    I have got to question where you get you percentages from? Wont the genes be split 50/50 between both parents? All your other points make good sense though. Sorry, i think i should have written that from Reading, listening and talking to the guys/gails in the know that know a million times more than me, it has been said that only around 30% of the dogs gene will go into his offspring. the rest comes from the bitch.

    why is it the dog that people go on about. because dogs get used in trails as they dont have seasons so they dont shut down like a bitch does. Only around 30% of the dogs genes go in to the put. 70% is from the bitch. dont, is its a first time cocker owner, go for a loaded FTCH/FTW you will have your work cut out and not get the best out of the pup. try and take a pup that is keeper breed that can do a full seasons work. field trial dogs dont do as much work as a keeper-ed dog, fact. they only get sent for a few birds that the trainer wants and then the proper dogs have to sweep the shoot

    I think it was disgusting, shooting foxed with water, you might have its eye out, then you would be knackered when it comes to looking for the pair of eyes in the lamp light. I thought you came across very well. i knew it had to be edited as you hit charlie with one bullet.lmao. Phil.

    Have a look at the opticron range. i have the Oregon 8x42 and for £100 im more than happy with them. waterproof, clear optics, good at dawn/dusk and a very good,long, UK warranty, should you need it. a good friend had some swaros and after using mine for a few days he sold his, bought the same as min and pocketed £700 towards a new rifle. says it all really.

    If you can post the s200 air rifle then i will take it please. I'm sorry to hear the reason for you having to sell up. life's crap at times.

    first time out? only 16mths so excitement has got to him a little. dont stress about it to much yet. if you can get some cold game then get him on that just to calm him down a little. i was worried about my lad when he first tried feather and he crushed the chest in. i left it for a little while and tried on pigeon. first couple he crushed but as soon as he realised there was another retrieve he soon switched. it didn't stop him catch birds though. he caught a poult a few weeks back but release with no other problems. chill with him and see how he goes.

    I think they do learn. i have been shooting them off my roof for years, but when i start taking a one a day then they stop landing on my roof and just go next door instead. i have been without an air rifle for a little while and now they have started landing on my roof again. so in answer i would say most definitely yes Phil.

    soak in salted water overnight and then fresh water and salt into a stock pot, bring water and rabbits to boil and then simmer for 2 1/2 hours. i put a bouquet garni of herbs in with a few peppercorns as well. any thank that dont look right i just cut off and bin. Phil

    same as masterhunter. only other thing i do is put them in a cup of warm soapy water as i find they stretch easier. the bottom line i put over 30mm of fishtank hose first then slide onto the fibreglass pole, wrap a few turns of electrical tape at the bottom of the pole to stop it falling off. when in in sort ground the bottom of the net slides up. just have to slide them back down when packing away, thats where the tape at the bottom come in.

    i was covered with county cover last year but it was just that, cover. this year i went with SACS as i liked the idea of being insured for other thing and not just shooting, my dog is cover is he causes damage while out working. i also have back up if i need a good person to fight in my corner when the FLO will not let me have 400 acres cleared for a 222. i will stick with SACS for now as im very happy with what they have done for me.

    i was hoping to go with something like the A-Max as i can get then posted to me but untl i t some im not going to bulk buy any. I did try some 40gr a little while ago and just couldnt get on with them, i think, if the grey matter remembers rightly, they were hornady, in a red box. any empty cases that are going beggin would be good as well. jamie... are those head the A-max ones that are in and unmarked box by any chance thanks for the link Clint. one thing, in the chart, when i click on the 222 rem it comes up with .224. is this right? Rio... thanks for the input. s

    Im just trying to get into home loads as im fed up of paying silly money for ammo, going out and re-zeroing to find either the tikka doesn't like the round or i go back to shop to find they have run out and saying they cant get any more for a month or so. because of this i have been advised to start a basic home load and once i get it right i can go and buy the press and other things needed. until then i have a lee loader but i need to find a bullet that will work with the Tikka. i dont want to buy 100 bullets to find that the rifle dosnt like them and i have to go buy another 100 to t
