Hw100 potential problem
MickC replied to shropshire dan's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Hot air expands so as it cools down it settles to a lower pressure,always best to fill pcp as slow as possible . Fill it slowly then just top up a touch at a time, give it time to settle till its at correct pressure you want it to be. -
You could hold the dog in and spin him for a slip tie but its pointless if bitch is not ready.Two options to get the day bang on to breed her,either take her to the vet next time when she starts her season and get the blood work done,vet will tell you exact day to breed her on and removes all the guess work,other way is to buy a Draminski ovulation detector and do it yourself. There is a third option with the ovulation detector strips you place in the bitch.All bitches are different some breed no problem and others need to be bred bang on the day,some early and some late in the season .

Ian that's a bit long to wait like that's if they even happen by the sounds of it,whats your opinion of the n355 for airguns,it seems to have a lot more bells/whistles which id probs never use,where as the n250 seems to have less of these options but better resolution,have you tried one out yet ? Thanks for your reply .

Been looking on sites at the N250 nv unit, some sites are saying this unit has now been discontinued and others saying they will have stock of them in June. Does anybody know for definite if they are being released and are they just the same as the N355 unit with less features but with better resolution ? Thanks for any replys

5/8 whippet 3/8 bc. Like already mentioned,breeding is a reverse 3/4 bred to a pure like what Hancock did for some of his 5/8 stuff . Just 1/2 the breeding of both parents then add them together to find the percentage of pups .

Data Protection Laws.Like all the data that people thought was securely stored on Facebook etc. The CEO of Facebook has just been up before Congress in the USA over data being leaked/passed on to third partys .A licence for anything only works for law abiding people,there will always be the idiots who will not bother with a licence who are exactly the type of people the Licensing schemes were brought in to clamp down on. Take the handgun ban for example,all the law abiding people who held licences and owned handguns had there guns confiscated and destroyed,and then all the handguns were left i

What licensing would do is store every Terriermans details away somewhere which is info that will eventually make its way into the wrong hands. This info apart from letting potentialy everybody know who keeps terriers,there would also be addresses stored which would create havoc if this info did get leaked .

Pulsar Digisight N355 Models Available

Anybody using this nv unit on an air rifle set up ? Curious to see what owners that have them think of them. Thanks for any replys. -
Good night out again lads . ?

Im a fan of Bellew and he is the best pundit in Boxing, very rare if ever he gets it wrong. He has done well in his career and who can blame him for looking for the big pay days with a little less risk. Like I mentioned he said he wont fight Joshua or Wilder because of there size/attributes but hes willing to fight the bigger Fury. Fury is not recognised as a big puncher as well as coming off a long layoff so fair play to Bellew if he can get the fight with Fury later on in the year, Bellew is clever and knows the risk/reward involved for him with certain fights . Fury is still too big/good fo

Bellew trying to talk his way into another nice little earner straight after beating Haye for the second time, Fury having none of it yet. Haye at end of career,Ward retired,Fury just coming back after over a 2 year lay off, see the pattern there ? Plenty of sharks to fight at Cruiser where he was,or Stevenson said he would rematch him in UK ! Did you forget Bellew has openly said he would not fight Wilder or Joshua ?

Everybody was advised back in the day to get rid of smelly coal fires and start using clean cheap easy gas/electric. Coal fires died a death and then the powers that be gradually ramped the prices up on gas/electric so now its come full circle and people are going back to coal/log burner/stoves. Suprise surprise now they are wanting to ban stoves,lol so predictable the powers that be. As for ozone damage and clean air it's all another excuse to force higher/more taxation us . The mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991 released more harmful gas/smoke/toxic chemicals as well as 15-30 million tons

I asked Pav about these units as a mate told me he had one and both were impressed with it. It's a 2x mag unit so doubles scope base magnification 4x becomes 8x etc and slightly longer than the 700/800 units. The 800s is availalable as a 1x mag and the 800l is around 1.3x mag unit.If your thinking of buying one Ludicrous Lumens has the LL-760 which looks to be the same model as the Adder but there £145 cheaper . hth https://www.ludicrous-lumens.co.uk/products/ll-760-inline-near-eye

I thought PayPal does not cover guns/gun parts ? Once these parts are mentioned they don't want to know ? Best bet is to find a member on here who lives near him and get them to go and check out gun and then pick it up for you if it's ok . Too many people been stung on Freeads etc .

It's got some hydraulics on it lol

Luke what about that kid saying a 20" Beddy whippet can run all day out on the hill,if it didn't jack chances are it would be crippled in an hour .
-
A don’t think half ppl on here have even ran dogs mate or they look through rise tinted glasses lol hope all is well
-
Sound mate, just waiting of a Greyhound I've got in to come into season.Going to put a mates Deerhound dog over one of me halfx bitches later on, get some big stuff Mick .
-
You back into bigger stuff mate ? What kind deerhound blood you using ? Have you got many dogs in at the moment this ban and daft c**ts on Facebook got game on its knees

I used to run a 24" Beddy/Grey out on these same hills with the Deerhound cross for years and they left him for dead. It's got nothing to do with heart how a dog covers rough ground it's the dogs breeding/genetics that enable it to run ,heart only comes into it once the dog needs to come to terms with whatever it is running . Big dogs for big jobs certainly was the case what we were running .
-
The stamina on these dogs were as good as anything I've seen run out on the proper hill amongst the crag/heather and what we were running the bigger dogs were more suited. The Deerhound/Deerhound cross gait seems to let them run almost effortlessly over rough ground,il be first to admit fast dogs on the flat can make a Deerhound/Deerhound cross look slow and even clumsy but get them out on the environment they are meant for and you will see a different animal and that's when they come into there own. I have never run hound cross on this type of terrain so that's why I never mentioned them but
-
No other breed covers rough ground as good as a Deerhound or Deerhound cross . Ive seen a few good Collie cross out on hill over the years but best ive seen always had a bit Deerhound in the make up .

Hung over ! Mrs sent to Mcdonalds, 20 box of nuggets, tomato dips,cheese burger, large fries and a Mcflurry. Sorted !

Hopkins was juicing for years with GBP and getting away with it,he always refused to be tested,makes you wonder actually how long they have been using juice.GBP should be investigated with some of the stunts they have pulled over the years as well as the way they conduct business. Things like buying Ring Magazine to elevate there own fighters over the true best fighters is all wrong . Ring Magazine should be independent of anybody/organisations that work in boxing especially promoters .
-
He should be I agree, but will he get the credit he deserves ? With GBP owning Ring Magazine the true lb for lb fighters are not getting the recognition they deserve anymore. That's why Clenelo is rated lb for lb no1 when he should really be lucky to be in the top 10 ,and after his failed drug tests should not even be ranked. GBP is a big part of the problem with corruption in boxing these days .
-
Haye too old and clearly not the fighter he once was as mentioned already by a few others . Haye should walk away from fighting now and concentrate on managing/promoting.Haye was game but he is clearly a diminished fighter,Bellew did well and did what he said he would do,be interesting to see who he fights next as hes not a big Heavyweight.

Been there a few times over the years with the family,it takes all day to walk round it,its a good day out .
