Another One

#1 Post by SloeginBill »

Evening,
Been reading through the many threads here for some time so guess its time to stick my head above the parapet.
I live in East Sussex and have been shooting since I was big enough to hold a gun. The usual route for gamekeepers offspring of air rifles, .410, 12b and rimfires for game and vermin. I am a regular game shot and a now a qualified shotgun coach / safety officer / safe shot assesor. Recently joined a local rifle target club - a first for me in 43 years - for some variety and something to do during the quiet periods and have discovered a whole new shooting subculture that I didnt really know existed and, to my suprise, I am really enjoying. The local club have been great (thanks 1066 RPC) and have broadened the horizons of my lifelong hobby. (oh, and your site is helping no end! clapclap )

You can't rush a Sloegin, like a sprog it needs (at least) 9 months before making an appearance.

I have some at 5+ years old and getting better by the year however I was intrigued by the idea of cooking down the sloes with some sugar and then adding the gin, certainly worth running as a second option, call it an experiment in the interest of science... fingerscrossed

Hello and welcome.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
