  6. Permissions... To Many?

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    How many permissions is enough? Apologies those looking for there first, legitimate question.

     

    Just a thought I had a moment ago as I ask for another reference from one of my land owners. I have 5 at the moment, 4 I visit regularly, 1 I've not been for a while, like 6 months and I know very well how lucky I am but I've worked hard for those, but, I'm always on the look out for new ones and the possibility has arisen of perhaps two others.

     

    My issue is and it's a good issue to have, am I, or we, spreading ourselves to thin with more than 2-3? After all, as much as this is a hobby to us, a land owner sees it as a service. And if a job isn't getting done well enough, i.e. Not visiting enough due to so many other permissions... you catch my drift... Get someone else in.

     

    My landowners always ask how I'm getting on, to which I say yeah great, got this that and the other, even if I haven't, but it's just something I've thought about.

     

    So, is to many permissions actually a detriment?

    can i ask, how do you manage to get soooo many perms ? are you a game keeper or a pest controller ? FT

    To the OP. You seem to be confusing distances. You were zeroing at 40 yards, then you asked about 100 yards, now 60.

     

    I'm sure these lads will be able to tell you a good zeroing distance a lot better than I can, but my point is until you have got one sorted and can hit the kill zone time after time after time, don't go and shoot anything living. Live animals are not for target practice. Wounding is an unfortunate part of our sport and it happens, but it should be kept to a minimum and not because we haven't practised enough. :thumbs:

    :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

     

    could not have put it better my self Walshie

     

    Dont know who told you to shoot out to 100yrds with an air rifle

     

    but he or she needs there heads looking at :icon_eek:

    i agree, i would never want to wound a animal, iv got my scope zeroed in at 40 metres, but my original question was, what is the next scope above, and whats peoples views about sights ect ect, ATB FT

    in General Talk

    Posted

    iv got a garret euro ace with a tornado 13" coil, the coil itself cost half as much as the metal detector lol, anyway iv been detecting for about 2 years now, iv found about 40 silver coins, mostly 6 pences, and 3 pences, half crowns, i found a roman axe, a roman top part of a ring, and 2 gold cufflinks, but havent found no hammered coins, Yet only 1 roman, but still am optimistic though, theres still plenty out there to be found, thousands of years of activity, / battles/ect ect , just have to do a bit of research before going out, although its very frustrating when the farmers keep saying no no no ! one will say yes so just keep at it i say, also theres loads of detecting groups that anyone can join, the price for a days detecting ranges from £6 - £20 ! atb FT

    in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking

    iv got a pheasant that needs cooking, im no good at cooking, so iv watched a few you tube videos, even a gordon ramsey video, it says to wrap the pheasant in bacon,- as theres no fat on a pheasant, then you can fill it or not fill it, stuffin, or apples and another fruit- i cant remember which, but before cooking with the bacon over it, it says to season it, black pepper, salt, leaves of some sort, oil, bacon ovcourse, then cook, ATB FT
