  1. Nice job buddy in such a short space of time Looks purdy darn good Phantom
  2. This is not looking good guy's Another hour passes without word from our man in the field. I am now convinced that the bunnies have overpowered him or they have their own guns and have him pinned down unable to escape. Phantom.
  3. Well guy's its been nearly two hours since the breaking news and no update as yet. This means that either the bunnies have taken Davy hostage and we will be getting a ransome note from them soon (which we won't bother paying if its over a carrot). Or Davy is such a crap shot, he aint hit owt yet :11: I believe the hostage theory myself :laugh: Phantom
  4. They are way too big for me and shroom to lift were only little guy's ya know Phantom
  5. Was gonna say, Festa, Marksman and Zini all use em But Gary beat me to it. Phantom
  6. Ummmm...... Sounds like a lot of pennies for a lil bag. I have thought about making one before and using sand to fill it with, It would be ok for shooting from gate posts etc.. where a bipod is of no use, but I like the versatility of height adjustment with the pod. ATB Phantom
  7. Refurbed an old ASI Rangemaster a couple of years back The stock was the hardest part to do, it was heavily varnished and had a crack running from the front of the stock to the trigger. Stripped back to the wood and lightly stained it then used 3 or 4 coats of linseed oil. Came up superb I'd love to do another. I'll enjoy watching you work on this my good man Enjoy Phantom
  8. Link broken Aaron How big and heavy is the bag when filled? Phantom
  9. Now Now Boys, Please play nice, Begsy, shroom was just trying to inject a lil humor into the thread Aaron I refere you to read the T&C's of using the board, which clearly state, dont extract the urine out of peoples spelling Phantom
  10. Spot on Gin, Aint Google great? Phantom
  11. Sweet Cajun Squizzer and Woodie Phantom
  12. The AA s200 is indeed a fine piece of kit, for £400 you would get a decent 2nd user one as well as pump, and decent scope. I use one myself in .22 Phantom
  13. Spot on Archie, We all want a good deal of Pb in exchange for our hard earned Cu don't we Sorry thats the Chemist in me talking :laugh: Phantom
  14. Hey Lads, lasses, ladies and the rest of us here I know there are a number of Air Pistol shooters that use this forum :cool: I am the secretary of the Umarex Boys Club - Online International Air Pistol Shooting Club We are holding our fourth meeting of members and live competitions at the Greyhound Shooting Club (Coventry) very soon. Details at http://umarexboysclu...g/about793.html At the last meeting we had a representitive from Webley bring a couple of the Alecto pistols for us to try out for them as well as the PROTOTYPE Carbine rifle you see in my avatar We cover co
  15. Corker!!! Damn right I'd complain I pay for 500, I damn well want 500 If they give me more, then hey, thats their tough titty (or soft lead) After a heavy thread like the ethicks, this is gonna be a dose of light entertainment :clapper: Phantom PS Idont actually count them
  16. Congrats Shay Got your PM thanks Will reply later to you via PM Phantom
  17. Nice going Jasper I was sat her in the early hours wondering why you hadn't been putting up more Davy. Figured you must be bored with the typing or summat Look forward to reading em again Davy Phantom
  18. I was inspired by your pic roger So I went out this afternoon specifically to hunt down and pop a pigeon. Well a Woodie to be precise. I know where the monsters I mentioned in my previous post hang out, so figured I'd try my luck and grab me one I couldn't get within 60 yards of the buggers . The most cover I have on my permission at the moment is some very large Mole Hills. What wound me up the most though, was the fact that as I walk to my paddock permission along the road, there were two of the bloody things, having it off on top of a street lamp right outside the cricket cl
  19. Hi Edgar, Thats a valid point you make there Part of studying Marksmanship Skills is the study of ballistics and not just the flight path of the pellet. Much can come down to the barrel of your gun, the number of lands and groves and the direction and number of turns of the rifling. A rifle that has say six lands and turns once to the right will make the pellet spin in a clockwork direction and the pellet will climb to the right if the wind is blowing from the right. (I am open to be corrected on that though) The same pellet with the same spec barrel but the twist being left makes th
  20. Polymers and plastics I can see it working on , but not on a porus stock such as wood surely Having said that, superglue is water soluable, so if you were out in the rain or it got wet for some other reason such as dropping the gun in a torrent of water (Don't worry Niel buddy I won't mention any names ) the glue would rapidly fail Phantom
  21. Cheers guy's bit out of my league then, wonder if I can get any funding from the government Its something I would be interested in doing when I'm classed as sane enough; erm sorry, fit enough to work again Phantom
  22. Ummmmm............. Should I or shouldn't I? Gary, that doesn't say much for you Sir :laugh: But I'm not going to bring this thread any further down than that as we all got a bit of a bollocking not too long back after someone else said something along similar lines Phantom
  23. I agree with what you say there However; if like you say, conditions are very good (perfect is best) and marksmaship skills (including judging wind speed, direction and hold over) are up to it then there would not be a problem. It takes no more than 4ft/lbs (could be less) to kill a bunny with a headshot. A pellet fired at 10ft/lbs has a retained energy of 7 ft/lbs at 45 yards (according to Chairgun Pro) so transfering that energy into a bunny would result in an instant kill with a headshot. I have taken 45 and 50 yard headshots and they have been sucessful one shot kills. Again
