Cheers , wedgy. Young dog just gone 12 months .

Fair play mr Cooney , you sharper than a razor blade.

Out Friday night for 66. Sunday afternoon for 46.

To be fair Neil and Sam done a top job in both rings , as already said it's good to put the person on the name and a few more genuine dogmen were met.

Last weekend ...111...

Apart from my old milbro I've only ever used home made cattys ,mr Wilkes . Would you say modern style forks have improved your aim or the form of practice.

Acorns are another good practice ammo , I've always found adults tend to overthink a situation unlike children who seem to be more relaxed in the same situation. Having read this forum for a time now it got me thinking about how I myself aim . And to be honest I don't think I do, the only thing that runs true with every shot is the position of the stick hand in relation to the pouch hand , be it above the head or below the waist . When rat shooting most shots are snap shots as it's mostly at rats on the hoof that afford little or no time for aiming and thinking , when it feels right "release

Spent a couple of hours inside a skip as a hide .first with the blackthorn stick, gold band + marbles . Not the ideal choice for rats but spot on for pigeons. Then out with the rat stopper for the last hour.

The bands are for exercise I think , it certainly sends the lead out. I like the Thera band gold but found snapping a problem . The donkey elastic is still a firm favourite though.

All done on a tip face (indoor) and anything from in front of my face up to 35yrd ish .

After finally running out of donkey elastic I've tried out a few of the modern bands and have finished up with a resistance band from the local gym bin. Fitted p***y style to an old rose wood stick and coupled with 16mm leads its performing well as a rat stopper.

Planned to go Friday but heavy rain stopped play . Another Saturday night for 87.

In and around the 10th March by a local man with knowledge of my activity. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Another tidy session last night (sat) for 108 .
