  1. i thought it was start behind the clay, move to the clay, push through and pull the trigger! now i dont like that method, i use maintained lead. but its everyone to their own, and the stlye that the person who taught them to shoot. thats my 2pence worth, feel free to correct me if im wrong!
  2. neither of these boots in all honesty, i've tried both an cant stand them, Altburg boots are the best! would never go anywhere else but to richmond for them either.
  3. yes your right, hinges BUT ALSO locks, padlocks. they use them on f*****g everything over there from the front doors on the living quarters, to the doors on the compound walls! i did a whole bazzar on Op Panthers Claw to gain quick and easy access to the shops,(if you can call them that) better then using a sledge hammer!
  4. there also used for shooting dogs that try to attack the lads while clearing compounds, it reduces the risk of ricoche! and for removing padlocks and door locks.
  5. WOW! i just read this entire thread, you lot "down under" have it made! im not just a little bit jealous but a whole bloody lot! your pig running looks amazing! and the dogs look fantastic, are they purley for hunting or are they part of the family too!? im also sorry to hear about the loss of the dogs! but one last question i've not seen or over looked on here, what are your dogs protection made from!? and is it put on like a harness over there heads!? cheers
  6. 1/2 and 3/4 will cover you for everything they can throw at you!!
  7. Si, i've tried that, and keep getting a "currupt files" message! i downloaded the chairgun pro program that hawk also does. its does both the map 8 and map 6 rectiles! hope this helps mate!
  8. if its any help theres an artical in this months Air Gunner about how to do rabbit pelts....cant be much different just on a smaller scale, hope this helps!
  9. this is what happend to me when i first got a tin of them, but in .22! take them back and get a good tin of them, i always open them in th shop now before i leave so if there shit i can get a different tin there an then!!

  11. cheers guys. just having to trawl through the internet find some plans/images to work off. i'll keep you informed! masmiffy and 8shot... thanks for that, definatly an insentive to give this ago!
  12. so i was trawling threw the deer stalking forum, and had a little moment of insparation...not often i have these im the first to admit, BUT i think i could be onto a winner! .....use a high seat! ... its good right? too high for them too sent you. above their usual visual checks when there alert. that just leaves...sound. well 2 outa three im happy with that. but what i want to know is...has anyone else tried this approach to rabbit shooting? im the first to admit im more likley to use this method in better (A LOT warmer!) weather. And finaly does anyone have plans for one of these before
  13. ok so i know how to zero my rifle. but this is what i'd like to know..... when zeroing a scope, where do you measure the "zero" from... the muzzle of the rifle where the barrle ends OR the windage elevation turrets of the scope?! cheers guys!
  14. cheers for that Zini mate, sorry to here about your posting. all the best! Matt
  15. does anyone have some tips for shooting the little buggers?! i have to thin them out from stealing all the peanuts off my in-laws bird table! apart from them visiting the bird table would they move to a new place for easier shooting if i just moved the peanuts but left it a few days before shooting them!? cheers!
  16. chalktargets.co.uk brilliant little chalk targets which give a great visual comformation that there hit with a big cloud of chalk dust!
  17. was this the Hawk golf range finder? i was looking on uttings.co.uk last night at it! was tempted but wunt sure!!
  18. a bad days shooting is better then a good day at work

  19. my FRIST love was a webley Xocet .22 its still upstairs! its an amazing little air rifle in my opinion!! i was knockin bunnys over at 40yards with mine, countless hours of fun plinking and hunting with it!! if its in good nick i'd get it! Harry
  20. haha i know mate, but i can always hold my breath! and thanks anyway it is a shame, otherwise i'd be biting your arm off to get out with you!
  21. I was wondering if there is anyone so kind on the cambridgeshire, essex and hertfordshire border area (I'm at Saffron Walden) who would be able to give me an introduction to deer stalking and management. Im not asking to be taken out and be taken stalking, but someone who i could watch, learn and pick there brains. I am keen to hopefully take up stalking, i've already looked into doing my DSC and done some background reading, but nothing beats learning from a seasoned stalker. hope to hear from someone soon, Harry
  22. alrite guys, i was just woundering where abouts in north yorkshire has good clay grounds, i visit my girlfrieds family up there and need somewhere to shoot in or around Yarm! any help much welcomed! cheers Matt
  23. its cheap, and chearful, but i use a surefire tourch with th pressel cap and jus use electric tape to hold it to my rifle, plus you can bye a few filters for it includin IR if you happen to have Night Vision capability! find the surefire tourches from all good surplus stores, uktatical.com are good!
