  1. Absolute scumbags. Sorry to hear that, mate. Glad you at least got the one back.
  2. This sounds like an incredible and ethical way to contribute directly to rhino conservation. Getting that close to such a magnificent animal while aiding its protection must be a powerful experience. Well done on creating this initiative. I've shared your post to help spread the word.
  3. I'm finalizing plans for a long-range training session and keep hearing mixed reviews about Gritr Range. While their advertised 1200-yard lanes and tactical bays look ideal for testing my new chassis system, I'd value real user experiences before making the trip. For those who've visited: How's the actual target setup beyond the advertised distances? I've had issues at other ranges where terrain limits the usable yardage despite claims. Their website mentions electronic scoring - does this include detailed feedback like shot timings or just basic impact detection? Also curious about
  4. That’s correct about Udal law! It’s a Norse-derived customary law still recognized in parts of Scotland’s Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland). Unlike mainland Scotland, where the Crown typically owns the foreshore, Udal law grants these rights to private landowners. It’s fascinating how this medieval system persists – especially in disputes over fishing rights or coastal development. A 2018 case (Shetland Salmon Ltd v. Crown Estate Scotland) even reaffirmed its validity. Worth noting, though, that modern Scottish legislation sometimes overrides it, so local advice is key for land-use pla
  5. The FX Wildcat is a solid choice for hunting - lightweight and accurate. Ever tried adding a bipod for prone shots? Might make it even steadier. Good job on the hedgehog rescue too!
  6. Finding a Twin Post Reticle scope in 4×36 for running target shooting can be challenging since they’re quite rare. You might want to check with specialty optics retailers or browse used gear listings on platforms like eBay and airgun forums. If the twin post isn’t available, a German #4 or heavy duplex reticle could be a good alternative for quick target acquisition. Some manufacturers also offer custom reticle options, so it may be worth reaching out to them directly. Good luck with your search — I hope you find what you’re looking for. If I come across anything suitable, I’ll be sure to
  7. For your needs, the Rifleman or Fiery Deer sticks should work fine. Since you’re shooting from a chair or short stalks, you don’t need the durability of Prinors. I’ve used the Fiery Deer for similar pest control - it’s lightweight and stable enough for air rifle ranges. Just check the locking mechanism; some budget models wobble if not tightened properly.
