    I contacted that seller on ebay of the £18 suits to establish what the sizes really were as they talk of size across the shoulder or something daft like that but just got jibberish reply. The one from Amazon looks better than the Deer Hunter suit if I am honest with more loose leaf, it will be interesting to compare them but I think you have got the better one Jimmy. Phil

    I really like the finish Jimmy, no shine just a nice lustre showing the grain which is exactly what I want on my TX200. Phil

    So now you are ready for the testing to begin boys, it will be interesting to see how it works for Simon, lot of work there Jimmy, well done mate. Phil

    Well done, I think we need to start a stockworks section admin, it could turn out to be a very photo heavy and in depth section. Phil

    When I phoned them to place my order, they had far more sizes than shown on the advert. It's true that their sizes are smaller than some other companies. I normally take XL or with some companies XXL but with Deer Hunter I take 3XL, for the fuller figure you understand...to be honest, it really doesn't matter if the suit is larger than your true size as these mesh suits can be a loose fit and still function perfectly because they are not designed to be FITTED clothes.

    Use this link to find you a club in whatever part of the country you wish. Key the region at the top of the page then the type of shooting on the next page. I have a hard copy but I think this site will give you what you need. http://www.shootingclubdirectory.com/ This one might be suitable for you, if not search the site above. http://www.shootingclubdirectory.com/listings/minsterley-ranges/ Hope that helps Phil

    I have just got round to opening all the mail Jimmy and yes the targets have arrived so thank you mate, spot on.......if you excuse the pun I should have also said the suit is printed in real tree so not plain coloured fabric. I am very pleased, I would take a photo to show you you won't be able to see me. Phil

    Whilst I have been on holiday, I picked up a copy of Sporting Gun magazine and the Sportsman gun shop in wales has some Deer Hunter clothes on offer. In the selection of gear in the sale is a thin mesh leaf suit for sale at £24.99 plus £6 postage so I bought one. It arrived before we got back, very nice indeed, quiet material, built in peak and face veil and a large front pocket, superb value for money, so if any of you fancy a leaf / gille suit at a cheap price......... I must say these suits dont have anywhere as much leaf effect on as an out and out gillie suit but there again they are not

    I think you have done a 'cracking' job there Jimmy, your nepew should be pleased as well with the hours you must have spent on that mate. Phil

    I have had a look through one in a shop as somebody brought it in with a fault. To be honest, it sat a fair way back so for me the scope would need to be put further forward, then would it be too far forward for daytime use....... Have a look at the Ward 700 that Mitch pointed me towards which is smaller and I think lighter than the Atom. No doubt he will be able to add some valid input to the Ward D700 system as he knows a great deal about them. Phil

    Brilliant job Jimmy. If I had seen this before you started, I would have told you about a glue called Caskamite used by the trade, dries rock hard and is very very strong. It is a while since I have had any of the stuff and don't actually know if it is still available but amazing stuff all the same. Phil

    As some of you know, I am at High Lodge in Suffolk for a weeks holiday and again some of you may know High Lodge is one of the top clay shooting grounds in the UK AND they have installed a sort of HFT layout comprising of 5 stands. now whilst I was playing with my TX today and swearing a bit at my results, I won't bore you all with the exact details nevertheless behind me about 15yds is one of the clay shooting stands. There were three chaps out for a few hours shooting and they were laughing at me swearing. I turned around and said they should try a springer and see how well they could do,

    Hello Brian and welcome aboard matey. I have lived in North Lincs for the past 20 years but lived in Sheffield most of my life so where are you. There is a small gun shop in Sheffield called Brown's Lock stock and Barrel based on Holme Lane, Hillsborough who is worth a try. The other is Hardy's guns on Eccleshall Rd. If you are near the Barnsley end, try Ron Daley in Barnsley and ask for Sam, smashing young man who knows his stuff. To be honest with you I am on holiday otherwise I could look through my contacts book for you. My local dealer is Crawfords Shooting Supplies in Scunthorpe

    I have just seen a s/h Prosport in 'Air Gunner' magazine based in Birmingham, it's a .22, £350 with some unspecified Hawke scope fitted so if you are interested Simon or Jimmy. The bloke's tel number is 01564 826 594. I don't normally read this mag, just don't rate it but I am on holiday so I keep flicking the pages whilst the fishing is bloody slow. Oh yes there is also a TX200HC s/h in the mag up in Edinburgh, another .22 with Hawke AO IR scope fitted, sling, AA pellets and targets for £350 That is the end of today's Sales news......................back to a bit of night fishing.

    Phil Hardman in a magazine article said he was not going to do a review as he hates doing reviews, well perhaps, perhaps not. The gun I had a go with at the Northern Shooting Show felt superb, lighter and very well balanced and to be honest I am looking forward to shooting again at the end of the month at an open day, when that happens, I will ask again when is delivery due but I hope my information iss wrong Mitch but I have a feeling it may not be. Phil Just seen, there is another review from Phil Hardman on youtube but I cannot put up the link because I don't know how on my Fire t
