    As soon as you can get out mate we will take a walk to check a few drops and I’ll bring a catty along ??.

    Shot this buck the other morning, 25/20 .6 sumekie and 8mm steel. I can comfortably hit a bottle top at 20 yrd so shot placement wasn’t a issue, I hit him and he did the usual summersault but to tell the truth I feel more comfortable killing with bigger ammo. It was a clean pass through but it will be my last hunt with 8mm.

    Don’t need to go to them now Fred , I bought another scout lt from pro shot.. should be here weds ??
  4. Mr Wilkes
    Looks bloody lovely does that ??
  5. Mr Wilkes
    Not a large amount but nice to eat fresh, Cauliflower, strawberries, Tay berries and red duke of York spuds ??

    That’s absolutely brilliant news, when I told the lad on eBay he was talking out of his arse ( on a mole catching group on Facebook) he fcuked me off with shite and one of our more prominent pest controllers On here backed him.... tossers, who’s laughing now eh boys ???? bet you ditch your mate and buy from the new source.. ?
  7. Mr Wilkes
    Just ordered one..... best be quick if you want one ?

    I’ve always fancied a occularis, I think it would suit my way of shooting ( instinctive ).
  9. Mr Wilkes
    Christ Fred ... don’t have a clue mate, I cut my bands at 150-170 and then trim em down to how it “feels”, different size’ for different bands if that makes sence.
  10. Mr Wilkes
    Can’t remember the exact cost but I bought from simple shot and was hit with a £16 import tax... I vowed never to buy from them again, but I need another scout lt so I may bite the bullet ?
  11. Mr Wilkes
    Yes pal, my bands for the scout are a good 20mm shorter as I don’t need to wrap n tuck ??
  12. Mr Wilkes
    You won’t go wrong with the new scout lt , if your shooting pigeons, rabbits and close squirrels then get some gzk green .7 Cut at 25/20 and some 9.5mm steel from “ Balls of steel” Suffolk .. a cheap enough combo that’ll put food on the table.
  13. Mr Wilkes
    I’ve shot a lot of stuff with the original scout (Xt) but the new scout lt Is something else. I only bought it in May and I could bore the feck outa people with pics of what I’ve shot with it, once you match your ammo with your bands it’s unbelievable. What ammo you using Neal ?.
  14. Mr Wilkes
    I did yes, nice combo ( .66 and the pouch). these days I mainly hunt squirrels and for me I wouldn’t go any lower than .8 band and 11mm steel. They are tough feckers and to consistently kill you need to up the ante. But now and then I don’t perform as accurate as I should do I put on a light set up and gain my form back.
  15. Mr Wilkes
    The.66 gzk you sent me is lovely stuff, I shot 7mm and 8mm fine with it ??
  16. Mr Wilkes
    My anchor point never changes, if I shoot instinctive it’s just under my eye/top cheek and if I shoot gangsta with a reference point on the fork tip it’s the corner of my mouth, it’s the frame that moves up or down for me.
  17. Mr Wilkes
    The scout has served me well over the years
  18. Mr Wilkes
    I lost a bit of form recently so decided to use the gzk .66 that short straw sent me. I had a load of 7mm bearings that you get as freebies from balls of steel not doing anything so used them...WOW... the accuracy was unreal, spent a day just shooting bottle tops out to 20 yrd to get my confidence and form back . Yep it worked, cheers shortstraw ??.
  19. Mr Wilkes
    Looking good mate, nice shot placement ??
  20. Mr Wilkes
    Try 1745 tubes ( single ) for the 9.5mm steel and as c green says use a constrictor
  21. Mr Wilkes
    I think the black is anti cold but don’t know about the rest.
  22. Mr Wilkes
    Ott mate
  23. Mr Wilkes
    Tried the ppmg....not for me I’m afraid but the scout lt is a different matter. I have never shot as well as I am at the moment , im killing daily with mine and with a bit of luck you should do the same ?? I’m after another but as you say the uk have sold out and I’m waiting for pro shot to restock.
  24. Mr Wilkes
    There’s a guy nr me who makes these, I’m all for getting one but would a hedgehog feed and sleep in the same place ?.
  25. Mr Wilkes
    I think I have to devise something for them to go in and feed, if not I’d be feeding the local cat population ?
