  1. Text speak.?? What is that then.?
  2. That's strange . The banned word in my post was 3 letters (what) and wasn't offensive, aggressive, rude or anything really. Odd. Anyway your posting.
  3. [BANNED TEXT] you doin.??? You been at the booze. You appear to be posting as normal from here.
  4. Been there.!! I was sitting behind the net in the hide. .... well I was until I shot the first pigeon. That's when muttley decided to break ranks and launch forward ripping down the hide and landing kicking and fighting in a ball of net like a bolted rabbit. Me left sitting on the drum completely exposed. This along with getting out of control chasing across the field after a winged bird flying about two feet off the ground until it came down three parts across the field. These events were my fault for failing to anticipate the actions of a dog. Now I could have given the dog a good thra
  5. Presumably as a club member you are using a club gun on the range if this is your first application,? It is a common failing on the part of applicants to think that it is what they consider allowing you to have. apply for what you have a reason to have. If you have the reason, the security and you haven't been a naughty boy then apply for whatever you can justify. i.e. if you had elephants or lion out there you wouldn't be applying for an air rifle. Also as a club member you could shoot on other ranges including military ranges. I thought that all that mentor nonsense had been scrapped.
  6. I know that dog.! I've seen it somewhere before. The woman next door has a clone of it. The muttly howls like a coyote when she goes out and leaves it behind. I'd go rouñd and teĺ her she was a bad person for causing the dog anguish but it would go strait over her head. Scatty as a box of frogs she is. ????
  7. Those times are unbelievably quick considering that in previous years before covid, cert applications or variations disapeared into a black hole. Renewals took months towards a year and they were handing out section 7's like leaves on the wind. So what was the excuse back then.? I seem to remember that it was lack of staff or some lame reason. Their oxygen thieves the lot of them.
  8. You wicked fellows you. Trying to evade the swear filter contrary to rules. Bar stewards you. ???
  9. RATS.!!! They are clever, they are razor Sharp regarding awareness. The other year we had a few coming over from a neighbours shed. I saw them on the infra red cctv at night. They never showed during the day and if it wasn't on the cctv l wouldn't have known that they were there. I caught them in traps in the past and they must leave a smell on the trap because they won't go anywhere near the traps again. Especially if there is any blood left behind. I hose the traps off if I use them. This time I set up a couple of bar over flip traps. I used bacon rind but had to use fuse wire to h
  10. You blasphemers you. ???. Perhaps they go to church on Sunday and have a picnic on Labour day. ( nut bush, .. Tina Turner). what exactly is mock swearing .?
  11. ???? well, confess your sins you heretics. Let's guess.... You actually went shooting.? You weren't a member of basic.? Or you went out "controlling, ...... cats". Or you suggested dumping a load of rabbit guts in kwisses hedge so that he is feasted with half a million blue bottles.? ????
  12. Yeah. Close enough so that you get the far ones in pattern when they flair away. The only downside is that on the odd occasion I've had one land so close that I missed when they flew off. Still it did show that the hide was good.
  13. Nice vid. How far out was the rotary.?
  14. I have been with these for several years. ( https://www.ccc3.co.uk/shooting-insurance ) I used to be with basic but They are a useless waste of space. CCC3 have been ok and you can actually speak to a human being that is in this country. I think that they are about £32 a year.

    I like the posts that Wolfe puts up like the alligators snouts poking up through the ice. I am out shooting both shotgun and rifle but I don't advertise the fact to neighbours. I.e.. I don't wander around waving guns about when I leave home.

    That is a bit of a sweeping statement. I was watching a vid of a bloke who took an amount of .22 guns out on a range. All of the ammunition was high velocity boom bang stuff. Now as far as he was concerned about was spraying the contents of a 1500 round bucket onto a man silhouette that he had drawn on a bit of board. Now considering that he was only about 15 to 20 yards away from the target the accuracy was piss poor. Admittedly the target bad guy would have ceased being a problem but after about a hundred hits. It's just a different mindset.

    Minor problem with that.... they ain't got any lead in the shops over there. And the stuff that they do have is so inaccurate that you probably wouldn't hit a barn door from more than 20 paces. ??

    I don't think that there are many. They come on and then disappear. I don't know why because they aren't given a hard time.
  19. Weird. That everyone in the US has a stache of guns but their isn't any ammo available, .. or very little. And that this lot is made in Russia. Still I suppose that the guns could be used as clubs. There isn't a lot of choice here either but that is mostly down to covid and stock levels in shops. No point in shops holding money on the shelves when not much shooting going on. We've got a simulated driven game clays shoot coming up soon for small bores. 28 and 410 and I've had a bit of a ring round for cartridges. None of shops have more than a couple of slabs readily available in the
  20. Is it a ability or expectation.? I would just freehand that crow at 75 yards without giving it a thought and expect a result. In fact I'd be surprised if I missed. Even when I was a teenager I never did the cowboys and Indians stuff. It wasn't what we did. IF I had done that I would have told to get up out of the dirt. And we shot at tin cans at about 50 yards with our air rifles. This Increased when we were told about putting a drip of red diesel Into the piston port of the rifle. So is it a case of ability or expectation.?
  21. Even way back in the eighties the shit tankers sucking it out of septic tanks took it to the shkt works and it was often dumped straight into the river. So many parts per million but along that river there must be about twenty sewage works that put water into the river. Perhaps not directly but indirectly into streams that eventually end up in the river. I've seen small outboard churning up green sludge and in the summer the bloody fools jumping off of the bridges into the river. I wonder how many got eye, ear infections or were on the pan next day. !!!
  22. Yeah. You didn't mention that it was two acres of knee deèp grass with a helping of slushy cat shit and that he had to use a shagged out push mower. ???
  23. Is it a 50/50.? Ask the audience or Phone a friend. Difficult decisions.
  24. They fail to mention a time limit. They didn't want to know when I went in to ask about a problem. They blamed covid. Be quick.
  25. SUPERB. YOUR SKIN IS LIKE VINYL. . SO CREEPY. I'll say that to the Mrs. ???? ? ..... the drummer ain't playing in sync. ??? We had this with a vise debit card in the first lockdown. The Mrs wanted us to go on the zip wire in Wales. Because of lockdown we couldn't go and they weren't operational but they didn't want to give the money back. You can go to the bank/building society but there are time limits. 90 days comes to mind. We were past the 90 days and past bank help. eventually zip wire did cough up but the cheeky sods claimed £3 admin. It depends on what you bought and ho
