    To our Mod's Would it be possible to contact BSAC and ask their permission to display this information as a pinned topic here on THL. http://www.basc.org.uk/en/codes-of-practice/air-rifles.cfm It would serve them well with possible new memberships, and help THL along with BSAC to promote Safe Shooting and Gun Handling for the new shooter. Also a good refernce for us all, young or old, new or experienced. Just a thought. ATB. Bill.

    Hiya Matt. Understood mate, and a good point You would hope however that any youngsters entering into the sport, would benifit from the experience and teaching of a more established shooter, not always the case I know. With most thing's sold these day's there are precise and written instructions on correct usage, also do's and dont's.( Not always taken on board and heeded ) Food for thought here though Matt, a set of safe shooting and gun handling instructions issued with any rifle sold, just a print out, but advise all the same and offered to every purchaser. A sad fact to,

    Hiya Si. Sounds like a bit of fun mate, good idea Sub 12, but is there any calibre preset? Indoor or out.....both? Off Bipod, or bench rested, or both? Blindfold's on or off ATB. Bill.

    Hi David. A Dive store will fill your cylender for you, as long as it is in test. If it isnt, they wont touch it. Bill.
  16. Sweeney-Todd
    Hiya Gary. Right on mate propper job :crazy:
  17. Sweeney-Todd
    Hiya Si. Your absolutly right mate, the ballistics do not compare, but the principles still apply, no matter what the calibre. Indeed if Ryan wants to prove his ability as a marksman, he could film the shot with a witness. I just think it is sad that he should have to do that. I also respect that everyone on THL like to protect the forum from braggards, who do not have a clue. But I think fair play and repect should be shown, if proved different, then the person concerned will meet with the feed back from the other members here. I did not intend to upset the apple cart wit

    Hi Si. Impressive stuff mate, and no more than we would expect from you. Read his post again mate, he knew the ground behind the shot path, it is also his ground/permission. You say you have taken shot's to 63yds with your sub 12ftlb, but would not do it on a regular basiss because your shooting isnt up to it. Well has Ryan not done the very same, just a greater distance and with an FAC rifle? Bill.

    Hiya Shay. Looking good mate, nice photography too Bill.

    Hiya Matt. Shooting over sloping/flat ground or into a bank, you can never say with any high degree that you will not get a ricochet. I have shot literely 1000s of rounds into range butts ( Sand ), and had them fly away into the distance 7.62mm 9mm and even a HESH round from a 84mm Tank buster on an open range. We shoot in fields, mostly flat I would think, we are always open to the unforseen, no matter how carfull or who we are. Any hunter worth his salt will know his ground, and what lay's around and beyond it, and would hopefully asses the risks himself. Bill.

    Hiya Gary. I dont know what has been said on other forums mate. I just commented on his post made here. It just seemed to me he was getting hammered from all sides, with most people supposing this shot could not be made, or should not. Was anyone stood at the side of this guy when he took the shot, did anyone see the backdrop/overshoot. I just felt the guy didnt have a chance, and some comments were made too early, and unfairly. Bill.
  22. Sweeney-Todd
    Hiya Matt. Your going back over old ground mate. I think most hunters realise the effects of the shot they take, and the consequences. So are YOU absolutly SURE that a shot YOU take at a bird/rabbit on the ground with a .22LR will not ricochete over your back stop if you miss?? If you are, your VERY confident or shoot in a quarry. Bill.
  23. Sweeney-Todd
    You have the hearts and generosity of a saint Si and Laura. That is such a cool thing to do. Just hope he shoot's it better than he does the AA s200 ( Just kidding big 'un ) Friends.......you gotta love them. Bill.
  24. Sweeney-Todd
    Hiya Si. Best get writing and sending that invite mate ......by the way......did you manage to catch that pellet the Hippo sized Rat headed back to you Bill.
  25. Sweeney-Todd
    Hi Ryan. Nice to see you here mate. I guessed from the impact pictures of the shots that you were shooting FAC ( Hence my comment.....hitting with some vigour ) Your shot placment was clearly good too. When you think some of us push the boundries when shooting sub 12ftlb @ 60yds. Your shot using FAC 18 to 24ftlbs? puts things into perspective. I would think that you would take quarry all day long at 60/70yds no problem. Dont take too much to heart here, because all the guys are sound people, we just get it wrong sometimes......but then we are human after all. I would ho
