  6. Association Of Working Lurcher/longdogs ( Awl )

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    Thanks Flynn, Desert bred, Trenchfoot and Peterhunter, etc. When you have an old car, and first the clutch goes, then the handbrake cable needs renewing, it's not starting when it's cold and you doubt that it will pass it's MOT, you know it is time to take it to the scrap yard and get something newer. Well that is sort of where I am at,, the scrapyard beckons. But it will not be for a while yet. A push start will still get me going!. I just hope that many of the new generation of working dog owners will have as just long a coursing career as I have had (I had my first Lurcher in 1961) and will meet as many great coursing men/women and dogs as I have. Having said that you must ALL fight for your sport. you must follow the example of Flynn and members of the AWL. Through the AWL you all have a voice on the Council of Hunting Associations, which leads the way in the fight,(WHICH IS NOT YET LOST) if we are not in the loop we will be discounted.

    Keep up the fight

    Besr regards

    Alan.

  10. Walshies Hornet?

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    I had to wait for nearly a year to get mine. When first ordered I was told two months, after two months I was told another two months, after that I was told that they (Edger Bros) could not give a date. On repeated enquiries I was told that CZ would/could not supply until they had a order of 100 units!!. Edger Bros had placed an order of, I think 9 units but they did not know if this order was the first of the 100 needed or that they had nearly made it to the 100. So, it could be a few more weeks or another 6 months. I too was offered a Ruger, but I wanted a CZ.

    I then saw one on Guntrader brand new from a gunsmiths down south at £100.00 over list price. I bought it. It went against the grain to pay over the odds, but "Needs must, when the devil drives" Moral being: keep trying and do not accept anything other than what you want.

     

    The CZ .22 Hornet ? Best rifle i have ever owned.

  16. Sako Finnfire P94S

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    I have just bought a Sako Finnfire P94s varmint in almost mint condition. I know that it was kept in a gun safe for ten years due to the previous owner being unwell, hence the mint condition. I have two questions: 1/ When did Sako cease Making the Finnfire P94s and how do you establish how old the rifle is? 2/ In the past I have shortened the Barrel of my CZ 542 with no effect on how accurate it was. Can I do the same with a Finnfire, with it being a heavy barrel? I love the rifle and if it is best not to touch I will leave it well alone. It is shooting 1/4-1/2 inch groups at fifty metres with Eley Club and I don't want to mess with it if I can cause any problems. Advice please.

  17. New Lurcher Association On Facebook ,

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    In reply to king,

    1/ Setting up a website and a facebook page enables the AWL to keep members informed regarding the current situation of the repeal of the hunting ban, it also helps members keep up to date with the situation regarding the AWL, it is of interest to members and non members with articles, photos, information regarding Lurcher/Longdog breeding etc, it contains stories provided by members. To say that one website is pointless is to say all websites are pointless. If you are a loner, then I respect that, just as you will no doubt respect the fact that many people enjoy reading Lurcher work articles etc. The Hunting Life is a web site, a great web site, are you saying that it is pointless? It too has to have a income to survive. We do not advertise. our income comes from membership. Many people do not wish to poach or go on land without the permission of the land owner, ( I am not saying that you do) they wish to work their dog in a legal manner. To help these people, both by advice and by helping to repeal the hunting ban and at the same time to entertain them and allowing them to have say, this is the reason for the AWL.

     

    2/ What do I hope to achieve?

    All of the above.

     

    3/ Do I honestly expect folk to use their real names?

    No I don't! there is a very good reason for user names as you so rightly say. I use one myself. The reason I use my own name (in this instance) is because I stand by what I say and put my name to it, On many other web sites i use my user name. As regards your remark regarding dodgy folk, I agree with what you say. I am in the position of only having one dog, which, like me, has seen better days. It is just happy to sleep in front of the fire.

     

    4/

    Yes people should do just what they want and the success of the start of the AWL proves that many people will do just that and join the AWL

     

    Regards

    Wonderful words Jane!

    For over twenty years now those that wish to fight for the working dog man/woman have had to fight not only the anti field sports crew but also to fight those who should be on our side, but for reasons of their own can only call from the sidelines. People who cannot use their own name but hide under various usernames. The A.W.L. and before that the A.L.C. stands for the ordinary working dog man/woman. you are the people that matter. Picking holes in photos and text that they do not understand and expecting us to be PC in case we put a foot wrong is playing into the hands of the antis. Our detractors are doing the job for the them. Yes, we are aware that the antis will jump on any mistake we make (not unlike our detractors) yes we must be careful not to publish anything that could be seen as illegal, but we must stand and be counted. we are proud of our country sports and if we don't fight for them who will?

