    Pigeon Decoying Full set up

    I have for sale a full pigeon set up.

    It consists of:

    - 24 plastic pigeon decoys (only 16 stakes, come with bag)

    - 1 swivel bucket seat

    - 1 Clear View Hide net

    - 1 cam net

    - 4 extendable sturdy hide poles with hooks and foot plates (come with bag)

    - 1 rotary pigeon decoy consisting of:

    - 1 battery (no charger)

    - 2 foam pigeons

    - 1 heavy duty anti swivel floor spike

    - 2 adjustable height arms

    - 1 pigeon mounting spike (for shot bird)

     

    I’d like £150 for the lot. Open to sensible offers for quick sale though.

     

    Can get it posted at buyers expense, but some of the kit is heavy so likely to be pricey with a courier.

     

     

  4. Bit Of Advice Please

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    Buy a box of 50 of each, go down a range, field etc. And shoot at Captain Cardboard and his army of paper targets in groups of 5-10.

     

    Mark each target with the make of round and then measure each grouping.

     

    The tightest, most consistent round is the best one.

     

    I'm not telling you this to be awkward, but because each rifle, even of the same make, will favour different ammo. The key to this is to make sure conditions are the same. E.g always do 5 rounds groups, fire all rounds on the same day (heat, humitidy and wind all affect a round, some more than others), same distance, etc.

     

    One thing I will say, is dont worry about where the shot is landing, that comes later. Aslong as you are hitting the target and always aiming centre, this will give you a true reading of what ammo is favoured in your rifle.

     

    Good luck!

  5. .22Lr Ammo?

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Great shooting Cedric, have you tried Eley at all yet? They were amazing through my CZ452 at 100 yards. The group was under 3/4 inch.

     

    I've got the ammo testing video on the channel if you haven't seen it already. I generally zero at 80 yards :thumbs:

    I zero at 80 yards too - most of my shots are taken at 80-100yards. Means I can aim straight at the head and not have to worry about mil dot factors. I fire a CZ452 and stick RWS subs through it. Nobody seems to buy them from my local RFD and he stocks them by the bucket full because he can get hold of them. Best ammo through my rifle so far. Groupings at about 3/4 inch at 80 yards is nice. I've started using American Snipers words. Aim for a shirt button and you might miss by an inch. Aim for the chest and you might miss by a foot. ?

  9. Permission Question

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    If there is a public right of way, you can put it in a slip and walk there on the right of way. Nothing illegal about that. As long as it is covered and travelling to an area of shooting, its fine. The only problem is if its not public access.

     

    My advice would be to not ask on here, but to actually contact your FEO.

    Hi Bunny boiler, they are 1640fps 32 grain, haven't tried them on foxy yet, but would have no hesitation on doing so if he was at a sensible range. I know the wee hollow points are around £6/100 and the segmented are twice that ie £6/50. Have you hit foxy with them yet?

    At one point I used CCI minimags for bunnies in my CZ452 but they were hard to get around me so I started using RWS which group even tighter so I now only use those. The CCI 1600 fps are only for foxes for me (if I was going to use supersonic on rabbits, I'd just buy a .17HMR).

     

    I've had 4 foxes on a night out lamping bunnies now. Like I said. I simply load a 5 shot mag with them just in case and swap the mags over if I catch one in the lamp.

     

    I have it quite lucky though because the RWS and the segmented zero the same with a drop difference of about an inch at 50-60 yards.

  16. Studying Game Management At Reaseheath

    in Young Hunters Talk

    Posted

    Hi Holly, welcome to the forum.

     

    I did exactly the same course and finished 2 years ago (apart from I was at Hartpury in Gloucester). I am originally from Nantwich (with a few friends at Reaseheath) and it is a brilliant area to live in if you're going to be boarding.

     

    I won't lie, it will be mostly, if not all boys, however Reaseheath has a huge equine department that would be very easy for you to meet female friends.

     

    I would advise getting as much work experience as possible so you can apply you knowledge. Make sure you get onto an estate so that you can do some beating/work over the shooting season.

     

    If you want to talk further, feel free to PM me on here and I can offer as much help as possible.

     

    My final bit of advice would be to snap at all of the additional courses they can offer you (DSC1, Loadall ticket, chainsaw ticket, etc.). These will help alot.

     

    Best of luck!

  24. Growth On Rabbit

    in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control

    Breed enough of any species, and you're bound to have genetic mutations more rapidly. It could be a normal mutation growth, it could be disease. If it looks "healthy", apart from the giant ball-chinian (men in black reference) look, and the guts were normal looking (no yellow epithelial or lymph nodes), then its likely to be an extra fleshy growth.

    Added - if it is diseased and is oozing gunk, looks underweight, etc. Then sling it in the hedge and be done with it. No point worrying now... Its already dead!
