Had my AA S410 .22 for over 3 years now and taken plenty with it but all i really do now is rabbit shooting so i feel i would benefit more from a .177. Question is do i go for a pcp (probably a new S410 in .177) or do i take a risk and go for a theoben evolution with thumbhole stock? Sounds a daft question..........obviously as a 'tool' the S410 seems the choice not to mention i have used one for the past 3 years and am confident with them, but i really like the look of the evo and love the self contained no running out of air due to the gas ram. I am pretty much decided that i will go wit

suitable calibre for cat control

At the end of the day its up to the person pulling the trigger to judge weather the situation is deemed as 'legal'. -
Just a guess, In theory (as we all know not so simple in reality), you could fire 1 shot at a target at your prefered zero range (for example 100 meters), then by measuring the verticle displacement and the horizontal displacement, make the correction on your scope knowing that 1/4 m.o.a is 1 click which moves the cross hairs buy 1/4 of an inch at 100 meters. So if you were zeroing at 100 meters and your shot was 2inches low and 3 inches to the right, then you would make a correction of 8 clicks up and 12 clicks to the left.

For those of you wanting to feed raw, i recomend 'The Barf Diet' by Ian Billinghurst. Theres alot of info in that book on balancing the diet right and overcoming problems (down to not beeing balanced). Great book, with all you need to know in it

Just out of interest (and appreciating that any dog can get in a scrap, given the right circumstances) would you say in general that they are given to fighting easily? Just wondering, iv'e never had a grey but have been told by peolpe who do, that they are very laid back in their ways. In racing kennels are they usually kept singly or in with others? I would consider taking one on in the fututre and would be interested in your opinions. Cheers. very laid back dogs, aggression rarely shows in them but they can be deamons if they are pushed into a fight. But i also agree that they ca

I try to buy it every week just becuase its the only mag/paper on the shelf that covers all country sports. I personally like it, some good articles particularly by penny taylor and jakie drakeford who both talk sense, but i dont think its quite worth 2 quid. However there is some utter shit in there as well but if nothing else it makes ya laugh. Like every one else i would like to see more pre-ban articles in there as well, theres been a few article on coursing recently but foxing seems a big no-no, why?

thanks

at least this bluddy physics degree course is good for somthing Now then..................Special theory of relativity anyone? Hmm you wouldnt perchance be the same brainy person that is putting some very interesting articles into an up and coming shooting glossy are you. very much doubt it, lol. im only 19 and just finished my first year of uni, today infact, so i wouldnt consider myself quite knowledgeable enough to have the honour of doing somthing like that quite yet. maybe in the future though, ill just have to see where my life takes me, career wise.

I cant really be arsed to start with equations and all that shit but im pretty sure its not a simple case of just dividing the volicity for 12 ft.lbs by 3 to get the velocity at 4 ft.lbs. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x Mass x (Velocity squared), so the energy of the pellet is proportional to the square of the velocity. Therefore to find the velocity at 4 ft.lbs you square the volicity at 12 ft.lbs, divide by 3 and then take the square root, giving you the answer. so for an air rifle in .22 (mass of pellet = 16gr), the average muzzle velocity will be approx 560 ft/s. so velocity at 4 ft.lbs = 560

Dont mean to worry ya LB, but same thing happened down my river several years ago now, i found about 20 dead fish all together, within i spose 10m. Some how some chemical had got into the river and about 5 miles upstream a blokes dog died becuase of it! I havent a clue what it was or what was done about it but your thread reminded me of it straight away. obviously becuase the blokes dog was a lot further upstream it would have got a far higher concentration of the chemical but still worrying. Im sure your doin the right thing by your dogs, so i hope everything turns out well.

i know of pig farmers that have cereal grain all year round for making pig meal (i think), shed loads of it. you could maybe try and find a pig farmer and ask for a bucket full? shouldn't think a bucket full would go amiss. just a thort, good luck

He's a trainer mate. sorry but we are not all mind readers[didnt say hes a trainer] but surley the trainer could rehome throughretired greyhound trust???? Im pretty sure the RGT will only take a small number of dogs off of a trainer per year, for fairness, so alot of trainers try to rehome any they can themselves.

Thats the life molly, grow your own veg and hunt your own meat, well some of it at least. whenever i am home from uni and at the weekends i allways help out with the veg patch, allbeit a relatively small one compared to some folks. Its what i used to do with my grandpa when i was alot younger and it was great eatin the home grown stuff, now im older and i shoot and ferret i can nock up a meal of completely organic produce and it tastes soooo much better. good stuff
