  5. I managed to get a decent finish at work today, so after driving back to the North East from Ipswich and although the wife isnt too happy I too my 2 daughters shooting for the first time! They cant quite grasp the position and hold of the rifle properly yet but we'll get there. zeroed at 30M at my target area we had a bit of plinking fun..... My youngest went first with what I think are decent results for an 8yr old girls first time and such an unorthodox but apparently "comfortable" way of holding a rifle then was the turn of my 10yr old......quite a natural when she

  9. It really works doesnt it mate.....so how come Shannon goes out???....lol Here's one for her to get her head round mate..... The Crosman Raven
  10. Just spoken to him on the phone......well....looks as though the scopes are cattle trucked! Initially lost lateral adjustment but he said he lost vertical too then the scope lens cracked..... Not good! Luckily I gave him my Richter Optiks at a bargain family price so he isnt out the game altogether! Darryl
  11. Good going mate....good to have you back posting again too Darryl
  12. A late start saw us off to our Cumbria permission at 0030hrs arriving at 0120hrs. After the hassle wor kid had with his scopes he managed to get them zeroed in his garden to 10M before we went so some adjustment to the desired 30M was in order. Unfortunately wor kid is still having the same problem whereas at full right windage he's still hitting 5 mildots to the left. So after shimming and reshimming neither of us could get it right, so it's either the scopes at fault or the mounts! Anyway, wor kid said "Get yourself away for a mooch and I'll see if I can do owt more with these".
  13. Thats my point mate! Us sensible owners have to face the aftermath due to those irresponsible owners! Darryl

  15. Top shooting mate! some good size ones there and they look very clean Darryl
  16. But mother and infant arent doing too well......mainly due to an AAF headache! Popped out tonight for an hour to my local permission, still well overrun with thistles so moving around wasnt exactly quiet! I wasnt 20 yards into the field, flicked the lamp and saw 2 bright rubys sitting side by side at an estimated 45-50M, an adult and juvenile. Dimming the lamp so I could just see the glimmer I attempted to stalk closer, hopefully to within zero distance but it wasnt to be.....I think I made it 5 or 6M when the adult one stood right up as though it knew I was there.... Slowly down to t
  17. Cheers Rob! Just goes to show Adi is a top bloke..... It had both our heads done in and I felt a right pain in the arse(more than normal!!-before anyone says it!!)having kept phoning him. But now it's sorted it's devastatingly accurate! He'll still get full recommendation from me! Darryl
  18. now we found the problem and solved it mate I'm loving it.... Sadly as much as I was itching to get out last night the weather stopped our escapades but roll on next weekend!! Darryl
  19. cheers lads.... It feels damned good to be back out amongst it now. We were supposed to be going out again tonight but the winds have picked up really bad round here. Tony, wor kid was fine with not shooting he knows I'd do it for him should he ever need it mate Darryl
  20. How do sports fans!!! well after getting my rifle back from A & M again after a barrel problem (which was expertly sorted by the way!!)wor kid rang and asked if we were going out..... Well, what could I say....."Of course"...."Great pick you up at 10! he said! I decided to change to Air Arms Field with the new barrel instead of my usual defiants just to give them a try basically.Using the first mag to check zero every was back to being hunky dory and me back on form with a 15mm 5 shot group. Then the snag....wor kids stirrup pump knackered and my dive bottle just about empt
