  1. I've never been on a shoot like that but I've heard of a few. On one shoot I heard that a seagull, morehen, squirrel, jay and other randoms were added to the bag. Not many birds per drive though. Caused by small amount of birds put down in the first place, no real vermin control, no effective dogging back in on a daily basis. And insufficient feeding at the right places to hold the birds. Another thing that gets my goat is the sweepstakes. It doesn't matter if it's a pound or a tenner, it's generally some sort of fixed con. I went on a shoot and some bloke produced a sweet jar wit
  2. Don't forget the humble 22lr has killed people at 1 mile range so it has a fair amount of energy. If my memory serves me, the max distance / angle is near 30° elevation . AND I think that a full grown African elephant has been dropped by the humble 22 LR
  3. The furthest that I've shot my 22LR or on a range was 600 yards.!!! YES 600 yards. Using std target Eley match. The target bull (black) was about the size of a car tyre. The aiming point was to put the very bottom of the scope cross hairs on the top of the butts embankment. Which was possibly about 20.. 30 ft above the bull eventually I managed to hit the bull by others scoping down the range and watching the bullets kick up dust. I can't remember how far the first ones where seen. Possibly 300 yards. I just kept lifting the gun and they talked me on. When I found the mark the bulle
  4. I watched both videos with Interest, being a club smallbore (.22 LR) shooter. WITHOUT BEING RUDE etc my thoughts about this experiment is that this isn't a sensible or practical way to do a test like this and come out with any sort of sustainable result of anything other than an amount of ammunition was shot. I do not know why it is but ALL American .22 rimfire ammunition is fundamentally very inaccurate. I bought a thousand Remington std velocity target rounds and they were so different round to round that all they were fit for was barrel warmers. Other brands just seem to be too fast
  5. Naah. People will feed it cans of dog food. The daughters neighbour used to feed about six with butchers bones etc. Over the years I've encountered about 3 x 3 wheelers and they all seemed in good condition and ran well until encountering some lead. edit. My sister had a fox hole in her garden and foxes would move in for a few months then disappear. The hole would be vacant for a while then a different Fox would take up residence. My silly sister would feed them and some were tame enough for her to hand feed slices of toast.
  6. Anyone notice that nearly everyone seems to be just accepting this as a done deal. I haven't seen anyone taking basic to task over this. The only thing I did see was a statement right at the bottom of a cartridge manufacturer (Lyvale) possibly where the management wrote a clear statement that basic had made a claim that in 5 years time where there would be no lead or plastic in the shooting field at all.!! BUT that at No stage had basic consulted any of the 4 major cartridge manufactures in the UK about this and that as far as they were concerned that this was an impossibility because the
  7. That's all a bit on the negative side. everyone want the success and everyone wants the money. You'd be exactly the same.
  8. I've never heard of it but is it the same thing. Just a mistype. It just made me chuckle about the ring piece skid. ???
  9. I thought Damacus earth powder.? What the he'll is that.? I typed it into Google and the Oracle came back with...... Diatomaceous Earth Powder. Are you sure you got it right.? apparently it is used to combat red might on chickens.
  10. I'd be out for a look round today but wife's confined me to barracks today. On a friend's clay shoot on the 28th though.
  11. And people want to drink this stuff.??? Still offal and greens. I say OFFAL AND GREENS. There's some strange folk on here. I've woken up early on Christmas day in the morning and the wife's not in bed.??? Yesterday the daughter asked me if I wanted to get out with her dog FIRST THING !!!??? I asked her what time and she replied about 6 ! I said " Have you been drinking? It'll be dark! , The dog won't want dragging round fields in the middle of the night." I bet the wife's gone with her. Total barm pots. The pair of them. Next thing they'll de drinking act and eating
  12. That's not right. A pink gun.!!! Well, its not even pink. It looks like some cheap Chinese plastic toy. How the he'll are you going to get all that shite off of that when it starts to fall off. It's hideous. Still no one will thieve the b*****d tool. It wouldn't piss me off if I was beaten by a pink gun. No woman that I know would ever shoot a pink gun. They would want to beat me fair and square into the ground with wood and blued steel. Some of those women get super competitive. PINK !!!! It's so disrespectful to the gun.
  13. Just watched the shoot video. you had a good day there. It would have been a bummer if nothing turned out to play. A good example of decoying on a piece of bare dirt.... no crop showing. I thought that the shot cam images were good. watching the target picture would help a new shooter as to what the overall picture looked like.
  14. According to.... probably just a load of nonsense. there will be management companies doing all of the day to day running. All Neville and Giggs will have anything to do with this is that they have a name on it somewhere along with probably banks and others. Don't believe anything in the papers. Don't be sheep herded to the slaughter. Think about it.
  15. I know how you feel. I lost my spaniel a year and a few days ago. I miss her presence so much. When we come home both the wife and me look for her to be laying on her bed or getting underfoot. Most times she would be standing in front of me gazing intently right through me or resting her muzzle on my thigh. The year has gone in a flash.
  16. The real issue in all of this is that not one person , or institution seems to take any sort of action to get any police force to justify these things. for example the doctors ticket. How can basic, who are supposed to support the sport jump on the band wagon and source some random doctor to fill in a form for anyone. That doctor has never met the applicant and knows dimly squat about the person. This is the same as any GP most doctors practices heavy many doctors most of which wouldn't be able to even identify the patient/applicant. Ok IF the applicant was a raving violent nut job how wou

