  1. Thanks John, I'd love to see that, bet it looks awsome I used to have a Blackbird in the garden that has 'white feathers' on its head, we used to call her (didn't have a yellow beak) sh!t head LOL. Lovely bird, that was one of a brood of chicks a few years back that would come up to us and take food out of our hands in the garden. Not been so lucky since then though, they all seem to keep their distance now Phantom
  2. No bunnies? WOW!!! I'm thinking we need to set up a swap meet :laugh: Can someone provide the tree rats please Phantom
  3. Feck John, that was quick Nice looking bunny basher there sir The TX is a bunny likker and you will be surprised how easy it is to shoot that compared to other springers. Its well on par with the HW's Look forward to seing your results on paper as well as flesh and bone Phantom
  4. I dunno, I can fill either Well I could before I started taking these meds I've really gotta get some sleep
  5. Both of those guns are easily capable of much longer than the "Normal" ranges. Have a look at Zini's posts, it was his shooting that inspired me to begin to believe in my own capabilities as a Marksman and since then I've not looked back. 99 times out of a hundred, I will begin my shooting session with paper targets out at 35 yards. If I dont put all (or most of) the lead within the 20pence piece I give up and go home for the day. When I'm on form I do this with a .22 (sorry its the same old example, but its the only one I took the time to photograph) 35 yards on my zero.
  6. Is Beaver and Beef curtains classed as red reat Cuz they have gotta be the very best for munchin on Phanton
  7. CLASSIC line if ever there was one :notworthy: SPA 4 that Phantom
  8. Well until I had tasted Hare I would have agreed Actually I'd say that all my 1st three were joint 1st Phantom
  9. What do you shoot Dillon? Springer, PCP or Rammer? PCP's are deffinately the easiest to shoot. I taught myself to shoot using a springer at the traveling fun fares at Old Goole Gala and others. Had a break for over 20 years and then a mouse got me into seriously accurate shooting (a mouse brain is pretty small, no wonder I missed it!) Phantom
  10. Archie, my trigger finger is getting better but as soon as I stop with the cream, its back to cracking and bleeding The meet weekend was murder on my trigger finger I'd picked up a tube of E45 instead of the cream with the local anesthetic in it. Every shot was painfull as was every pellet loading, I could have cried. I think it was the blood on the trigger that made me win LOL Phantom
  11. Thanks guy's Wurz did you read about the day I was at the cemy and the robin lead me to the gravestone? That was sooooooo weird! Lesley's mam always said she was going to come back as a robin Have a read of this http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/123283-fuming/page__p__1271109__fromsearch__1#entry1271109 Its gotta be a coincidance I don't believe in re-incarnation and other religious stuff but this was FREAKY Phantom
  12. My baby is set at 11ft/lbs with AA Fields. My scope is Zeroed at 35 yards. I like to push the boundaries of my capabilities out to 60 yards for me is not a problem from the pod unless its windy! Using my springer though, is a different kettle of fish entirely Thanks Dillon
  13. Thats another gob full of Stella on my keyboard via my snotter :laugh: The bubbles sting!!!! Phantom
  14. And another from me. Nice shooting bud I just wish I had some Jay's around here Not to shoot, just to see one alive and to hear its screetch. $0+ years and never seen a Jay in the feathers They appear to be very sporadic around the country, heaving in one field or wood, then 2 miles away absolutely nothing! Phantom
  15. And what are the dates of the Hare season again :laugh: Well someone had to didn't they :laugh: I had Hare earlier this year, cooked over the BBQ by Scuba1 (remember him guy's ) He chucked on a few spices (not enough to overpower the flavour) and the result was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Drooooooooooooooooooling GOOOOOD :notworthy: 1st place Hare 2nd place Woody 3rd place Venison 4th place Best Rib Eye Steak & Best T-Bone Steak, come on mods we need a DRooooooooooooooooollllling ICON Phantom
  16. Thank you gentlemen Phantom
  17. I've only used a rammer once and I loved it The recoil was short and very fast, straight back, not back and up. As for the cocking, that will eventually smooth itself out, or you could try polishing the sears that may help. But the recoil is very different to s apringer, so much faster, making it easier to achieve better accuracy. If you've been using centre fire, you will know what I'm talking about. Long term Loan eh, thats my kinda language Phantom
  18. And after the trouble I had trying to get Zeus off my little finger today, I'd say he was practicing for exactly that scenario :laugh: :laugh: Phantom
  19. YEP out to 45 if you do your bit correctly, but 35 yards is a nominal distance for your average shooter. Marksman such as Si (Zini) can pull off much longer with a good springer such as HW's Phantom
  20. Nice going shay buddy Your not getting an SP from me, cuz your getting woodies and squizzers Lucky git!! Awwwwfeckit SPA Phantom
  21. Jack, Its not that creapy really, the people that are there are dead and covered with half a ton of soil each, so they aint gonna get up and complain about the noise levels or if I splatter blood over their marble or granite stones Bill, PM inbound Phantom
  22. Well done, and have lots of fun Look forward to reading your reports Dont forget the camera Phantom
  23. I've had the odd flukey shot too. Well done Cant believe you fed the woody to the ferrets though One of the finest meats on the planet thats the only meat the fezzers aing gonna get off me, unless they pry it from my cold dead hands! Bet the ferrets felt like Kings for the day Phantom
  24. Hey Roger Thats almost 10ft/lbs (9.94 according to CGP) At nominal (non FAC) it will do anything you want to on the vermin (as defined in this country not yours) Watch out Rockies Phantom
  25. Hey guy's, Decided last night that I needed some food for Zeus & Aphrodite (my two ferret kits) and the fact that I'd had more words with the soon to be ex-wife and needed to take my frustrations and anger out on some living things legally So I wandered down the cemetery to lie up in wait and kill the first thing that showed itself. Unfortunately the first couple of things to show themselves were not on my hitlist (or more to the point they are not on the GL's) the 1st being a lovely Robin that always seem to come to me when I'm in the cemetery. The second was at first I thought w
