  1. How.... The greater the gap between the bore line and the crosshair, the greater the angle to match the divergence to the point of impact. I usually zero first at about 30 paces and this is on at about 150. At 100 I'm about an inch high. At about 300 I know that IF ( On a very rare occasion ) I fire, that if I put the crosshairs on the spine the bullet goes right through the engine room. Eighty is more my favoured distance. Now if I were to lift the scope up about a foot rather than the normal 1.5 inches the divergence of trajectory would be massive. You beastly heretic. I'l
  2. Thank you for that. I apologize for my unintended misleading statement. I got my certs muddled up. Unless the applicant has been really naughty he should have no prob with an sgc. I suppose that the only excuse that they cant issue a cert might either be Brexit or corona virus. All of the feos have keeled over or they aint got any certs printed. Or everyone has run away to the north Pole or somewhere to escape. If I've made another mistake, I blame it on Brexit.
  3. The Mrs has shown me how to make a very effective facemask out of a single piece of kitchen roll, two lastic bands to hook round your earsĺ, a bit of glue and a couple of paper staples. It's very blue Peter but cheap, simple and effective. all it is, is a sort of pleated arrangement similar to a fan. She is clever as well as performing well under load.do you follow.? Facemasks are quite ineffective against viruses though.
  4. You have no worries at all . A SGC is relatively simple. It all boils down to ..... Have You got somewhere to use it.? ( YOU OWN land, or you have WRITEN permission to shoot on land. Or be a GENUINE bona fide member of a gun club. ) Will the weapon be held in a safe place where no one else will be able to access it .? ( a SAFE OR AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE that only YOU have access to) they will consider if there are any persons in your family or friends that have been naughty and might influence the safety of any weapon. If you satisfy these things then You fill the form in trut
  5. Are the media ( bbc) hyping this up out of all proprtion. Wouldn't we be better to all go to pox parties and get it over and done with.
  6. Why did you shoot me ? I only came over to see if I could give this poor lamb some mint sauce. Kwis told me to be kind to...... HIslam's.???
  7. What is the charge against the defendan't ? " procuring and Hoarding Bog rolls for unknown purposes", milaud. ? "Hmm". "Is there anything known about the defendant "? " He was seen looking at the giant packs of Haribos !!! Milaud ! " That's it. HE'S GUILTY. "We'll have to make an example here. Give him 50 lashes and tie him to the end of the bog roll aisles as a warning to others ????
  8. Er inside told me that I had to nip into tesco whist out on patrol for a loaf . 1 loaf.! No Grannery available. I was decoyed to the bog roll aisle , just to check it out. ? there were quantities of bog rolls there and a few yoda grannies there viewing the stocks. I was expecting an announcement over the Tanoy ,,,"company company WILL FIX BOG ROLL..;;;/. FIX!! Company WILL ADVANCE. TO THE TILLS.
  9. I hadn't considered this. The garden hose through the lavy window is a bit chilly this time of year and semi frozen water would be a bit of a surprise. An extended hose from the tap shower might be a goer but control of the heat setting from a tap shower might give the heat of a madras curry a mild second. I think that was a time of all sorts of rationing. Petrol, electric and bread. I remember a bakery that there was fighting on the deck as the treys of loaves were brought out.
  10. It's a shame that these human beings get caught up in no man's land. They were all happy and living their lives in their own country until the Assad family started a war for their own benifit and the Russians wanted a naval port and the Americans and us got involved in Iraq, Afganistan and other places. No one profited except the arms dealers. How would any of us cope with trying to live with kids and family when being bombed or murdered from the sky. Everything you have is destroyed. Some of those who have been caught in Greece have had their money taken, their paperwork, passports everyth
  11. Yes.. hallelujah. ... all I have ever seen from basic is that they bend over backwards to comply with every rogue idea that is thrown out there by the firearms depths even when they have no basis in law at all. This is similar to the eu. We followed every crackpot rule to the letter and even invented more hoops and every other country ignored the ones that didn't benefit them and took every penny going even if they weren't entitled to it. No one in Greece paid any taxes and that's why they basically went bankrupt along with Spain , Portugal and Ireland. We travelled from Piraeus port on a
  12. When my brother was in his teens..... early twenties he would get turns like that. He would see flashing lights and on one occasion he said that there was a fairground on the playing field. (There wasn't ). Smells like tar or petrol used to set it off. When he needed petrol he took me to the garage to do the filling and he would walk over the road to get away from the smell. He found that he could get some relief by listening to music on headphones and sleeping. Eventually he noticed that one of his teeth hurt everytime he had a migraine. He went to his dentist and demanded that tooth wa
  13. Scotland must be praying that Italy don't get ejaculated from the pack or they could find themselves at the bottom of the pack still there's always something to retrieve out of every situation. If they keep getting given a wooden spoon they'll have something to eat their porage with or maybe gruel if times get hard. Ps The Mrs has just given me a backhanded for mentioning her. ???. I joke she is blòming lovely. We've been together since we were kids. The son in laws all love her and she is just spot on.
