  1. Just over my garden wall are fields with horses in and the woodies are at times in numbers of 50+ hammering the clover, no further than 25 - 30 mt, in fact clover seems to be a major interest for them at the moment David. Phil
  2. Clair West is the MD of the company and I believe she took over from her father who founded the company if I have my facts straight. http://www.airgunshooting.co.uk/news/video-air-arms-meet-the-boss-1-4064216 Hope that helps Simon. Phil
  3. It will be fun for a garden plinker if you are able to get it to stay on zero with the scope on if it is worth putting a scope on that is. Phil
  4. Even worse if shooting DTL or Compac sporting where the shooters are in a line. The spent shells come flying out to hit the chap next to you, really good fun, not. I might take my semi auto as well if I still have then. Phil
  5. David that is just not fair mate My perms will go mental when they take the rape in but it doesn't last but fun when it does. I get pigeon as they head in to roost but with the winds we get over here, the flight paths vary quite a bit so it can be very hit and miss. Phil
  6. Just send it up Phil and ill sort it for you bud only need the stock mind nothing else atvbjimmy :thumbs: Thanks mate but not yet, you can take it easy for now and take that rest. Later in the year if you are up to it and only then. Phil
  7. shhhhh, me too and the shorts but don't tell anyone. We are hijacking the post, sorry. Phil
  8. Love it Mark......................
  9. Excellent letter I hope you are sending that off to them Simon and if they are showing at the South Yorks show, arm me with what you would like me to say and I will talk to her with pleasure. although hopefully you will be there yourself mate. Phil
  10. Never say never Jon, ashamed perhaps but I do have a pinkish polo shirt, shorts, shoes, socks....................................okay I lie but wouldn't it be fun to turn up with a pink gun stock..........................................NO IT FCUKING WOULDN'T but would match my eyes in the morning That is why I have shades on. Phil
  11. We are in the pea planting stage in this part of the world David so the pigeons are getting quite active, in fact I just had a call from a shooting mate to say he wants some help on one of his perms this week as the woodies are hitting it. A couple of weeks ago whilst shooting crows, I had a number of pigeons pop in for a look what was going on, something for the pot but the wind was blowing a hooley and my god the speed they were going made it VERY tricky to hit the buggers, I just saved the cartridges as my hide was tucked into the high hedge to keep me well hidden from the crows so I di
  12. Shove it in the freezer Mike but wrap it in a coloured poly carrier bag so your wife, girlfriend, mother doesn't know what it is. If however you are single......................fill the freezer with rabbits and road kill Phil
  13. Looking good Jimmy but there again I wouldn't expect anything else. Now what can you do to my crappy beech stock Mk2.........................................but not for some time mate, as you need a break after this. I did fancy a Nath green treatment but if I sold it on, that could work against me even though I love the green stocks........................I could do the S200 target rifle in Green or red, perhaps a shade of pink WTF we will wait and see on that one. Phil
  14. I have just checked and if I am entering the clay competition, I can take the car right into the main event area so that means I will deffo be taking my DT10 David and one way or another mate, you should get a chance to have a go if we can get one of the stands to let you have a shoot without having to enter the main comp. It will be handy to park with guns in the car where they are safe. Phil
  15. Very fair comment Jimmy. I am sorry to the chap who sold it to Nelly for the misunderstanding. I take it back in that case. Phil
  16. 800yds, quite a walk. My buddy has modified an electric golf cart and says it is a real back saver, I suppose it depends on the terrain though. Phil
  17. Nice one. Looks like you need to update your avatar judging by the car Never tried using the traps, are they very effective. Phil
  18. Try driving around to see if there are any freshly drilled fields with crow activity, the farmers do not want crows pulling out the seeds and everybody asks for pigeon and rabbit shooting so approach it on a different tack but make sure you have some crow deeks and a call to do the job properly. Worth a try. Phil
  19. It is the South Yorkshire Shooting and Game Show.......................................SO BE THERE REZ & DAVID Here is the link:- http://www.southyorkshireshootingshow.com/ Phil
  20. Ah that explains it. Before retiring, I used to spend over £700,000 a year with Fuji with my old company for printing materials and the bonus was that I had a trade account for the cameras which came in very useful for family and friends camera purchases along with a few free ones for me. I could open a shop with all the Fuji cameras in our house, what a pity I cannot get them now. Phil
  21. Well I am up for Doncaster show get together and this time, I think I might take the shotgun for a clay shooting session so David if you want to have a go with my DT10, that might be your chance mate. I very nearly went back to the show yesterday to shoot the clay competition but other things got in the way Phil
  22. I went to the Northern Shooting Show on Saturday and saw both the decoys that A1 sell and the first one I listed on the ebay link. To be honest, the A1 decoy looks like a garden ornament and not realistic whatsoever but a large size. The ebay owl looks quite good and the size is decent but neither owls have great colour however the ebay, Jack Pike decoy is the one I am getting from ebay as it was cheaper than at the show. I am tempted to buy the A1 decoy and spray it to a realistic colour which would then be spot on.............................if I can be bothered but if you take that rout
