Did Someone Mention Amsterdam........................
Greyman replied to squab's topic in General Talk
Looks like the one which was a police station, Leidersplein I think, towards the museums.and were was the clue for that spot on observation ? I replied from the 1st page didnt see you beat me to it. Went to the bar/cafe next door and ordered food, had a drink while we waited, german cockroach scurried across the table.. the 'ex' said is that what I think it is.. I called the waitress over told her what I saw - paid for the drinks and we left, I bet its still lifting with them LOLTheir was 3 Bulldogs at one point in time I think, the oldest original one was a bit.. funky! Good memories of -
don't try mate,the harder you push the more they will push back, just have an adult relationship and treat them as friends not kids, lastly remember yourself as a 16yr old lad and the lengths you would go to for the charms of a young lady, then you can outsmart the little feckers when they start circling, because a standing dick has no conscience,

In the picture of the bulldog, I stayed in the apartment above with the lights on for my fiftieth, it's on leber something square and is an old police station, it's the first time I,ve paid money for a night in the police station but well worth it just for the smells coming through the window, funnily I was allowed to smoke weed in the apartment but not fags, what a great place -
made this since Christmas from a spalted hazel fork, dimensions are the same as standard ppsg but the fork tips are thicker for strength, the eyelet in the handle is just for applying the oil and lacquer and will be removed before the final coat goes on, I will stick another photo of it on when it's all finished and banded up next to the original ally one that I used as a template

Unless there are any visible Tare,s it should not loose much power by aging, it normally breaks first, but if the weather was very cold this can have a big impact on performance, in cold weather try to keep it in your coat or close to your body until you take a shot, also give it a go on a warm day and see if it's back to normal

Brother/sister Cross- Your Thoughts!

ah incest a fun game for all the family -
I would not say any better or worse than a normal catty regarding accuracy, but extra range definitely, I would probably be more accurate if I fired it more frequently, but it's a bit to pokey for the garden and a bit big for your pocket, I,m off fishing for a few days in the morning so will take one with me but last time I shot one in my garden it wrecked my target and went straight through the catch box behind as well, I,ve made both ttf and ott for flat bands also made one with 1745 tubes, you can use big elastic with a massive draw, they are great fun

nice little truck misses wants one for her next motor, which I'm chuffed about, you may want a to conceal your phone number in the photo though

I must be honest I have a bit of a love hate with 12mm and only use them in my starships these days, the knock down effect is great but the range not so, so I tend to use 10mm leads in my normal catty,s which seem to act much more like steels but with a bit more knockdown effect, I'm also quite happy shooting pigeons and corvids with 9/10 mm steel, But if your confident of getting head shots many just use the steels as they fly much truer and faster, trial and error I,m afraid because what suits me might not suit you, also many people swear by hex nuts for ammo and marbles so by as many small

another mistake I made early on was hiding it in a hedge and not trimming any stray twigs or long blades of grass around it, after a windy night I had to wade through around 200 photos of a branch blowing back and forth across the sensor, so now all moving items are trimmed or tied back but it's another good reason to check them dailly if you can

I have never had permission anywere in my life, unless I was with the guns, in my younger days it was easy to give a false name and address and as long as you had all the persons details and were of a simular age there was no way of catching you out, now I,m old I just play the lost and confused sorry guv card thought I was on the footpath, in 36 years of walking dogs I have been shot, had a few brawls and had several motors smashed up, but never ever been in court for poaching,

if you have a large expanse of water near you go along there and start shooting at anything that floats, because on water you can see we're all your misses go, and adjust your shooting to suit, also what bands are you using as 12mm lead takes a bit of moving and will drop pretty rapidly without some meaty bands

as I grow in confidence, longer and longer, but the first few times I set them, it was last knockings to set them and pick them up as soon as it got light, I was terrified they would be found and stolen, but having caught quite a few people walking past them with out clocking them I now leave them for a week or two if there in a quiet spot, I have found other people's cameras set in the same field as mine before, it amazes me how blatantly people put them considering they are not cheap to buy, I,ve never taken anyone else's and I hope karma will pay me back

