn marks on the outside of the point. Fortunately these days we have plastic inserts to prevent entry of foreign objects and earth leakage safety devices . I’m fifty and in the construction industry. Never had a proper boot. One shock can end it all ....probably feels like a land cruiser hitting you at 100 kph

When I was a kid I was asked to move a washing machine...that was turned on...and leaking copious amounts of water. It threw me against the wall three times before I worked out what was going on

A bit later on I decided to wire a washing machine motor straight to the end of an extension lead. I switçhed on and got an almighty bang, a blinding flash, and a cloud of thick smoke out of the motor and the power point - luckily no boot from that one though!

I've had lots of hefty electrical zaps, often using power tools in wet weather.

[xDom]

Ah Ramshackle, the forums favourite c**khead..

This letter is, in the words of your wise leader,

FAKE NEWS.

[Stix]

Told.you.so.

a8309cc6-b935-49b7-964c-65296a0f1019.jpg

Who's the letter from...???
And who's it to...???

And what country is it in...?

And if not AU, how do their standards differ to ours...??

If its all genuine, & you are geniune, you'll post up the actual info so others arent harmed...

Whilst im nit saying its fake, what you've posted holds no credibility--its just type on a peice of paper...just like a placard in a GCA demonstration says "sound moderators kill"...

So in all reality...all you've done is poke your head back in the door & blown a raspberry, & ran away quickly...
