    WELL !!!!!!!!! my dear wife fell in love with the compound bow she was trying out so needless to say, I bought it for her, I knew this was not going to be cheap. A new release aid to go with the bow............. ouch. Nevertheless she did very well with it and finished the session on a high with a good group in the target. We popped down to another dealer on Friday to buy a few more things including a large foam target for use at home both inside and outside plus some nice bow bags etc etc etc etc.................... It's just as bad as shooting, the dealer's shop was amazing and we were

    Not set at zero yet because the bloody peep sight is twisting so I am back at the range tomorrow afternoon and hope to sort it then. I am leaving the bow to get that sorted if need be while we are away and the arrows are too long so I am getting cut down from a huge 34'' down to 29''. My wife, Trish, is testing a compound bow tomorrow as well but this one has a maximum of 35lb so ideal for her, smaller and lighter so I may be buying another tomorrow if she likes it. As I have 12 arrows, assuming the weight is okay for her, I may have 6 of them cut down for her size. The arrows are carbon and

    I fitted the Airmax Compact scope on after giving the barrel a really good clean as Weihrauch always apply their solid grease in new gun barrels. I am not posting a photo of the gun as you all know what they look like but to say I am pleased to have a 110k back in my life is an understatement. The wind has died down a lot today so around lunchtime I did some basic pellet tests in the garden before taking it to my RFDs 25mt indoor range on Wednesday morning, the results were predictable although one really caught me out. Firstly H&N FTT were very good with very tight groups, next JTS

    The post is 4 and a half years ago so I think he may have sorted it by now...................................... Phil

    As I am an old fart so there is no heroics for me, this bow runs upto 70lb but I have set it to 54lb which I am very comfortable with so far and loving it. Phil

    Here it is with the new sight fitted although I have not put the lens unit on for the photo.............................. Back on Wednesday to buy one for my wife but a smaller less powerful version. Phil

    I bought a Sanlida Dragon x9 today which may not be a PSE or Bear but having put it through it's paces with the arrows that came with it, too long but they do the job. I was not happy with the 5 pin sight however so I also bought an Avalon Tec x sight and lens which added another £100 to the package but I like the single point rather than multiple point sight so now I am happy with the set up. I will put up a photo when I have fitted the new sight etc. Phil

    Hmmmmm, not my cup of tea Jimmy, to bloody long for me. I picked up my new 110k this afternoon and checked the fpe before I left the shop which sat at 11.64 - 11.68 so happy with that although I do need to give the barrel a good clean and check it again. With this awful weather my plan for testing some pellets at home tomorrow is well out of the window so it will be sometime next week before I get the chance to try a range of pellets. At the moment, I still have the .22 Ultra as someone on here wanted it but he has not been back in touch so it is likely that I trade it in against the 11

    Sorry my bad, I made an assumption matey. Phil

    Why would you want a Co2 gun to shoot live quarry. They are not ideal, temperature can change point of impact with the power output varying and not in the same league as a PCP or good springer. Phil

    We have approx 10,300 acres much of which does not always produce the goods but we have settled on the perms which are no more than 10-15mins drive and to be honest they are the ones we love the most. The big perm we gave away is about 45mins drive and we cannot be bothered. lost the plot........................well perhaps.
  13. philpot
    Nice going BN, I must admit that I have become fed up with shooting rabbits and given away one very big rabbit perm. It might be different if family or friends ate them but we don't and I do not enjoy leaving piles of dead rabbits for the foxes. Phil

    Well I have come to the decision that the hw 110k is the gun for me having had them in both .22 and .177 before and could not fault them. I went into the shop today with the intention of bringing one home only to find they didn't have one much to my annoyance because I said I was coming in for one. Some confusion as they thought I wanted a 100k................... I never mantioned a 100 as I do not want a 100 etc etc I did have a good look at the standard length 110 and an FX DRS but as much as I like some of the drs features, it needs A mod and apart from a SAK which is a high gloss

    Never mind, I am after the compact version. To be honest I think I am buying new Phill but thanks anyway. Phil
  16. philpot
    Hello Phill Is the 110 the standard length or the compact version, not quite sure from the photo. Regards Phil
  17. philpot
    Going this week to look at an HW110k and an FX DRS classic, strap on a scope and test in the range or bring home to test. At the moment I am jumping from one gun to the other and back again but I think I will be buying the 110. I did look at a range of other guns , AGT, Daystate, Brocock, FX, Airmak etc etc but the prices now are feckin stupid with nothing really under a grand and for many thats second hand so we are looking at around £1500 for many of them and considerably higher. This market has just gone mad, to pay up to £2k for a sub 12 is bloody crazy. Phil

    I need to wait to see what I have got for the Tikka package Jimmy.
  19. philpot
    You know me well enough Jimmy but I know you have a special relationship with that little gun mate, are you sure you want to sell it. I have to buy my archery gear and a .177 so just waiting a couple of weeks as my Tikka looks like it is spoken for so that helps the fund. Phil
  20. philpot
    Today I have sold my Impact .25 fac and my Tikka .22lr is in the rfd for sale so it is now back to sub 12 for me. To be honest, I cannot be bothered with the hassle of an fac ticket and as I am now almost 74, I am not that keen on night time forrays in the cold on my own for the most part so just got one NiteSite left to sell and I am done. Attention now looking at a suitable .177 as my hunting gun but no prepared to buy another top price gun and will be keeping an eye out for an HW110k as I love those guns, nice and light and a tac driver but I remain open minded on the subject of the next g

    I do want to buy from a store as I have not owned a compound bow before so want to have the bow set up for me before I take it home and I know that is going to cost me more in the short term but I will gain the experiennce of being involved with the setting up and what to do in the future. Being an old fart, it is likely that I may well have to reduce the draw weight due to age or my arm condition or whatever so the intermediate and beginner bows have far more adjustment in power than the high end bows although Hoyt, Elite, PSE and Bowtech do have their entry level / intermediate bows which in
  22. philpot
    I have just been pricing up Hoyt bows, £1750........... PSE, £1500........... Mathews, £1500 etc etc. I know there are some entry level bows from people like Hoyt and PSE but all their competition bows are roughly around that price then add sights and a set of good quality arrows and that is another £500 assuming you are going to be competition shooting which I am not so will not be spending that sort of money but I will still get plenty of pleasure from what I eventually buy.. Some of the Bear prices are quite good but rarely available in the uk, more is the pity.
  23. philpot
    The prices for compound bows are so much cheaper over there and the US than in the UK and with the idiot who runs the US, any good price structure once had with America has gone so high prices is what we have to deal with. Phil

    I had one and Charlie Caller on here tuned it for me, amazing gun, lazer accurate but to heavy for me in the field so I sold it. I wonder what happened to Charlie (Tim), a good bloke for sure and I believe Pianoman had a gun tuned with him as well. I must dig out his phone number and give him a call. Phil
  25. philpot
    Well thanks for that Daniel, if I was not too keen on the NP02 before, I am a lot less now.
