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.

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

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.?

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. !!!

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. ???

Is it a 50/50.? Ask the audience or Phone a friend. Difficult decisions.
-
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.

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

Separately in spam mail I had a msg that 3 people had unfriended me. !!!!??? My reaction to the Mrs was f***ing good job to.! That's 3 arseholes that I haven't got to worry about. All I got to deal with now is to throw out the Mrs Christmas card list.!!! That would furnish me with at least a thousand 28 bore cartridges.... and a few triple whopper burgers also.

Just more kit to lug around. I know a bloke who "controls", a lot and he squeaks them on the back of his hand. The thing is that some come in like a train and others just don't want to know and have other plans at that time. Another night that same Charlie presents well.

I was given a caller by a Canadian professor of geology who was passing by on route to Europe. I don't know what the make is because I never use it. It never drew a fox but it would draw magpies and crows. Knowing the ground that I use, I Mainly travel light on foot using the vantage poiñts to keep the distances down. Over the years I've gained experience using both voice calling and squeaker whistles. I've had them given to me from Australia, Canada and America but the most effective is one that I made from soldering two cymbals together from a toy tambourine. I used to shoot with a

Yeah but It was the same old same old. It is so frustrating watching England play football. It's a wonder that I'm not on my tenth tv. There is a serious fault in the FA that we produce superb footballers and yet no one knows what the objective of the game is or which direction the opposition goal is or the fact that the idea of the game is to get the ball over the opposition goal line. God help them when they run into a panzer division.! I remember being out in Turkey on holiday during a world cup and Germany thrashed us. It was a devastating defeat. An embarrassment.

I haven't usually got much time for the police but this prat is just playing a stupid game which ultimately he will loose. Either he will blow up under load or the system will crush him. It's like the bloke I wrote about earlier. who got more and more barmy and his life became more and more contorted as time went by. I'm not surprised if he didn't end up in a loony bin or was just found dead somewhere. There was a bloke whose daughter was killed on the Lockerby plane crash. His life was committed to get to the bottom of it all but it strained his health and to this day there has never be

Yep. He's a total bloody head case. It's no different than all the stupid nonsense about trump and the stolen election. People get a crackpot idea in their head and it takes over their life and thought pattern. As like the people who deny the vaccine. ... natural selection comes to mind. They can take the chance. It's their right.
-
It's fake news. have you any valid proof that this event happened.? do you think that this is because of covid..?
-
I watched this bloke online for a short period the other night. I soon dumped it. He is a total head case. We used to have a customer exactly like him and at first we listened to him and his story and problems with interest and sympathy but after a while we switched off and avoided the bloke whenever he came in. Initially the stories were plausible but after a while they got more and more ridiculous. Like... "I was driving along minding my own business and the police pulled me up for no reason. Then another police car crashed into my vehicle. Then a fire engine crashed into both of us a

Never wish youŕ time away. People say "oh it was better in the good old days" but it never was. It is a case of rose tinted glasses. I'm not all that old to remember this stuff but life was worse back then really. If you go and look back on old YouTube vids alĺ the people looked old, they all looking like refugees. It was all hand to mouth back then. Standards of life in all ways have risen greatly. The only reason that people could leave their doors unlocked was that they had bugger all worth anything.

Here it is? . Don't know her born lad.!

I'm to young to know those places in London because we didn't live there but father used to frequent them. He lodged and worked in London. I vaguely remember being taken to petticoat lane market on odd Sundays when I stayed up there during holidays. I remember the shouts of the market traders. In the streets there were rag and bone men that came round the streets like Steptoe and son standing up on the cart and shouting out. Even in those days someone coming round on a horse and cart was out moded . It must have been towards the end of an era. I remember more about Maidstone market. Wi

Although I have an arris, I also have a Harris which is permanently fitted to my 223. I only use it when shooting off of a vehicle. The reason being is that it ain't much fun laying on soaking wet ground or in sloppy sheep shit and more often than not the position is too low to see the target due to the lay of the ground or the height of the grass ect. To improve this situation I made a simple folding two leg steady rest out of a scrap road sign frame. Sometimes I will use a tree or a fencepost, but mostly I shoot freehand. Some people shoot off of a couple of sticks tied at the top. It
-
That's interesting. What's the powder charge difference between the two.?
-
???? There is no answer to this question, every gun is different. The 22lr is probably the most stable round which will take all sorts of different makes and be ok. Almost any round will give reasonably good results. Some better than others.

A young couple near me inherited a piece of land and had the same idea. The borough council and parish council have played them up hill and down dale for several years and everything has had to have inspections and reports. She keeps setting dates when she wants to be in but the way it's going its more likely that they'll be drawing their pensions before that happens. She's mad keen on horses but I don't think that building a pair of brick pillar gateposts and fitting golden horse heads on them was a good idea. It didn't leave a good impression with the neighbours.
