  1. Hi from another newbie. I shot at the mid wales ground a couple of years ago. Lovely people and a great ground in the green countryside.
  2. Somewhere in the attic I have got a couple of the old ally smaller milbro types. I hated the things. The thin section and the thumb grip was awful and difficult to control. Goodness only knows why people pay for them or why I have a couple of them and why they weren't launched into the bin.
  3. When I was a young a catapult was made by finding and cutting a forked branch of a size that suited the individual. I remember my brother heating a meat skewer to red hot in a fire and slowly burning a hole for the elastic to be anchored through. The elastic was bought from the local cycle shop. There were two sizes available 3/16 & 1/4. Square section. All I see today is round tube. Is the square section still available? If it is who/where it is available. My brother and brother in law were really good and could regularly shoot out a swan vestas match held between two others like goal pos
  4. That will give you a few hours reading. I've got one somewhere. Shooting pigeons hasn't changed too much over the years. Kit and tactics have changed but the birds are still interested in eating the crops and the guns and cartridges are still the same. I don't think that you would be able to successfully decoy birds with a bottle rolled in ash or the insoles of a pair of wellies like Archie did back in those days.
  5. Thanks for the welcome. I have been exploring the site and just having a look round. Where/how do I sort out a profile. Is there a members list. Can I search for posts/topics. I'll find the layout eventually.
  6. Hello members of the house. It's bonfire night and my spaniel just loves it. The dog insists on going out in the garden and watching for the next bang or rocket. I think that it is looking for the pigeons to fall so that it can go out and retrieve. I look forward to reading, learning and meeting some of you who post on here. Best regards Meece.
