    In that case I think I will just go elsewhere, thanks for the help

    Theres a piece of local grassland which is used seasonally for livestock (sheep), however they use some type of weedkiller (they seem to target the nettles at the corner of the field), and possibly also something to boost the grass growth. However, this field is literally littered with elder trees, and for such a small area it would be great to harvest the elderflower and later the elderberries, but I'm somewhat concerned that the stuff they use on the field may be poisonous or just generally bad for you.. does anyone know what it may be that they use on such land and if its poisonous?

    I agree fully with Davy; the guy sounds like he just went and bought a gun and some snares with absolutely no knowledge of the laws relevant,so I would suggest you take up the offer of getting the permission, then try and educate him and if he continues to be tit then go to the landowner, explain the laws he is breaking and make it clear that the they (the landowner) is also liable. Then recommend that s/he should quietly revoke his permission for obvious reasons, and offer to take up the job of pest control yourself.

    I understand entirely, but I don't shoot .177 and theres a lot of popular pellets in .177, but any suggestions on pellets to get rid of would be great. And yes, I would much prefer to sell less pellets for a lower price, but the .22 ones didn't really sell (although I suppose they were a bit expensive) and yet pellpax's 38 types selection do sell. And regarding the targets, 20 of those targets is only 70p, but I see your point. So would you prefer - or at least feel it is better- : Air Arms Field .177 4.52 Bisley Magnum .177 Bisley Long Range Gold .177 Falcon Accuracy Plus .17

    I have written up the .177 pellet selection as requested and it is as follows: the selection will include 20 different popular and reputable types of pellet, with 25 of each sort. However this time I am going to include targets with it: - Air Arms Field .177 4.51 - Air Arms Field .177 4.52 - Bisley Super Field .177 - Bisley Magnum .177 - Bisley Long Range Gold .177 - Crosman Ultra Magnum .177 - Daystate Field Target .177 4.51 - Daystate Field Target .177 4.52 - Daystate Field Target Heavyweight - Falcon Accuracy Plus .177 4.52 - H&N Field and Target Trophy .177 - H&N Sil

    I've forgotten what spray they use at my local club, but its the type that has plastic in it as it doesnt seem to flake and seems to last well, but every time you hit it it does leave a pellet sized lead coloured mark lol. I'm thinking plasti-kote, but I'm not sure.

    Ohhh, oops sorry guys, I had assumed they were one and the same. Thank you for correcting me

    Fishfish's Hunter Catapults. Is this what you meant?

    But anyway, yeah I would say you should go for it, you might be able to keep your permission and even if he says no so what? You've got nothing to lose.

    Might I suggest a few things: 1. A sling 2. Make/get a skeleton stock. 3. Increase your muscles. Okay, three may seem a little harsh but it will be useful for a lot, all you need to get is a couple of weights and some time on a regular basis, it will help but whether it would be worth the time and effort is disputable.

    The way I would handle it is go round, see the parents, explain to them the laws (print off a piece of paper with all the laws if you don't know them off by heart, in which case the BASC site will be helpful) and recommend that they either enlighten their children or confiscate their air rifles or something. However, I suppose that paarents who raise such kids are unlikely to listen, so when you do end up having to call the police they'll know who it probably was. You could just put a letter through their letterbox, but that'll probably do nothing.

    No I don't believe they are.

    Thanks again Aaron, I have looked into the AA Fields/FX pellets and it turns out you are 100% correct, and as a result I have replaced them with H&N Silhouettes which I've heard a lot of praise about.
  15. othickman
    Details sent. Thanks
  16. othickman
    Thanks Andy, hopefully it will work out Thanks Aaron, and yeah I've heard they are the same, but also apparently the JSB pellets are the same as the Air Arms ones too, also thanks for the suggestions, I still have time to change the order so any feedback is very welcome. Will do. If all goes to plan I'll be selling .177 in a couple of weeks once the first batch of .22 goes. Not at all Neil! This sort of kindness is what I love about the shooting community! Good man

    Using ten of the highest regarded domed pellets, we are offering you a cheaper, more practical and more reliable alternative to simply buying out of recommendation; often air rifles and pistols can be very ‘pellet fussy’, with some pellets achieving far superior results than others, and even the same pellet can produce drastically different consistencies in different rifles of the same sort, therefore we have decided to offer a selection of what are considered the best pellets currently available. With 25 pellets of each sort, you can confirm which pellet performs best in your rifle; something

    'World's biggest' forest protection deal for Canada Timber companies and environment groups have unveiled an agreement aimed at protecting two-thirds of Canada's vast forests from unsustainable logging. Over 72 million hectares are included in what will become the world's largest commercial forest conservation deal. Logging will be totally banned on some of the land, in the hope of sustaining endangered caribou populations. Timber companies hope the deal will bring commercial gains, as timber buyers seek higher ethical standards. The total protected area is about twice the

    And become even weaker, more pathetic and more liberal?

    I'm pretty sure it is normal at least to a degree; as you are dramatically increasing the pressure inside the cylinder it will naturally heat up for a short period, however, just how hot does it become?

    Have a browse of the airgun section; you'll find a lot of useful information if you use the search

    I consider the use of a firearm a last resort -- If a man is conducting himself properly and is well trained than a pistol is a last resort solution to most situations. On that note why "show your ace in the hole". Open carry makes a target for criminals who might try to take the openly carried pistol.... Concealed carry is what intimidates criminals - You never know who's got a pistol and that is why they think twice... Anti gun folks would start conflicts with people who are carrying weapons in the open.....Just to have the police disarm someone for the sake making a point...... Recently

    Oh, and Aaron Ali G is a fictional, comedic character; nothing anyone aspires to as the character is more taking the piss out of that sort of culture than promoting it..

    I fully understand why the Americans like to be allowed to have guns, I understand why they like to carry them with them, what I don't understand is why the general public want to be able to carry concealed weapons?! Surely, from the point of view of someone who isn't planning on using it, it is a better idea to carry their gun on a hip holster; that way anyone who might consider pulling any shit when they're nearby won't... I personally would hate for the general public to be able to do that in my country, but I see the pros of carrying a gun. BUT to carry it concealed does NOT act as a deter
