    Yes I read this yesterday on another forum, very sad indeed. An old work friend lost his 21 year old son in a freak air gun accident about 5 years ago. I had to be very careful what I said because I would chat about the weekends shooting with guys at the office but really didn't want to talk guns when this awful accident had taken place. Phil

    My RFD said there has been a shortfall in JSB deliveries and quite a list of shops waiting for stock across the country. Phil

    As yesterday afternoon turned out nice and bright with a light wind, I decided to have one more short session on the crows over a maze field that has produced a decent number of crows over the past couple of weeks. On arriving with my car reversed into the edge of the field, I stood looking through the binos to see if there was much around, nothing at all. I was toying with trying a spot further round from my usual hide position when there was a bloody loud noise from a helicopter coming in towards me, it stopped overhead, a police unit. The helicopter just hovered there watching me, I w

    Mark you are a twat......................a nice one but still a twat. Anyway, it is ordered and on it's way so comfortable shoots ahead and the zimmer hangs off the back very well. Phil

    No not this time mate but it all came together on the second round with three bells so a 25.3 score and I am enjoying this. Back to Lissington next Thursday.

    Don't bother with FX forum, what a waste of time............................ I have the .25 FAC and have considered the .22 barrel set but to be honest the .25 is doing everything I ask of it. ASI have not done an FAC conversion due to cost as the parts involved are over £250 so few people are bothering as they can sell the sub 12 for £1250-1375 and buy an FAC in the spec they want for less money resulting in a factory built FAC gun. They are, as I have been advised, not so straight forward to convert but I am only repeating what I was told. You need to speak to Simon at ASI on t

    Well, there I was AGAIN, all alone on my own ( not exactly, as my wife, Trish, was with me) and no sign of my fellow THL members to keep me company on the bell target range................................................perhaps it is something nobody wants to tell me My dear beloved didn't get on with my diopter sights but in fairness it is all set for me although she had a few shots with a really nice £850 pistol and was talking at some length to a couple of the pistol men....................................... oooer, I see some dosh being splashed in the not too distant future, what th

    Just found a few rod rests with superb long points that will fit perfectly David so I will trim them down, glue and screw them in place and job done. To be honest I need some better poles and have a couple of these which are spot on so some more will not go amiss. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282354274514?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The ones left will get cut down to make a low hide for the rifle and possibly gun stand to go with that table you pointed out mate. recycle them Phil

    Well if I take the two trays out and fill them with fishing bits, I can make pretty good use out of this bit of kit for hide work, shotty or rifle as well as some fishing sessions. I know, I know, I have quite a few bags for different types of fishing plus a few for shooting but it is quite often the case that I like to use only a certain one or two and I think I could make good use of this one. I put up a hide for a few sessions normally so only carry deeks, food, cartridges etc etc as the hide has been set for a day or two before I use it to allow birds to get used to it and with this in

    £49.99 here, just a thought for those who could make good use out of it. Phil

    I popped into my tackle shop yesterday and whilst having a route around I came across a cracking litle seat bag/box. I must confess it is nice to sit down but the ground is always uneven so seat buckets are not so good and too low but this is spot on with adjustable height legs to get it level, rucksack straps, good front and side pockets and if you remove the tackle trays, enough room for a number of decoys, lunch, flask and a load of other bits without being too big for in the hide. One last point, it has a very comfortable padded seat. It may be of interest to some of you http://w

    Not the same place you came to before, it is Donington on Bain. I hear they do a very nice line in orange juice Rez We are going early to try the food. Phil

    I saw one of these stocks fitted to a Scorpion, or at least I believe it was one of the limited edition stocks and of course it then had a higher shot count plus he had a reg fitted, I confess to trying t get the chap to sell it but it was his pride and joy. The only thing I dislike on BSA / AA guns is the bolt at the back, far far prefer a side lever or side bolt, just fells more natural and certainly faster to use but in no way detracts from the looks of your pretty little gun.

    It will be good if our Sean can get it sorted but in the meantime at least you are getting results. Phil

    Try to get a scope with an AO function such a Hawke Vantage range which starts well inside your budget and continues weel over your budget. Have a look at the Vantage 3-9x50 AO at £109.99 or cheaper which should not be difficult or the 3-9x40 AO at £99.99 http://www.hawkeoptics.co.uk/vantage-riflescopes.html It is well worth looking in the classified section as it is possible to buy a better grade of scope for your budget. Hope that helps. Phil

    Yes 9-13'' but if that is not high enough, splash the cash and look at the Primos Trigger Stick Tripod, very very versatile piece of kit for both in hide or walk about. Bushwear do some good prices for Primos. Phil