How bizarre! especially as he had a big hole in the crutch of his joggers and I got to see a bit more of him than I would of liked, the valley I set my cams in is a bit of a patchwork of owners with odd fields dotted here and there, it makes my life easier because usually by the time they realise I,m on there land I,ve slipped through the hedge onto someone else's field and away, I,ve now tracked down the owner of the field with the little bridge and he looks very simular to the guy in the hedge on my cam and the right age to have a set of bollacks down to his knees, so I,m going to knock
-
I,ve got a couple of stealth cams absolutely sound, had them set on a tiny little old bridge last night it's not much more than a plank Over a stream it's totally hidden in the hedges and I have to crawl in on my hands and knees to set them and retrieve them, sadly I dropped my knife when I set them so was up early to get them before someone found my knife which I use to cut the cable ties I use to keep the cam in place, thinking if someone finds knife then finds cams they have the means to remove them, anyway got there earlyish no sign of footprints in the frost sound, no sign of my knife not

it's alright mate I,m in Bristol wrong end of the country for you, I have made the opening the same size as the wooden French doors in my house which if funds allow are being replaced this summer so the old ones should slot straight in, plus I am a an ardent skip rat, but thanks for the kind offer
-
Feck me I have mates that live in much less than some of your sheds, my man cave is 8.5 meters by 5 meters but is full with shite including my old 900 aero turbo Saab, I have a small work area at the bench and that's all I can access in there, so I,m building a new summer house from recycled wood from skips, I just need to find a set of French doors for the front and I,m done will also be making a woodburner from an old gas bottle to go in the corner excuse the mess it is winter but here it is, the last photo is the most important

I make my own 12mm with a fishing weight mould as sold on eBay for around a tenner, it makes 8/10 leads per pour can't quite remember, I have the mould in my vice and an old pan of lead on a camping stove it's basically a case of fill the mould undo the vice tap out on the side put the mould back in the vice and pour again adding more lead to the pan as and when, a 1000 balls is realistic for an afternoons casting, proshot do a proper mould for catty ammo that looks the bollacks but is a bit more expensive than the fishing moulds, personally I like 10mm lead for a normal catty and the 12 for m
-
have you tried doubling up on the bands as two layers at 20/25 will make 10mm leads fly, I use single 30,s on my starships and they fire 12mm leads at an insane speed but I get a 6/7ft draw on the elastic, I don't think the forks are wide enough on the blood sport to go much wider so I think double bands are your only option though I seem to fire 10mm lead with straight 25s ok but not the 12 millers

Warning About Gamekeeper John,fat Scammer
Greyman replied to Greyman's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
funny that my daughter has had random people emailing her telling her what a great guy he is and to be patient as he's snowed under etc, I,m as near to a p***y as you can get, I drive an old truck,pick up scrap, have ducked and dived all my life, even done a bit of bare knuckle in my younger days, but if I told you I would have something ready for you as a Christmas present for your father, I would make sure I did or at least have the decency to say I could,nt make it, not take your money then ignore your emails and delete you every time you try and contact him through face book, it's wrong an -
I,m rather an uneducated type, so these are not my reasons, but what I was told to do then adapted to suit what I had, apparently by warming it to a certain temp for a certain length of time you change the molecular structure which makes the metal less brittle and much harder, now as I don't have a proper kiln,oven or furnace, I just lobbed them in my woodburner for three days and it seems to have achieved the same tempering of the metal, if you type file knifes into YouTube there are many more qualified than me on there making some lovely blades

I will try but I,m very limited technically, as in I,m on my iPad now, but the photo,s are on an sd card and I view them on an old laptop my kids gave me that's not online,might give me something to do, I,m off out again to set them tomorrow then I,ll have a play

Several facts on that list point to a massive increase in the human population, which at the end of the day , is the main reason for all these problems anyways.So, in a few years we'll be back to square one. bah humbug
