Back home on driven pheasant shoots, I started off as a beater. As birds were shot coming towards the guns, it was very common for the spent shot to rain down on us. No-one bothered about it. we just didn't look up to See it coming down!

Grand days those, back in the early 70's. The od bloke got sent home, but most were brought up right. "A Father's advice" was instilled in most before they ever took up the gun. Even as a kid, I could never actually aim my cap-gun at anyone when playing Cowboys and Indians!................used to aim wide. Just the way we were brought up.
