Yeah yeah yeah. But can they seè off a car powered by a clapped out Suffolk punch lawnmower engine.??

Attack mode,;;; Attack mode.! .? Are they issued with an axe or Bodica tyre hacking attachments a la James Bond.? The more blood and body parts the more points.

Well are you.? I read that's it's been going since 2014. And that the BBC have been sreening it for three years. Now I've only seen small clips of it. I haven't got a clue about the drivers the team's or anything. The few clips of it that I have seen have been as exciting as paint drying. It would be more interesting to take a deckchair out to the road and watch the traffic go by. It ain't exactly grabbing me by the balls. So punks does it interest you. Who's your favorite driver and did he do 5 laps or 6.? You tell me.!

Goodbye to “Sporting rifle” magazine
Meece replied to shovel leaner's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
A friend does target air pistol and air rifle shooting at a club.these blokes are pretty serious about it and have rifles and pistols costing Many hundreds. All of this target work is 177 stuff and they use wadcutter pellets. I had a 20 cal air rifle and my mate asked for a handful of my H N .20 wadcutter pellets. He took them to the club and secretly dropped 2 or three into the tins of the other shooters along the line whilst they were concentrating on taking aim. ????. Eventually one of these pellets was picked out and it wouldn't chamber. Now these serious types had to have a technical en -

Sparrows and Starlings might be rare around your yard but because some beastly boy kept shooting them They decided to move to the gardens around here. Something else.... tins of pellets are now a matter of going to see your bank manager for a loan. I remember lads going through a couple of tins in a weekend, ? ,!!! Cheap springers didn't last long. -

Going way way back when I was a kid I used to pester mother to get the shooting Times for me every Thursday when she went to the local market. I waited like a dog for it to arrive. Bitterly disappointed if she couldn't get the latest copy. Then suddenly change and it was just adverts and fairy stories written by people who weren't shooting men. They were just chancers writing nonsense stories as a job like they wrote all sorts. A bit like when Jack Hargrieves changed from actually going pigeon shooting to talking about making wicker baskets and other crap. Mother was stood down from g -
All of them.?? That comment isn't right. I think that you ought to do a bit more research into the facts. ...A few of the turbines have frozen up but the majority are working. The reason that the ones that did freeze up was that they aint designed to operate in sub zero temps is because it doesn't get down to these low temps in Texas. Wind turbines work in Sweeden. Most of Texas electricity is generated by coal and gas. It's just an extraordinarilycold spell that their not geared up for. Fact check: Frozen wind turbines don't deserve all the blame for Texas blacko

But herein lays the problem. The keyboard warriors on here who do nothing but post complete nonsense fabricated conspiracies about American politics aren't in America so anything they post has no factual basis. You live there and therefore you are in a better position to have perspective than the regurgitated tripe from third parties on this site.

Hey man be wary of your water pipes that are frozen. As your not used to this sort of low temps and freezing, If the pipes are really frozen solid they are possibly split by the ice expansion. When the ice melts you may have burst pipes dumping water all over the place. This might include flooding out you house. I hope that you know where to turn of the water at the main supply pipe. Possibly down at the road. Sometimes when this happens especiallyif this hasn't happened before you might not have a tool key to turn the stop tap off or it might be so stiff to turn off. I hope that you don

Yeah but is there someone attached to them.? ?. You keep warm man. The southern freeze has been on the tv news over here. It must be a real shock to the system over there. Especially how the low temps are not normal there. Last week down south here in England the temp got down to -5c at nights for a few days and the wind made it feel a lot colder. It was a bummer here so the minus temps in Texas must feel like Joe has sent the snow to punish the republicans. Still donny's got plenty of blubber on him to resist the cold.????? Ps. Holy dog.!! I thought that they were shoes. After

I know where you're coming from. I've been told that I have too many guns but ive got them and have set a precedent to have them and as such I keep them. From the forums it comes across as if over here we are treated as subjects and have no guns but that isn't quite how it is. Sure they banned handguns and auto rifles ect but apart from a fun shooting aspect most didn't have a sensible purpose. We live in a very populated island and space is small. We can have weapons but the person that wants them has to show various things, like.... what purpose is the gun for. E.g. sporting, target

4895, 4895, 4895, 4895, 4895, 4895. Oh how we loved it. How we miss it's passing. Still I've got a bit laid by. I ain't got my back against the wall but 4895 developed a high energy which isn't matched by comparable burn speeds. H4895 has a very high specific energy rating for a single-base powder, at 4,060 KJ / Kg which isn't matched by comparable burn speed powders. Still I built this load so I'm sure I can assemble another match given time, money and effort. I think Wilson does Lovex powders which might be similar. sea water freezes at about -2○C ...Google.?