    Peter Kay

    I saw peter Kay repeat comedy shuffle on the box the other day. When I originally saw it, It was funny but I was left flat the other day. I remember going to see a comedian on stage and it was very funny ... until the bloke started to sing. The whole night was ruined. The crowd left looking as if they'd lost a fiver down the back of the seat.

    porn

    Yeah. All you got to do is go on your browser and then file.. then new private file and type in porn.. you will have opened up a door into a different world... and no one knows. When you shut down there's no trace in your history. There you go boys pleasure to your hearts content. It's like anythìng if you like going to the pub or not it's everyone's choice. Anyway how is the pope aware that nuns are watching porn.? Perhaps there was a funny buzzing sound at prayers.
  19. I read some things that don't mean much to me. such as ...well..l../..you get the impression that if you ain't armed with an over under of 30+ inch barrels with a full set of change over chokes and an adjustable single trigger,, then you ain't got any chance of hitting anything. . That side by sides kick like muĺes. Ect, Tec. Perhaps it is me that is the oddball because it don't matter what the gun is.
  20. Son in law is right handed but left master eye. Before I realised this He was standing sort of skewed right round sideways getting his jaw battered about and shot maybe 3 out of 10 on a stand. When I realised this I squared him up and told him to close the left eye keeping the gun in the right shoulder. Next stand he cleared 10 out of 10 wiping the floor with one of the other son in laws who took the mickey. Personally I dont notice the bead on any gun. See it, follow through and kill.

    Truss Gone..

    N ahh, their just sheep and would howl at the moon if it was hyped up. The truth is that until the media is controlled there can be no democracy. All this ...calling for .. has got to stop
  22. Ed's Red doesn't go old / out of date... if the bottle /container is kept closed because part of the liquid is cellulose thinner which will evaporate if left open to the air. BUT IF IT was to dry out more thinners could be added to the oil part. It is so good that you can wipe the outsized down. It lasts for months if not years. Give it a look. Ps. 22lr barrels don't really need ridding. I've known blokes who shoot to a very high accuracy and haven't cleaned the bore for twenty years and more. If I clean my Anschutz target rifle it taķes about 50 rounds to settle back down to zero. An
  23. Shotguns yes but rifle accuracy can really be affected by cleaning. Then there is cleaning and cleaning. Some just pull a snake through or a patch. This might make the barrels look clean but if you use a solvent as above and a phosphor bronze brush , the crap comes out the barrel as if it was waste oil. Personally I use Ed' red which I make myself. (Look at receipe online) make half a gallon for pennies. Use it for the next twenty years. The terra gun stuff is good BUT all these bought cleaners are a small fortune for what they are. Use Ed's red. It's blooming good and cheap.
  24. I didn't intend to demine your ideas of what you what to build. I am just a morning old git .but there you go. What I was on about really was why try to reinvent the wheel. I shoot .word. .222. .223. 243 and 270. All of these are what would be considered standard calls. So why is it felt nessessary for wildcatters to convert everything into something else which isn't nessessary. I use a Win mod 70 in 223 which I have slightly worked by glass bedding the action and barrel. The bolt has been smoothed so that it engages and disengaged quietly and smoothly. The magazine follower has been
  25. Well. I find it odd the different interpretation of a gun there is between Murica and this side of the water. IF I had the want and the option of building a new ....target/varmint rifle then I wouldn't be using a 1:8 twist and I wouldn't be making it on an AR platform. I know that my statement makes me out like a down player. BUT surely either a target weapon or a varminter relies on high accuracy which neither the 1:8 or an automatic action are likely to produce. To produce target/sniper it generally requires a stiff heavy barrel of 1:12 or 1:14 twist and a decent bolt action solidly moun
