    Where as 2010 I came first, 2011 I came last even the springer boys beat me and the juniors! Not coz of my shooting, but my ranging abilities, If I dont use em daily, I loose em very quickly See you there Daz Tony

    Perhaps I should have? Well at least I should have painted in blood two lines under hi eyes (pass the big wooded spoon please ) On a new permission I always taste the blood of the first kill, something in that old tradition I think, but maybe thats just me? Tony

    Wow, looks like you were pretty close to the Deer I love them, live or on the plate When Woodworm and I went out the other day, I saw a black Kit, had a few of them over the last years and I have one of his uncles in salt at the moment waiting for me to process. Good little read that and thanks for putting in the time for us Tony

    Interesting, you got the math correct, Nice one. But as for the energy needed for the rabbit, the general consensus is that it's less than 6. I have put down rabbits (brain shot) with as little as my HW70, thats putting out less than 1 ft/lbs. Used to take it with me to finish off woundings until I was taught how to neck them properly The boffins in the white coat's claimed 0.4 ft/lbs is enough energy to shut down the brain on a bunny. May be a good idea to change font colour for something a little more contrasty as well I had to strain to read the text. Tony

    Cheers Steve, I've shot hundreds of the bloody things and most just drop, I was quite taken aback when it started flapping even with it's head on the deck limp! Normally when I stretch the neck it usually removes the head totally, this one, I stopped short and now it looks like a cross with a Swan Well my bunnies from t'other day are going to be cooked later along with the two young uns, the Woody will join some of it's brethren in the fridge and be cooked on Sunday Woody woody yumyum I need sleep, g'night

    Popped down to the Perms with Woodworm1972, heres how it went Chris AKA Woodworm arrived a little earlier than expected today (traffic must have been good to him) which given the superb weather was a good thing as we got more time in the field. First stop was to Sainsburies to get some crisps for a snack whille we were out, noticed that 4x1 pint cans of Stella were £3.70 I figured I'd get 8 for later. Then we whipped through the masses of trafic down Great Gutter Lane and straight to the Cemetery. Upon entering I placed my on the gates and we were about to start our zero check when

    I would suggest the timber yard, you need a tight grain hardwood not your everage Red/White wood. The timber yard will be the cheapest and if they haven't got it there they will get it for you already dried. Tony

    Skot, If you have the original Combro, you can recalibrate it to it's original factory settings by removing batteries. If you have a mk3 or 4, you can adjust the calibration to match any other that you feel is more accurate, ie have it done at the gunshop or police FAR. If the Combro does not match the other, you can alter it so that it does. Useful Then every shot that is fired should match up with the other chrono. To check, put on your combro and pell details or just have it set to FPS then fire it through the larger chrono so you get both sets of readings for one shot Tony

    Yeah, or you may be able to download it from your Police Force website. There is in England, Scotland and Wales a fee involved as well. You may be able to book an appointment with the FEO (firearms enforcement officer) or the equivalent over there, who will explain all thats involved, it could be (force dependant) a few weeks or a couple of months.

    Local Police station if they'll let you have one. Gun safe, doctors reports, mischief in your past, you cant just go and ask for one over the counter. FAC is a FireArms Certificate. Tony

    You going all "Multicultural" on us old bean? :laugh:

    Mike, you are correct about them retaining the heat for hours But who's going to wait for hours after school/college in order to bung in a piece of wood? Even at 100'C (complicated bit here) the wood, would not survive as the heat would steam the wood and feck it up big time To dry wood correctly in a kiln, takes days or weeks (depending on type of wood) at a constant heat in order to minimise drying time Tony

    Mine is a Combro Skot Just had it rebuilt and recalibrated after a slight accident with a pistol turned the thing into an expensive 3D Jigsaw puzzle I trust it The only thing I don't trust is the serial cable, but only because I don't have a standard serial connector on my laptop, so I have to run it through a Serial to USB converter and somewhere in the software driver for the converter, the readings on the comp are different to the ones on the display. I went out last night into the cemetery for the night. Because I'm using the Crosmans now instead of the FX, I printed the traje

    First and formost, Welcome aboard. Secondly as Mike said FAC is a must over your part of the world unfortunately even for a sub12 Gaining permission is usually pretty hard, approach as many farmers, land owners, riding centres, hotels the list is endless, if its got grass and bunnies, find out who's responsible for the land and drop em a line, DavyT63 put up some decent and tweakable (for your own details etc) letters and perm slips, a quick search and you'll find them on the forum Shooting insurance is pretty much a deffinate requirement (demonstrates a good level of responsibility