     

    If they wish to support the fight for a repeal, fight the antis, not the very organisation that supports the working dog man/woman.

  20. Further Update On New Lurcher Association

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    The A.W.L. exist to promote ALL work with crossbred and purebred sight. We are your voice, and as such we invite ALL individuals and clubs to join us to fight for (In the first instance, for a repeal of the hunting ban) the working Lurcher/Longdog at the highest level. We must work with Landowners, Farmers, Government bodies and the public at large to show that we are a well organised governing body that has, in the first instance, the future of the working Lurcher/Longdog in all it's forms at heart and that we also support all other forms of hunting. We will not stop fighting for a repeal until legal hunting, in all it's forms is returned to legality.

  21. Winchester Or Eley Subs / Cz Owners ?

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    Used Winchester subs (blue box) for years, superb when I started with the new black box, I was amazed at how terrible they were. A five shot group look like I had used a four ten. They would not eject. They were just rubbish. Tried Eley Club and they restored my faith. Easy sub half inch groups at fifty metres in my CZ 455 varmint. Winchester has lost another customer.

    Savage Steve, I will send you a e-mail if you are still interested. pity you don't live nearer, I could take you out for a shoot. The twist rate is 1 in 12 to the best of my knowledge. It is in near mint condition. I have had it re-crowned and it has a lovely walnut stock and fore end. I have fired less than 200 shots through and before I got It it had very little use, but suffered from being stood with a moderator attached, hence the re-crown. I had it accuracy tested at Mcavoy's Gunsmiths in Wigan and the Gunsmith (Tim) stated that it was more accurate than he could ever shoot.

  23. The Future Of Working Lurchers.

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Right then. The Alliance for the Working Longdog/Lurcher (AWL).

     

    Pros:

    1/The title Alliance means: "an association of groups with a common aim" Is that not what we are and to become?

    2/The name "Longdog" is an umbrella term that covers any type of sight hound, including, lurchers,whippets, saluki X greyhounds, Greyhounds, Salukis, etc. Is this not who we are to represent?

    Cons:

    1/ Would the title be acceptable to the majority?

    2/ would another title be more to the point, whilst still representing all types of Longdogs, Sighthounds etc?

     

    The Running Dog Alliance, (RDA)

     

    Pros:

    1/ it covers all running dogs.

    2/ the name means what it say.

     

    Cons:

    1/ too broad a title, there are many types of running dogs that have no involvement in hunting, Track Greyhounds, etc

    2/the name "Running dog" would be next to impossible to explain as a term for hunting.

     

    The longdog alliance;

    A none starter, too similar to the Alliance for the working Longdog.

     

    That there may be others I understand, but time is of an essence

     

    After this post i suggest a deadline of twenty four hours for any other suggestions, with full reasoning and merits. We will then get on with forming a steering group, and I will get on with changing all the documentation.

  25. The Future Of Working Lurchers.

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted · Edited by courser

    In reply to maxhardcore, The reason that I feel that the name "Alliance for the working Longdog" is relevant is two fold:

     

    1/ many hunters that use a running dog for coursing use not a Lurcher but a Longdog, ie: a Saluki, a whippet,(think of the many Whippet coursing and racing clubs) a greyhound, a saluki x Greyhound and there are many others. These other running Longdogs also need to be considered and supported. The owners of these other breeds want to fight for a repeal just as you do, so they too can continue with their sport. Do we discount them? The name Longdog has been used for many centuries to denote a hound that hunts by sight. the name longdog has a proud history and in my opinion makes an acceptable title that all coursing and hunting mem/women can relate to. A Lurcher is also a longdog but many longdogs are not Lurchers.

     

    2/ One of the main problems that I found was when I spoke the word Lurcher, was that I was met with resentment from some of the fieldsport community. Many would say that the lurcher is a poachers dog. We know that is not always the case, but why make a rod for our own backs. We are proud of our working dogs,be they Lurchers, Whippets, or any of the other sighthounds and the owners of all must come together.

     

    Having said that it up to you all to decide the name but do it ASAP.. Calling our organisation the Alliance of Working Lurchers would in my opinion be wrong and unfair to other users of coursing breeds, who only want to be counted in the fight for repeal. We don't all have Lurchers but we all have Longdogs.
