  1. Not very good with forums will get my son to help put some up tomorrow.The HW80 is .22 and hasn't had more than 2 tins through it.The air arms sidelever isn't catching when you try to cock it so needs a bit of attention,is in good used condition in .22.The Feinwerkbau is .177 in a decent used condition bluing good condition,a few marks on stock through field use
  2. I am looking to sell the above guns is anyone interested?
  3. id like to see some also, i beleive they are a nice type Have known of Arthur since I started at Woolley Pit 1980 and his dogs have always done the business in the ring but more importantly in the field
  4. The very mention of the word Plummer or Hancock fetches a lot of dickheads out of the closet wanting to have them hung drawn and quarted for the least pssible thing. Fact is Hancock does breed a lot of dogs every year some good some bad but on the other hand the people whe buy them aren't always the sharpest tool in box in regards of fetching the best out of their puppies.During last 15 years I have had two half cross border greyhounds off him,neither of them were world beaters but just honest to goodness working dogs working to lamp and longnets ferreting.Fact is generally you get out of you
  5. Yorkshire duck could be the same as penny duck which i think is like savoury meat[mince like faggots ]
  6. When a dog injures itself and the injury reoccurs it is usually because there hasn't been enough time for it to heal and repair itself.Vets usually [good ones]prescribe the right treatment and for the injury you describe painkillers and antiinflammotry tablets are the norm.A week isn't a long time in terms of healing,try a little bit longer then start roadwork[most important part of a running dogs wellbeing]then start galloping before moving onto a few slips. If you don't allow enough time for an injury to heal and you keep running it and it keeps breaking down you could end up with a perma

    broken toe

    Over years I have had many broken and dislocated toes on my lurchers,so have picked up a bit of experience.You dont say where the toe is broken which is important.I used a greyhound vet to treat any injuries and he said if the break or dislocation was at the first joint then the toe was better off amputated to that joint.A dogs running abilities will not be affected too much,but the problem is when a toe is removed it places pressures on adjacent toes when turning etc.So i ended up with more missing toes. If I had a break now I would treat the dog with painkillers and antiinflammotry tablet

    duramitex

    Was told by a vet years ago to dilute it down and spray dogs and kennels as it contained similar ingrediants to nuvantop.I used it for years with no ill effects. BUT and a big but duramitex is a banned substance due to it being an organophosphate[nerve agent].So basically if you breathe it in your body has difficulty expelling the chemical from your body.So use it at your peril.

    jokes

    Can we please have some more jokes to cheer us all up
  10. You were lucky you spotted the ferrets early enough to do something about it.When it is warm like it is now we have hoticultural netting we hang from the hutches which lets air circulate but stops suns strong rays getting through. Yung ferrets can't regulate there body temperature like older ones and soon sucumbe to effects of heat.The best thing to do is put the hosepipe on any effected to fetch body temperature down quickly and force water into them.We use a shringe to do this,force the mouth open and get as much fluid into them as you can,then put them somewhere cooler.Keep repeating hos
  11. If you have permission off farmers and the land has been approved for use of a firearm you can shoot on there without your ticket being an open one.This is a bit of a grey area but think it's right what i have just put.
  12. You generally get what you pay for,we use Falconry electronics and can vouch for there products and after sales service.
