good point on the 40 shots, ratting with a .22 falcon i had the same problem... two fills as a standard three on a bizzy night. a three littre bottles handy for filling, but to be honest the couple minutes it takes to fill is a lot easier theaan pulling th barrel every shot. i dare say i'd get used to again the second i had to use a springer. try a rapid, i can get 450 shots out of a .177, but its regged and tuned to a pellet... i shoot to about 300 max so it doesnt take as much to refill each time, only had to fill a few times, but i was camped out, or the squirels were out in forse for a

think its where the exspresion 'cracking a shot off' comes from lol.

does get in the blood dunt it...

it goes like this.....wack..oh f**k too far...hehehe feathers everywhere then it flies off. or, at about 60 yards stuff starts kicking a bit more than usual, you leg it over and theyre definatly dead on impact , just the less power makes a slower kick out time...67/68..pushing it, 72-74 yards they one leggy crawl about, dead again but a lotta polava.. depends on your gun, mines giving a wicked BC on a heavy pellet... 68 yards is a pushing it for me, statistics say 4 foot pound minimum, but i'd say 5-51/2 based on exsperience and balistic maths... the 55 mark is cool though, if you

try country side aliance..they do monthlies, or third party for unimployed etc if you ring, but, they are a 10 mil coverage, is BASA still only 5? or was that BASC?.. eather way its taking more than 5 mill to sort a claim nowadays aparently, dont know from exsperience like, but private firms need a ten mil cover to allow you to shoot..again that bits only second hand info.

50 yards with any springer aint no suprise ....used to hit the previous pellets in the mud with an ...that was a zero check. would love to see that dont forget to mention that was with your eyes shut matey neh when i could see propa lol...also i was out 24/7...makes a wee diference. tisnt how far you can hit...its how far will it kill. seen a guy do it recently in a wind...one hole group with an HW80. 50 yards measured with a tape. i had a group like...just wasnt so conected lol.

reply to the chinese cheepop's...the 20-30 quid ones? shudders, i was on a daystate harrier x and was handed this ermm... well, hmm, how can i put it? it wasnt a two stage trigger, more a three stage bangy thing hahahaa it was fecin awful! had to grip the trigger, not squeeze it like, but snatch a good grip where it want bang! then the spring took off off with a bang then the final bang as the pellet took off....freigtened me death! heheheh.. blackpool style chinese stuff....basic but work for the price od a second hand cheap scope lol. 50 yards with any springer aint no s

depends how you look at it, some where theres kids and adults wonging bricks with string saying 'do you think the new plastic pouch's are as accurate''... years back muskets were hiting doves in flight, before that bows n crossbows, so, depends how you see it. springers are more consistant shot to shot, noisier, and one shot. bit of a bitch setting the power up though, they chew scopes up worse than a rimmy centafire etc..and silencing them usualy means a comprise on power. pcp.. multi shot, easily power set, bugger all recoil, very quiet so if you have tinitous, ME or anything

grabbed one of the doggy browned images, you've left the file info on them. not bad images for 1600 iso. white balance was on auto...hmmm, mrans try the other whitebalance one by one, or click through them on your soft ware to srr ehich is best, but if non come up right its set on a grey card with the custom white balance..not famalular with nikons though. 1/3 of a second on 70mm was way adventurous, good shooting there lol (good holding, or got the dogs to sit nicely lol).
-
it adjusts things for lighting, cloudy, sunlight, tunfston etc etc, the auto usualy selects the right one. a few of the picture programs have a drop down box so you can change them after th pictures been taken, some good some not so good at it. a lot of bulbs just dont put out the right wave legnths for the sencer's range so even though its blaring out its dark in the image, i have two 500 watt work lights, theyre similar to the securety lights, ok theyre a sourse but on the camera theyre not so hot.. energy saving bulbs are really crapp and give off a sicky pale apearence, just not good

not bad.. (white balance in settings)

gen 1 stuff you'll need IR lighting for them, most of the figi stuff needs IR too because theyre literaly low lux black and white camera's. the IR stuff can leed into hundreds of pounds but ebay sorts that with IR CREE tourch's..15-20 quid they good to about 100 yards veiwing eyes or through the scope. the older the gen1 model the more fun you'll have like wandering black noise in veiw, lol....ocationaly takes your ballance at first on goggles. electrostatic protection stops it. the old stuff is also had a polarity thing going on, faceing one direction on a compas can sometimes shift

I use a led lenser, cree led one (looks like a little yellow square on a circuit bord, not a bulb) head torch, well worth the monry. zooms in and out and has a dimmer switch, i use it on very low for getting about bur more often than not i end up shooting with it to the 40-50 yard mark no problems...(can use up to -100 whatever), and yup always ends up slightly of center on my head as i get bored the others shooting everything lol.(or no need to switch the 200 luminum one on the scope). keep your eye on ebay for CREE tirch's, a few pages later you'll find them, but for the price (10-15 a

i think if its anything biznes like, or council etc theres an insurence issue, 5 mill public liability isnt enough so you need a ten mill polocy before they'll even concider anything, the laws you have to know...they wont exspect to be telling you sort of thing.

wheres theres a sewer pipe theres a rat... theres a couple types of drains in your gardens, ones sewer pipes for the loo and turger is drainage, the drainage ones are the ones usualy running accross the front and go into the grids in the straight, break one of them and see how long it is till rats apear. next is they really good swimmers, some take to swimming around the used pipes looking for a loo no less, late at night you may hear a bullullulloop noise in the bathromm, thats a rat popping up for a look. the problem here is first they go have a look round, in yu food in the kids

edit in...missed abit, if your looking for a presure switch 'mount' then anything from gaffer tape to chewing gum will do it, even little fancy sticky pads that you perminently glue onto your real tree paint job...like a velcro kit that will eventualy peel off leaving a luverly sticky glue patch... or just use a blob of blue tac, seriously...comes of clean and goes back on again for weeks on end without marking the gun up. (shapes up just the way you want it too......................)
-
idealy you'll want a dimmer switch of some sort with the traditional lamp like a deben tracer etc.. but............thats a big assed set up with sealed lead acid batteries that'll take an over night charge or a 3-4 hours fast charge, but they wont take more thean an amp ish any way... or, any old CREE led torch...ebays a good starter, or for another 30-40 quid upwards you can get better painted aluminium bodies lol. i got a fenix tacticle, 200 luminum/half setting, on the 200 its 200 meters of light, but, theres bugger all IR in the white light so not worth IR filtering for NV of digi
