    Just curious as to who shoots air riles over / with a dog. What breed and how do they perform, I have tried to shoot with my brothers Spaniel over and over again and it's a bit of a nightmare when you are stalking / crawling. (He's great on a beat or game shoot, I think I might be expecting too much) Cheers, Belly

    After mucho testing I have settled on Accupell (nice and heavy) for my HW57 (.22) and JSB Exact for my HW100(1.77)...1.77 Accupel also take some beating

    You missed out the best one of all ...how could you The one and only :notworthy: HW100 :notworthy: :notworthy:

    Thanks Swampy, I will drop Garypo a line. One last question... Is you missus at home all day with the dog ? Thanks again, Belly

    Cheers Swampy, That's just the sort of info I am after. He's an absolute beauty for sure. One of my main concerns is the point made on a lot of web sites (granted, these seem to be show / breeder sites) that they can be destructive in the house. I assume this is because they have become bored ? ( like any dog without enough exercise) What sort of exercise does he get on a non working day and have you got him on the whistle ? Apologies for the questions but info on working HV's seems hard to come by. Belly

    Quick change of underwear required :icon_redface:

    Got to be a head shot mate, drops them where they stand, more humane and prevents them flying off and dying somewhere else ( less attention from neighbours if you know what I mean ) Just make sure you have a back stop.

    Thanks for the reply H. This is definatly something I am not going to rush into, I am also not looking at this breed for its looks. HPR in general is something that I would find more beneficial with air rifle shooting as opposed to a cocker or springer, the ones I have spent time with (including my brothers which I take beating) do not seem to have the temprement for stalking (i'm sure I will be corrected !) Out of all the HPR breeds the Vizsla seems to be the smallest and "most" suitable. As already mentioned, I am researching as much as possible, including going out with a friend o

    Used to catch a few at the Basin (Granary Wharf) in Leeds using a little plug. Nothing huge, just upto around the 6-7Lb mark. You can also drop your line into the Aire which runs at the side if things are a little quiet.

    I'm after a bit / lot of advice on the Hungarian Vizsla breed. I am looking at bringing a dog into the family after Xmas and want to make sure that our lifestyle is suitable for this breed. I have been looking at lurchers over the past twelve months and have done a great deal of research, a Bedlington X Greyhound was top of the list until I saw a Vizsla. I work from home apart from two days of the week, my wife doesn't work and we have a three year old. We have a medium size garden and live right next to a huge park in Solihull. I beat on our local shoot throughout the season and I have

    I use a HW57 under lever. Great bit of kit (if a little heavy). Into its eleventh year of service and still hitting the mark at 40 yards. Don't tend to see alot of them about (which makes me feel special ) Well worth a look, if you are able to get to the midlands give me a shout and have a tester Belly

    I've had a few strolls around my new permission and i'm starting to learn a few "traits"..... where the rabbits are feeding at certain times of the day (see below ), where the squizzers hang out and the flight lines for the woodies. Had a couple of hours free this evening so tucked the HW100 into the boot, filled the flask and headed off. I'm really enjoying these dark evenings, totally different to a couple of months ago..the fields come alive at about 4.00 as the sun gets low. Could just do with some heavy frosts to get rid of the nettles and thistles Sat under a big old Oak for a

    White Bread is a no no (angel wing). Just keep your eye on it and notify the local rescue cent. Belly

    Nice write up chaps, looks like a good nights shooting and a laugh at the same time. :clapper:

    Thanks for the replies gents. I know how to zero my scopes normally but perhaps i didn't explain the question to well. I'll try again........ If my scope is zero'd in on the bull at 10 yards and i'm putting pellets through pellet holes how many centimeters off the bull would I have to be for the pellet to hit bullseye at thirty yards ? e.g. where on the target do I have to hit at 10 yards to be on the bull at 30) This is far too complicated to explain !!!! :icon_eek: I'll get off my arse and measure out 30 yards. Thanks, Belly.

    Just curious if there is an easy way to zero in my scope at home..... Ive got a permission but I can't be arsed to drive out. This got me thinking.... If i zero in at 10 yards is there a formula / calculation that will enable me to either zero in at a certain distance from the bull that will have the desired pellet drop to make an accurate 30 yard shot ? Maybe i'm just being lazy ?

    As Stealthy says...."There can be only one" Carlsberg don't make guns....but if they did HW100

    Got myself a Deerhunter RAM jacket (available in Realtree OR Green)off ebay for £70. Got to say it's the dogs.....already been out in a downpour and not a drop seeped through. It's light, waterproof and silent, great for shooting. Not sure i'd trust it for beating or heading through brambles but I guess that's what my Barbour is for eh?

    Picture I took last October...these guys seem to be getting fewer and fewer.
