  1. Cheers , wedgy. Young dog just gone 12 months .
  2. Fair play mr Cooney , you sharper than a razor blade.
  3. Out Friday night for 66. Sunday afternoon for 46.
  4. To be fair Neil and Sam done a top job in both rings , as already said it's good to put the person on the name and a few more genuine dogmen were met.
  5. Apart from my old milbro I've only ever used home made cattys ,mr Wilkes . Would you say modern style forks have improved your aim or the form of practice.
  6. Acorns are another good practice ammo , I've always found adults tend to overthink a situation unlike children who seem to be more relaxed in the same situation. Having read this forum for a time now it got me thinking about how I myself aim . And to be honest I don't think I do, the only thing that runs true with every shot is the position of the stick hand in relation to the pouch hand , be it above the head or below the waist . When rat shooting most shots are snap shots as it's mostly at rats on the hoof that afford little or no time for aiming and thinking , when it feels right "release
  7. Spent a couple of hours inside a skip as a hide .first with the blackthorn stick, gold band + marbles . Not the ideal choice for rats but spot on for pigeons. Then out with the rat stopper for the last hour.
  8. The bands are for exercise I think , it certainly sends the lead out. I like the Thera band gold but found snapping a problem . The donkey elastic is still a firm favourite though.
  9. All done on a tip face (indoor) and anything from in front of my face up to 35yrd ish .
  10. After finally running out of donkey elastic I've tried out a few of the modern bands and have finished up with a resistance band from the local gym bin. Fitted p***y style to an old rose wood stick and coupled with 16mm leads its performing well as a rat stopper.
  11. Planned to go Friday but heavy rain stopped play . Another Saturday night for 87.
  12. In and around the 10th March by a local man with knowledge of my activity. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
  13. Another tidy session last night (sat) for 108 .
  14. Any charges made have now being dropped with no case to be answered to. Turns out they took a third party's dog by mistake though it's whereabouts is still as yet unknown alive/dead. So yet again a total Phuk up again on their part ...at what cost.... Report was made in and around 10th March from a local man with knowledge of my activity.
  15. Had a good session with my cock Russel and young Hector for a respectable 114 last Saturday. Tonight for 51 to help me get over my trauma. Do we look bothered !!!!!!!
  16. And there's me thinking dawn raid issues were a thing of the past !!!!!!!! A bit of extra help with the kennels early doors 14 policemen ...5 rspca officers...2 vets and a camara crew too boot. All dogs with a clean bill of health , even commended on my kennel management . Permission slips and proof of treatment by a vet provided they were content there was nothing to answer to here and left rather unhappy. However my mate was not so fortunate and is now sleeping on a cold bench and his dog destroyed. The lowest of the low is the informer Atb th.
  17. I've never noticed the numbers drop to be honest, there's probably more born in a day than I kill in a month.
  18. pups are eight months now and coming on a treat with plenty of rats in front of them at the tip. And last night was a bit better with a 97.
  19. Hard going with it being a bit warm , plenty about but hard for the young ones to get to grips with
