  3. Sorry to hear about your loss, it's always hard to lose a really good friend. Keep his remembrance alive, in keep doing the things he loved to do.
  4. Great photo's , something you don't see every day, well done
  5. Another one (sideways) Penetration is half that of loading the pellet the right way in the barrel. Gives all its energy to the target, no over-penetration this way
  6. That all started when they banned proper crackers to be sold. The same happened here in the Netherlands. Making them illegal created a black market without any control or restriction. All the extreme heavy stuff is coming in from Poland and the Tsjech republic. When you could buy good fireworks in the shop, nobody bothered to get the illegal stuff. Without any proper border control all that stuff is coming in and causing a lot of nuisance for elderly people, pets and property, but it's a market which was created by our own PC governments.
  7. I did a picture of " the other way round pellet " in the trapping section. But as this is the airgun section, I'll do it here as well Power wise I would use either a 22xx Crosman CO2 model ( cheap) , a HW45 / BSA 240 Magnum spring pistol (expensive), or a Brocock pneumatic( more expensive). These all come close to the UK max of 6 fpe These were shot from a distance of 7 meters in a piece of pine with a BSA Supersport .25 doing 10 fpe with 18 grain Norinco " Apache " pellets. (< 500 fps) Using a soft lead pellet " towr " will shown more expansion than using a RWS hollowpoi

  16. it looks easy, but...... Do it myself the " standard " way e.g.open up the belly with a knife and get the intestines out, using my fingers
