  1. I'm sorry but I think you need to change your profile name. Asking silly little questions like that. First of all do you have any firearms? if yes Then you must have done your compactly training. Then you will know that a 22lr is not suitable for foxes. You need to go to the Garda web site and have a look at the commissioners guide lines on what firearm would be suitable for what purpose.

  2. was out zeroing my howa .223 after fitting new mounts and was extreamly surprised by how much the wind affected the 55g bullet

    compared to calmer days.

     

    the wind was 12mph gusting up to 20mph on my gauge and the bullet drift was 10"

    i have previously shot out to 450 yards on calmer days hitting a fox shaped target.

     

    is there any data i could use to help with wild drift?

    You can download the Strelok app to your phone it free. You just put in all the data and it will calculate it for you. I was out last night in the wind and managed to bust 2 both in the same field 100 yds apart lol.

  3. Just sent of for my fac and sgc don't think I'll av much chance with my history but you never no got two firearms offences on it but from years ago and all be it for poaching also got a asulting a police officer on it witch was the other Way round but again in the past never been in prison so just av to see what they say again all a long time ago seems to me they shouldn't be able to hold it against you for ever end of the day you have paid the price for it once

    Good luck..............hope it all goes well for ya.
  4. For a long time now When i'm removing the tails of shot foxes i leave the tail bone still attached to charlie. I'm now looking for a good way to preserve the tails. I've tried salt but it didn't work for me. I was told ages ago about Borex but can't find it in any of the chemists I go to, most of them no longer have it on their system. I was thinking of using methylated spirit but was told by the Chemist that this probably won't work. Any ideas lads?

  5. Hi lads,

    Not sure if this is the right place for this so apologies in advance if its not.I have a Baikal O/U and was out for a shot on Saturday morning. A big cock flew up in front of me.I missed him with the 1st barrel and when I pulled the 2nd trigger nothing happened. I blamed a damp cartridge. On Monday morning I went down to feed a pond and the wife came with me.She was mad to fire a shot so I let her. She fired the 1st shot and pulled the 2nd trigger and again nothing happened. I looked across and coped that the safety had gone back on.

     

    Any idea what could be causing this and how would I sort it?

    There's a chap in Carrick on suir that would give it a good service for you but you'd have to travel to him. If you want his number I could get it for you. PM if you want it.
