  1. The New Permission .......

    in Airgun Hunting

    Posted

    Jesus Mac - you'll need to move on site to cover that lot :o

     

    David very kindly measured my other permission for me. It came out at 33 acres. I recon this new one is maybe 10x the size.

    That's a conservative estimate - the land has some weird shaped boundaries that I have to be careful of.

  2. The New Permission .......

    in Airgun Hunting

    Posted

    I took the HW100 for a walk round the new permission today - the one that I got a few weeks ago. I spent 4hrs looking around and still haven't covered it all :o

     

    There's a cricket pitch and pavilion in the middle of one of the woods. It's got rabbit scrapes and droppings all round the perimeter - we're going back for a look at that again tomorrow night :thumbs:

    It's at the end of a 1/4 mile track and, it's never been shot before :D

     

    They only gave me permission because I know the owners daughters. Requests are usually refused outright.

     

    Today was mainly about exploring but, while walking through one of the copse, I spotted movement high up in a pine tree. I had a look through the scope and, there he was, a squirrel. He took a JSB Heavy clen to the side of the head.

    He swung down off the branch but, hung there by a back foot for what seemed like ages. When he finally let go, he came down through the branches, dead as a door nail, and landed right in front of my feet :thumbs:

     

    It was only when I picked him up that I realised, this was the first squirrel that I'd shot in around 20yrs. The last one would have been with my old .22 BSA Mercury Challenger in the woods back home when I was a kid.

    Well, what can I say - it tastes like chicken :)

     

    I think this permission, once I get to know it properly, is going to be fantastic. I've been getting very bored with my PCP lately - this'll give me the opportunity for some good day time forays with the TX.

     

    Also, we bumped into a few people while on the land today - they were all polite, friendly and, not at all put out by the rifles.

    The old girl that owns it all is a proper old money, eccentric type. Mad as a hatter but, very nice and genuine.

     

    ...... this is going to be a good 'un :thumbs:

    The T Rex 200 is one crap rifle. ( not)

    I have the TX 200 HC mk 3 .177 version.

    Since my pigeon drawings and targets are getting on JJ`s and Mac`s nerves, would a photo or two of one in action, ( er, herm, - including pigeons etc :laugh: ) be of any help Harry ?

     

    " Rat Works tuned of course " :yes:

    I like your drawings really - the one of the chap with the hat on still makes me chuckle :whistling::rofl:

    What rifle are you putting it on?

    Just an old raider

     

    But don't say it too loud or Mac might hear.

    Might even strip the stock and oil it

    'Just an old Raider' - Feck me John, you'll have Mac on here putting pics up now :doh::D

     

    Seriously, sounds like a nice set up. It'd be good to see before and after pics of the stock if you decide to go for it :thumbs:

    Hi Jemma,

     

    Welcome to the forum.

     

    It could be down to the pellets that you're using. Most air rifles perform best with some kind of round nose diablo type pellet. Springers tend to prefer a light weight pellet.

     

    I get decent results with Falcon Accuracy Plus pellets but, you could also look at JSB RS, Air Arms Express, H&N Sniper Light.

     

    Good luck with it.

    All these lefties saying we should let these immigrants in should be made to put them up in a room in their own homes and pay for their food' medical bills and keep.

    See how many want it then.

    It should not be forced on those that don't want mass illegal immigration.

    And those that don't want it should certainly not be made to pay for it thru higher taxes and cuts to out own services ect to find the money to pay for them.

    I agree.

    Give them a couple of houses in Connaught square and, chuck in an ethnic shop. Then we'll see how many our politicians want to let in.
