  1. Maplins have lowered their prices till on sale until 29/07/2008 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Module...or&doy=13m7
  2. cheers... im going to order some.. i suspose the good thing with the size of them is they wont take much room up, & to be honest i should really start using muffs all the time when shooting. rich
  3. hi jack are you after them to put in a quick set ? on one of my longets i use 8mm aliminium poles, strong, light weight & do the job well. rich
  4. just to say thanks to steve "stubby" & his Mrs, samm "wasp" for looking after my 10 ferrets whilst i was away... it was nice to go away knowing they were been well looked after. rich
  5. if only it was that easy....
  6. it will have a small LED light on top, be more than enough.. but as someone pointed out to me through a pm, the 2.4ghz might not work through soil.. ill give it a go & see what happens.
  7. camera & receiver £.00
  8. well fingers crossed, other wise it will end up on my model planes aswell...
  9. ive been thinking of getting a set of Pro 9 defenders to use whilst out shooting, mainly with the shotties & down the club. i use peltors, but there a bit bulky & keep knocking on my target stock. has anyone tried these out ? thanks in advance. rich
  10. good going..... how many call birds have you got ?
  11. yeah so do i.. ill be putting him in an open warren, not near any hedges or trees, not that i can guarantee whats underground, but i have the perfect warren to try it on. its only going to be used once or twice so i can get some footage. rich
  12. probably going to get a ribbing off a few, but i thought it would be interesting to get some footage of a ferret at work with sound. i picked myself up a wireless camera that has colour & sound. ive been testing it out for a while now & have finally ordered a digital recorder that should be arriving next week some time which will allow me to record footage, youtube are gonna love me ! the camera has a run time of approx 5 hours & will work over a distance of 100m (330 ft) above ground with a clear line of sight, so they say ! so realistically under ground i would exp
  13. youve done a top job there... one thing i would do before putting wood preservative on is apply some " ronseal wood hardener " at the lower base of the sides where the edges touch the concrete. this will give a permanent seal. did you concider using marine ply ? more expensive but no need to use a wood preservative & wouldnt soak the water up. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/63540/Paint/...500ml?source=aw rich
  14. these are the bobs i got from johnb.. the trap works a treat.
  15. hi G do you think a darker coloured net would be less discreet ? less noticable for do-gooders walking by & for bunnies to not notice as much ? just an idea. rich
  16. Hi chap where did you get your range finder from? arcpest got mine off another forum. they can be found occassionally on e b a y for a good price. i wouldnt go over 100 pound though 2nd hand. worth their weight in gold. rich
  17. made me laugh that bit ! just imagined passers by asking them selves why were walking like basil faulty doing the nazi inpersination !
  18. he just cant stay away can he, who would of thought our richie is on his hols in spain, not sunning himself on the beach, but sneaking onto the hotel computer i know steve ! the Mrs keeps wondering why im keeping all the change, to keep feeding the "pay as you go" pc. ps: gonna take a dip in the pool now !
  19. ive had one of those for a while now, well worth the investment...
  20. i learnt my ranges by walking down the street/field & fixing my eyes on a position in front of me & taking a guess how far it was in yards & also by associating the ranges down the rifle club. im probably the same as sporting shooter, guess my ranges within 5 to 10 yards. but recently picked myself up a bushnell pro range finder which is accurate out to 600 yards, much easier. you can pick them up between 60/90 pounds. rich
  21. hes looking good pat. bet you cant wait to put him to work next season.
  22. i have a brattensound 5 gun with a lockable ammo box up top. in hind sight i would of gone for a 7 or 9 gun full depth to take the scopes aswell. the one i have is a bit of a bollock ache to get all my shotties & rifles in. the next one im getting is the 9 gun.