  14. We won and the welsh lads gave it a go but the ref was useless and could have given a yellow and not a red. the challenge wasn't malicious. It was a high speed event in a contact sport. The Mrs knocks me about more than that.
  15. The only bulk buying that ive seen is 3 kind of Ghurka women with 3 trollies loaded right up with 5kg bags of Bismati rice. I just thought that they were buying it for use in a Nepalese restaurant or something. No one else seemed to be loading up their trollies other than there is NO hand sanitizer anywhere and apparently the cleaning stuff is going off of the shelves.
  16. Have you shot out and bought some of those washing up sponges on a stick? There'll be a run on them soon and the green pan scorer ones also. You can imagine what the neighbours might say when you out using the garden tap ??? But we digress it's a virus that affects the respiratory system not the arris end.
  17. Everyone has been told Don't Panic !! There's no shortage of stuff. Considering that this virus affects the breathing system and not the rear end why have the Population raced out and cleared the shelves of bog roll ? Apparently this isnt a local issue, its a national one. I dont suppose anyone would race out and clear the shelves if the bog rolls were that old izal stuff. Oh well it's back to the old trusted newspaper cut into squares on a loop of string.
  18. I have personally known of three others who contacted the org for simple advice and support and didn't get any support at all. I was told not to rock the boat with the firearms dept and wait six months and then reapply for a variation. It was a simple variatioñ ! I had held a cert for many years. No problems but the foe was a total nob. He said "22 centefire, ;;; um is that one of those hornet things".????? I ignored that stupid advice and applied anyway. No prob cert came straight through. As for insurance cover, Unless there is greater than a 51% chance of you winning they won
  19. an aquaintence ,,, ??? I bet he had a big sixgun. Did you tell him that it suited him.? Did you, Did you.? The bloke that I wrote about was right into it. I think that if we had burst out laughing about it, he would have gotten REALLY ANGRY ??????
  20. If your Mrs is trying to save souls you could always advise her to walk on her heels. Hallelujah come on down the language is foul. Mental health issue. Your a sinner aren't you... Accuser of the bretheren.... you sinner you. hallelujah brother come on down. Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm right. Ive been talking to Jesus all my life...... I only came in for a loaf...... You f***ing loaf abuser you: Mother f****r you. ????. I hope that the swear filter works.??? Has someone punched her in the mouth? the state of it, drawing fresh air. oxygen thief
  21. Because we can't have handguns in the UK, there aren't any beginners courses. No one can even hold handguns at a club so training doesn't exist for something that you cant buy or hold. I couldn't envisage getting some sort of replica and sitting watching TV and shooting down the baddies. Or making out I'm James Bond or something. It just isn't me. I did encounter a customer who announced to me that he had a GUN !!!....A...... " SIXGUN " !!! Now this bloke was the most unlikely bloke to have any sort of weapon. He looked like Mike Baldwin off of Coronation Street. About 9 stone w
  22. Are you a first time new applicant for an FAC or Is this a renewal of an existing certificate. Are you a member of an organisation of some sort.? If so are they helping you.? What are they doing?
  23. looks like this bloke is really keen on this item, a real Del Boy. like some sort of market trader or daytime sales Chanel. The History of gun making is one of hundreds of projects, some brilliant and some totaly useless. Even if a project is very good., is it streets better than something that's already out there ? This is a very American idea of .... I will because I can. You only have to look at every centerfire cartridge that Remington or Winchester or anyone developed at massive cost and as soon as it I produced some Ralph sees a need to modify it into some random wildcat round. For
  24. It depends on what sort of handgun. I think that some use long barreled handguns with a sort of wrist stock. These are more like a sort of carbine than a handgun. Although I was around when handguns were legal I never had one or even fired one. I've used sub machine guns, self loading rifles and gpmg but although I handled 9mm autos I never fired one. Some clubs use them but it's America for you or carry on dreaming.
