    I never used to bother how much air was in my AA S 410. Then one day I went to use it and it was completely empty. I remembered when I had put it away it was low on air as that was why I had packed up the last time I used it. I tried filling it up, with my syrup pump, but it just wasn't having it. Had to send it to the Gun Dr to be fixed. Now I always make sure it's got enough pressure in it for, say, 10 full power shots before I put it away.

    Trouble with all these units is they eat batteries. 4 x AA's will last you 2 hours and that's if you don't use the I/R. I use a Newton Sports Optics NV 3x42 Night Vision Monocular , paid £60 second hand off Ebay. Got an old Firefly laser I/R on it and the batteries, in both, last ages. You can't film with it or send images to your friends but it will fit in a coat pocket and spot rabbits at 100yrds.

    Any one seen or used these?. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Fly-Catcher-Killer-Fly-Insect-Trap-Device-USB-Cable-UK-With-Trapping-Ja/292629647748?hash=item4422161184%3Am%3AmgbsgkzWYvbXrmbxqbIChuQ&var=591433359881&_sacat=0&_nkw=fly+trap+usb+&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC0.A0.H0.Xfly+trap+usb+.TRS0

    I use Stanley knife blades. Hold them with finger and thumb and the tip of the blade is just right to cut a rabbit open without going too deep. They are razor sharp, 2 ends and cheap.

    Those range finders are spot on!. I set mine up at night on any rifle using my Starlight Archer N/V add on. Once you know it's set to the centre of the cross hairs it good to use in the day time as well as the night. I paid £105 including delivery off of Ebay, I see they're now even cheaper. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LE-032-Laser-Range-Finder-Riflescope-Sight-Rifle-Scope-Rangefinder-Hunting-700M/273191597180?hash=item3f9b7cf47c%3Ag%3ATA0AAOSwCJxaEnoQ&_sacat=0&_nkw=700M+Tactical+Aiming+Laser+Range+Finder+Sight+Rifle+Scope+Camo+For+Hunting+PRO&_from=R40&rt=nc

    I got what they used to call a 'lazy eye' in my right eye. Smack bang in the middle I can't see shit. I'm right handed, do EVERY thing right handed....except shoot. I got a total of 6 guns and they're all left handed apart from my Wincester SX3. I shoot it left handed but it spits out the empties across my right eye, but it's never been a problem. If your right eye is duff just be resided to the fact you'll have to shoot lefty. You'll get used to it in no time. If I hold a gun, of any sort, to my right shoulder it just feels so wrong. I think 'How the hell do people shoot like this???' ?

    Yeah, use them on rats, magpies and jackdows, about 15 yards, that pester my bird table. I like the Eley Fourlong coz I can shoot them from the window without damaging me eardrums ?

    What's the blue cartridge?. I use the Lylvale and Eley and they're both red.

    Use cheap carrots, the real cheap economy type. They are grown with loads of NPK and contain lots of sugars, they smell nice to rabbits. Cut them into long thick battons and not discs. They keep fresher and won't dry out so quick. Had 10 traps in a meadow and was getting 5 or six rabbits a day by baiting them like this.

    Got 2 CZ 452's. One in 22LR and one in HMR. Sanded the stocks just under the barrel to make sure they were floating nice, put trigger kits on both of them and they are both spot on. Why spend money if you don't need to?. I would spend as much as possible on really good scopes, that would make a difference.
  12. PLEDGEY
    I stick it on one of these, a flexible octopus tri-pod, they're cheap and it holds it in any position. Search for them on Ebay.

    I have a Sony HDR CX 240. You can get one for £130 in Argos, and it films in HD. If you put the model and name of the camera into Youtube you can see reviews from people of the camera, this goes for any other camera you might be interested in.

    Got up this morning and the Mrs says she's put some food out for the birds and there's a rat running back and forth taking the food. I get the .410, mine's a Baikal Hushpower single shot, stick a 2 1/2'' sub in and creep out side. I'm stood there in me pants and a pair of Ugg boots, 'bout 15yrds away, when I see the rat run to the food. Soon as it stops, 'FHUUUUT!!', and she's dead. It was a big 'ol female rat and it looked pregnant. Took it across the field and left it for the buzzard. I told one of the farmers that I shoot for that I leave a lot of rats and rabbits etc in the field for the B

    I shoot 2 1/2'' ,number 6 shot Eley subsonics. My ears start to ring at noises others think aren't that loud and I can shoot these with out muffs. You want to be no further than 25yrds with these as they drop off quickly. I also use 2 1/2'' Lyalvale cartridges, get from Mole Valley, in number 6 and 5 shot. These are harder hitting and noticeably louder than the subs, but still quiet in a moderated gun compared to an unmoderated gun. The Eleys are a 12.5g cartridge and the Lyalvales are both 14g. I have used 3'' Eleys in number 6 shot that are 18g as well. They'll give a bigger spread of lead.

    If you have a corvid problem and can't shoot for some reason build a ladder trap. If used correctly they will catch shit loads of birds. You can get instructions on how to build one off of the B.A.S.C. site.

    I use the Napier VP90, spray it on every thing. Keep some VP90 patches in your cabinet or where ever you keep your rifle, keeps moisture out. I don't EVER clean the inside of the barrel, never have. The barrel shoots better with a build up of lead in it.

    That's free food!. Would have got the Mrs to start frying some shallots and butter some bread as I was cutting the breasts off ready to slice up and fry......I loves pigeon!

    Never heard of them so did a Google. Looks like they are from Turkey https://www.iwa.info/en/ausstellerprodukte/iwa18/exhibitor-32961951/kofs-arms Think their translation needs a little work , Scroll down and read the 'about us', made me laugh :-)https://www.kofs.com.tr/en/about Found this review of a Kofs, it ain't a .410 but it is an O/U. Seems pretty good for the money.http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/08/daniel-zimmerman/gun-review-stevens-555-e-overunder-shotgun/

    I had a bad back about 10 years ago. No one could ease the pain. Tried Dr's, physiotherapy, Chiropractors the lot. Then some one gave me the number for a bloke called Gary Toms. On the first meeting he did what no one else had done, he ran his fingers down my spine , stopped and said 'That's it there, right?' and he was spot on. He's like a sports ijury type person, send your friend to some one like him. http://www.drovehouse.co.uk/aboutus.html

    In cannabis there is a chemical called THCA. You have to Ddcarboxylate the cannabis to turn it into THC. This is done by heating the cannabis, too much heat will turn the THC into CBN and CBD. This is not what you want. If you can get hold of some 'weed' you can make your own oil with some propyl alcohol, coffee filters and a rice cooker. Here is the Rick Simpson story. I've shown this to people who think cannabis is a gate way drug and once they see this 'old man' changing lives they become more open minded. Check out Larry. Larry has Parkinson Disease, watch the

    I spray mine with Napier spray, once in a blue moon.....if I'm bored.....or if the wife asks 'am I busy' :-)

    True, that twig is a lot bigger than I thought so the print is bigger than I thought as well. Still think it's a fox though :-).

    I remember when the intelligence and Government said we had to invade Iraq because Osama BinLadin was in there running terrorist training camps, that was B/S. Then they said we had to invade because Sadam had Weapons of Mass Destruction that could destroy us in , I think it was, 40 minutes. After we invaded and it turned out that that was also B/S we were told it was for a 'regime change'. We all know that's B/S as well....it was for oil!. So, yeah, I do think they could have the wool pulled over their eyes.