If boar are in this area for that many years either somone is actively reducing the numbers or there are a lot there. If they are in residence it will be noticeable. Fields and orchards will be turned over like they have been plowed.

Those groups are tighter than the other previous groups. I used to use targets like those but I changed over to using simple orange target dots about an inch in diameter on the back of old plain wallpaper. I drove two stakes into the ground and cut pieces off about 2 feet long and stapled the paper to the stakes. These wallpaper targets could be written on and taken along to many days of tests and the results compared on the one shèet. I stopped using those targets with all the box grid lines because the lines get confused with the bullet holes. The Orange dot was the target and at 100

Beastly snow. Down this far south we hardly get any and if we do get a bit, it's generally gone in a couple of hours. It snowed for about 2 days the other week but it fell as sort of sleet slush stuff and didn't make much more than about half an inch. I can't say that I've ever gone out rifle testing laying down in the snow but been out foxing in the snow. I've found that it is pretty much a waste of time trying to shoot in the snow with a lamp when the snow is falling. Different thing with a shotgun such as roosting ect. I was surprised at the narrowness of a shotgun pattern when a rabbit

Don't be concerned about the paint on the wall or sound quality or having a load of different guns. I'd rather have one gun which I knew that I could take out a rat at 100 paces with consistently and reliably with one shot than spray and prey with a truck load of random guns of dubious ability. As you previously stated in an earlier post about people won't lay out the dollar for high end stuff is probably why Remington went bust and CZ have just bought Colt. It's also the same reason that we find that American 22 ammunition is so unreliable and inaccurate. Still it's all good fun and th

When I was in my teens probably 18, I shot a squirrel with my 410 and I took it home to show mum. The next day after dinner she asked my brother and I what we thought of the small bit of meat that was separate on the plate from the chicken. We both said that it was nice. We both asked her why the question. She replied that she'd skinnned the squirrel and cooked it up for us to try.!! When father was up the jungle in Burma, they didn't have anything to eat so they ate snakes, iguana and monkeys of some sort. Mind you he came back a different bloke than the one that went out there.

on that life below zero from the wilds of Alaska, trap and eat them. along with pelts and other. they recon their good eating. I suppose its like most meat. it depends on how old the animal is as to how good eating it is. I expect that if it was just dished out on a plate and you weren't told what it. was then you'd probably say it was good. from google >>>>But as for flavor, beaver is known for having a very pleasant taste. It is often compared to grass fed beef. Some people claim beaver meat is lean while others say that it has a pleasant amount of fat.

Oh how this takes me back to the weeks and months out on ranges and the field loading and testing numerous powders and bullet combinations to come up with best loads for my rifles. This setup you have is really good. I had a chronograph but no direct communication with the target end. We used a pair of walkie talkies with the spotter standing out to the side. I used to use the back a roll of wall paper and put stickers onto it so as to keep all of the data in one place for comparison. god knows how much I spent on all of this stuff. I quite agree with KIM E in that I think that You were

Could be the wind. I've heard very similar sounds on Fox calling download sounds...... which don't sound like any natural noises I've ever heard. If you go and lòok at Foxes calling sounds and trawl through I'm sure that you will find similar noises.

I notice from the news that most of the US is under a winter storm and that even parts of nortern Mexico are frozen and under snow. How ìs this weather affecting creatures like alligators and these turtles that are frozen in.?

How thick is that ice? What do those things eat.? When we went to Mauritius in the Indian ocean there were a few tortoises at a sort of zoo which were several hundred years old and were pretty large. Kind of prehistoric looking creatures.

Hi. I've been to Turkey 3 times on annual holidays. Twice to Kushadasi and once to Side. When we were in Side I asked at the hotel about clay pigeon shooting and they asked if I wanted to shoot someone ?? after reassuring them that I didn't want to shoot anyone they had a conversation amongst themselves and decided to call the sports federation in Ankara about it. There didn't seem to be any clay pigeon shooting available in the area but a young porter at the hotel said that there were a couple of gunshops in Manavgat which wasn't very far away. The porter drew us a street map of where

My spaniel is very partial to a bit of curry especially over cold greasy dogo biscuits and dogo chunks! both my sister and brother have entertained semi tame Charlie's that seem to come and go and come back some months later. You mean that the Fox has a more refined palate than you.? ????

Unless he lives in braemar in Scotland it is not -23c. And that was only overnight. Down south we were forecast for heavy snow and high winds. Yep the forecast was correct, we did get some snow and wind but the snow was wet slushy stuff and didn't amount to much.. every day the sun has come out and the snow has melted. Not very warm but hardly suitable for freezing. Slight concern about storing frozen food in aluminium loñg term due to inter reaction especially if the food is acidic and corrosion of the ally. Stuff that you buy in those ally coñtainers from the chinky ain't ment for long t
