  1. I don't have one but read a few reviews which rated them very highly. Enjoy and let us know how you progress with it. Phil
  2. Don't know if you are free tomorrow night Rez but if so there is a bell target event taking place at the Cross Roads pub in East Barkwith near Market Rasen. If I can get my newly aquired gun sorted in time, I will deffo be there. Just wondered if you fancied it mate. Phil
  3. And who has been telling you what I look like Matt !!!!!!!!!! however it is true. No room for a chair Jon as I set the hide in the best spot with a great backdrop and not sticking out into the field at all, to be quite honest leaning back on the tree stump was very comfortable with one gun. Phil
  4. Well if my back didn't ache before, it does now, all day building a greenhouse for my eldest daughter. To be honest, I far prefer crow shooting with the shotgun when numbers are an issue and as I had taken about during the last three sessions, I thought I would play a little. Phil
  5. Yesterday, I popped down to a field where I set up a hide two weeks ago for shooting crows on a freshly drilled area. I have used the shotty most of the time but yesterday I thought I would take BOTH rifle and shotty..........................fcuk me, talk about working my nuts off, not in numbers shot but in holding two guns by the barrel whilst the butts are on the deck so that if the bird is deffo landing, I use the rifle (impact) but if they are not so keen on dropping in on the deeks, the shotty is the tool for the job. After an hour, my back was killing me as I was in a stooped positi
  6. I am very pleased for you Nelly....................................now, NO MORE TALK OF GETTING AN R10 AS THESE GUNS WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!! What made this even better is the fact that you were in the company of not one but two really good guys and you will keep this memory locked away for many years to come matey. Nice one Si and of course Jimmy. NELLY HAS POPPED HIS CHERRY so now you know you can hit em and your guns work fine. Phil
  7. Wow, I wish I knew what all that actually mean't Phil
  8. Hmmmm food for thought Tom. I have spoken to a few people who have now switched to a 20 bore o/u for game shooting and seem to be very happy with them. Phil
  9. Welcome aboard matey and make yourself at home. Nice gun to get yourself back into the obsession. Phil
  10. I like the little shotty Tom, never shot a s/s 20, do you find them a bit bumpy at the muzzle. Phil
  11. No problem Simon, I have some fine cutting wheels and fine burring tools so perhaps a trip over during the week and I will drop them off in exchange for a coffee. I will pm you with my phone number shortly. Phil
  12. With the predator pellets, don't be surprised if you get completely different performance between the shorts and longs, I don't know which you have tried but may be worth trying the other style from what you have Rez. Phil
  13. Here is some info I was given which is not in your area but may help to link to a club nearer to you. www.belltarget.com www.cvagl.webs.com Phil
  14. If you need a dremel to touch in the chequering at the grip, let me know Simon and I will get one over to you. Phil
  15. I wish you well with this project Simon, it has been a long time coming mate and I really hope it works for you. Phil
  16. Thought this might be of interest Mark but no mention of FWB http://vortekproducts.com/ourstore/Airgun_Tune_Kits Phil
  17. Full credit to you Ethan and to you Jimmy for bringing him on to the point that this young man is able to do the work. I will watch with interest. Phil
  18. Spot on Renos, I think that is your best grouping if I recall correctly. Phil
  19. I am considering buying an Air Arms S200t which is the split stock, adjustable comb and the track under the forend. It has a scope on at the moment but if I go ahead it will be fitted with diopter sights. Now here is the question, anybody got a hamster that would fit this gun sat around in a drawer that they would like to sell or know of where I could get one and I don't mean these Rowan super hamsters at £250+. I will reduce the power down to 6fpe as these early models have a power screw on the side so an easy fix and use it for 10mt free standing and on these pub shooting nights I report
  20. I would agree with Simon in that my views have changed hugely over the years. As a young man not earning much money with a young family, the animals and birds shot formed an important role in our eating habits. Many years have passed with myself being more than happy to blast away at small black discs of tar/pitch going at a fair rate of speed, or in other words, clay pigeons. The old saying 'what goes around, come around' and I find myself back to where I was as a teenager enjoying sport with an air rifle and with that the old interest in hunting again but in the main with a single pellet
  21. It won't do much harm to Ted's Holdover because he is a full time teacher and doesn't need the channel for his main income. Phil
  22. I saw this on another forum the other day, it looks like the 'anti's' are winning, a great shame as this will be one of many to go this route or disappear from youtube altogether. You may not like Matt's channel but this WILL start to happen to British hunting channels as well in my opinion. Phil
