Thread: nearly 300 sheep shot in north otago.

Well, I would agree about the solid ammo, and the link with young people and MSSA.

Older people (like me) were well put off solid ammo through our experiences with ex military 303 ammo. Generally, most hunters have no need or desire to buy or use the stuff.

The resurgence of solid ammo has been hand in hand with the sks etc sort of guns and cheap Russian ammo. My subjective view is that hunters and older people have no particular interest in owning or using it, save for those involved in military type target shooting.

No, it's a person who wants to keep their brass sort of thing

I think I will get one. It will save me having to bend over once every other hunting trip.

If you're really onto it you'll catch it as it comes out. That'll save the bending and the "errrr, my back"

I can assure you that plenty of 'older' people get a buzz out of sending a large amount of lead down the range, even more so if the rifle has the ability too 'burp'...just that the older one's like the casings curving in an arc...younger one's are just being 'tidy kiwi's'.

pfftt.. The professors's theory seams to be based on speculation, contradictions and wishful thinking... I wonder what his log-in name is? ..

The unsub is supposed to be young and stupid or old and demented, employed or going to school, stupid but smart enough to use a brass catcher... sounds like the professor fits his profile perfectly ... irony too funny

I thought Professors were supposed to be the experts? Seems like the Professor is as dumb as the "bloody young" and "bloody stupid" criminal. Reading that article just pissed me off. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I go to the neighbours place and shoot all their sheep!

Is that a fact?

I know one thing thats been overlooked ,strangely enough no professors have been contacted either.
the perpetrator/sof this heinous wee exhibition of vandalism are either severely personality disordered or already in the grips of a largish dose of sociopathy. they'lldo what they do cause they want to do it and FTW!.........
the distress and trouble caused will only reinforce their warped sense of "bein da man ,and be scared be very scared of us all youse Mofos"
"you shit me and ill come lookin for ya" you all know the scenario.
nup our friggin dopey 4th estate ,particularly fairfax papers concentrate on guns "scarey guns".I read a piece by that plump jaffa bint Kerry Mc Vicar??where tshe comments on the hysteria on faecesbook re these young yank sheilas shooting africas big 5 beasts. one very petite lass is posed with a custom big game rifle(?.458 or similar b/a)referred to in the fuckin article as a semi automatic military assault rifle FFS.

At the moment "Old and demented" is still in the race.

Who confirmed it was a "bloody young" person that did it?

The dumbfuckery surrounding this is unbearable
