  1. when the wife bends over and I get the kids to yell "Cobwebs!"
  2. Had a day off today and took the hmr out for some zero checking and paper punching at different ranges. It was nice to actually put some rounds thru it, something i've not had much chance to do for a long while. After 60 rounds, I was getting some half decent groups from 50 to 150 yards (well pretty ragged at 150 yards - more practise needed!) cloverleaf to 5p coin size which I was pleased with. If I didn't focus properly on my technique, the groups opened right up. The scope on my hmr is a cheapie JSR 4-16 x 50. Its done OK, but I feel its time to upgrade to something a bit more decent.
  3. I miss my stalker - hasn't checked in on me today :(

  4. I think the grey you refer to is probably blue.....however its not a colour associated with the apbt more a showbred amstaff type thing....you say you was around the breed 20 years ago and there wasnt any blues around then certainly not from performance stock. Anyway i feel i should probably apologise,you sound a good responsible dog owner and im sure you would do just fine with one id certainly rather someone like yourself own one than the the paki/street hoodlum type that seem to have got their hands on them lately. My problem is i still see the breed in all its old glory when the reality
  5. Im sure they do......but if they could talk they would tell you they would rather be running round a race track than sitting eating sweets on the sofa........dogs dont choose their owners........but hey i forgot....its what WE want that counts eh. IMHO, anyone who allows their dogs on the sofa or lets them eat sweets is doing their dogs no favours, pets or otherwise.
  6. Well the fact you are basing your selection of the worlds greatest canine athlete on the colour of its fur........suggests to me you are not an ideal candidate for such a fine animal.....after all dogs dont choose their owners. So I'm not supposed to have a colour preference? No i have never been a fan of apbt,s being kept in family pet homes......i accept some folk do just like i accept some folk keep racing greyhounds in family pet homes.....i dont think thats ideal either........im not talking about working dogs im talking about sporting dogs.....the apbt was never bred as a working dog it

  8. 'peter piper picked a pilecki of pickled peppers! Its Peter from the old P of W isn't it ? Friend of Mick's (Wabbitbosher), Kettering.
  9. Yes plenty here now 4 weeks ago very little the old man and me have shot 1000 birds on rape in them 4 weeks more than the entire november till febuary . How tricks your way ATB Cookie Pigeons are few n far between (so if you need an extra gun I wouldn't say no ), but it looks like the bunny populations are recovering so its not all bad news. Pup should be ready for a few runs on easy bunnies before the years out so can't complain really. Haven't shot any clays since shortly after we last did that clayflush. Golden day that was You still got that bargain Fireblade? The bl
  10. Lovely looking brindle! I am a sucker for brindles. Cracking breed mix too
  11. There's a couple of lookers I've seen on here, but the beauties we have on THL are largely too modest to show pics of themselves.
  12. Like the pic of your pack in the woods - you look as dog mad as me lol! Cracking
  13. Never use a bipod for anything at air rifle ranges, not worth it IMHO. Use one on my hmr if I'm expecting to shoot over 100 yards though.
  14. Good to see, you must have been quick to get the runners paul! Makes me feel peckish though lol!
  15. Youngest lad, prattling on, and on, and on. It's like his gob is a loud speaker for his mind... Mind you, his mother isn't far behind!
  16. So great when it happens! Had similar last summer, mopping upsome myxi'd rabbits, Chris and I put a pellet thru the same bunny's cranium from different sides of the same hedge. We had line of sight of each other, so knew it was safe. Awesome! The pellets criss-crossed thru its brain box.

  18. :laugh: thats one ugly fecker looks like Ronaldinho's sister
  19. Curious as to what you think you know about me that says I shouldn't have a pbt? Ive raised and trained bull breeds from the age of 14 and never had a problem, nothing but good results in fact. So if I'm going to use it for hog hunting, would that be ok with you? But I'd be ruining the breed if I only have one as an active family pet in a well adjusted highly experienced home? I think some justification for your comments is merited. Furthermore, are you saying that any breed originally bred to work should never be had simply as a companion active or otherwise?
