During an afternoon's sport last season, someone asked me if I had a silencer on my shotgun because I was being too careful with my shot selection. Although it produced roars of laughter from the beaters and a cherry red face on my part, I knew it was only a bit of ribbing and it actually made me feel part of the day.
