    When I was at uni, I remember kicking the p**s out of some guy that came to a party. He was annoying as hell and when the house owner's cat came over to him, he slapped the cat then told me to mind my own business when I told him to leave it alone. Well, turns out it was my business, and he got a hell of a beating! When a couple of friends held me back he did a runner to his car. I didn't quite get the last laugh. The brick I threw at his car missed. I was fuming! About 2 weeks ago when walking back from the shops with my wife, this kid in the park kicked a football at a cat. I went over t

    If you have gloves, you can slide a few down the glove, and just take your glove off and reload from there.

    So a person in all black on a bike. If they're heading towards you, they'll not see your flag. Me thinks there could be a lot of bikers on the roads that will be slowing down scared that a police speed trap is up ahead, when really is us on THL flashing our lights thinking it's you coming towards us on the road. I'll just stick to moving out the way so you can get past. Then you can give me the biker's wave.

    Manson was basically a 'spiritual guru' back in the day, and ran a semi-cult style organisation that appealed to many musical stars at the time. He was friends with the Beach Boys, Steve McQueen, and they would frequently hang out together. With many of the current bands, their names are 'subtle' referrences to more sinister issues. Kasabian...as the original post says, is Charles Manson directed. Kaiser Cheifs...Kaiser Wilhelm II, whose death started WW2. Marilyn Manson is named after the 'entertaining dichotomy' of the names of 2 of the biggest names in the 60's, Charles Manson and Maril

    Obviously the scrubland at the end is also yours Egg. We know that all members on this forum are 100% law abiding. We're sorry that all your attempts at pest control have failed and that you've had to resort to that kind of pest control. I remember you telling me about the failure of the scarecrow, netting, and even the sonic box you had to scare them off. It's okay though mate. I know it's a last resort to use the Ultra, but at least you're doing it humanely.

    Any idea where the shot went? Did you hear any windows smash? haha Obviously the only reason you would shoot a pigeon in your garden would be within the rules of the GL. The Ultra is brilliant. Nice choice.

    You want a job? You sound like a great employee Haha, good answer. Thankfully these were just temp jobs when back from uni during the summer holidays. If you're predicted a First in Business Management, and are doing a temp job that sucks, you'd probably just have as much fun as possible too. I now run my own business part time, and work fulltime in a major insurance company helping develop the client base to companies like Google, Barclays, Santander, and many others. They offered me a good wage, and training to help me build my own business, I work my socks off for them. At the

    MadMackie, how's that permission been so far?

    I was going to say get jabs, same as Netter said. Personally, I compete on a chicken farm with the owner's dog, and I'm still numbers up on her. Just make sure you have a good vet and explain that your neighbour has had their dog bitten by a rat, so you'd like to make sure the little'n has their jabs, incase of the same thing. Make sure you don't let them eat the rat. Farm rats will be exposed to poison. If you let your dog eat them, or get into the habit of eating them, you could potentially be risking secondary poisoning. Be really careful of this. A lot of fetch and "drop" t

    I was about to say pretty much the same as James. One quick question, are you using the variable ranges? If you're scared that you've set your practice with the 10x zoom, then play around and try some smaller zooms, e.g. try using 6x or 8x or something like that. The more you practice the better you get at those ranges and those zooms. Try to zero to at least 12x, so that if you really need to be accurate, you're set and ready for it. Personally, I prefer to use the variable zoom and take my time with my shots. If I'm on a rabbit, I'll scope at 4x to check I've got the rabbit in the sc

    I have had some rubbish jobs, but I always used to have fun with them. For example, at a chem factory, I used to draw funny patterns on my clothing in bleach and tell the boss the bleach had splashed in that smiley face pattern...totally by accident. I would put bottles on the conveyor belt the wrong way too, so that I could get extra time off, when the machine screwed up haha. Got fired from McDonalds on my first day. The customer said they wanted a BigMac meal. I asked what drink. They guy said "I don't care mate. Surprise me." So simultaneously shouted "BOO" as I lunged forward at h

    I prefer to rely on skill and not luck....but a little luck wouldn't go amiss.

    JJM, I've still got to fit that scope mate. I am saving it for the .22lr when my license goes through.

    Got up nice and early. Down to the farm. Stalked up to the patch where I missed the last rabbit yesterday. Wow, he was there, as expected. Just by one of the bricks I was zeroing my rifle at. One was at 35 yards, the other brick was at 45 yards. Stabilised on the frame of the silo, just like yesterday. Crosshairs on his head, and I take the shot. It hits low! WHAT?!?! He darts behind a pile of sticks, and holds it down there. So I line up on him again. Take the shot. He drops down...clearly dead. Then I reload, incase I need to dispatch, and he shoots off behind the fence and into the

    I'm the opposite mate. In 2 weeks, I've seen a total of 5 rabbits on 2 of my permissions. Of those, 1 was the one earlier today. I'm going back for him tomorrow. Kind of tempted to leave it and let the population grow back up, but I promised the farmer a rabbit for stewing and I'm a man of my word.

    I did throw a couple of good sized stones at it, but then I felt like I was back in the Dark Ages and was stoning a pigeon to death for being a witch. The hunt was a success, even though the pot is empty...still

    Back home with a feeling of semi satisfaction. At my usual haunt, having a problem finding any rabbits...as usual. Then I come around the side of one of the buildings to see a rabbit quickly duck down. Estimated distance at 50 yards (I usually zero in the patch of land where he is, so I can happily say I was about 1-2 meters off at most. HA, this little bugger is mine! I stalk up, taking about 35-40 seconds per step, then I post up against the side of the grain silo. Distance is now 30ish meters. The rabbit's ears had popped back up and he'd starts to eat grass again. Gently I squeeze

    Make a small pouch and pop it on the side of your stock. You can get some good stock covers that have pockets in them too.

    Just bored as beans here at work and the conversation got to zombies. Anyone played DayZ? It's basically post zombie apocalypse and you have to loot and work with other people. The biggest threat is other players. The zombies are actually minimal in the game. Just run around and bludgen them. Then you find yourself getting shot by some random other player on the server. Well addictive. But thankfully I have a life and have only played it at a friend's house twice. I can't justify getting a whole computer set-up, just to play a zombie game.

    WOW, some awesome answers here. First choice...my dad. He passed away a year and a half ago. I'd give so much to be able to have a coffee with my dad again and tell him everything was going okay. Then asking him for some advice. Second choice...my father-in-law. He passed away when my wife was a child. I'd love to be able to just ask him for permission to marry his daughter. Bloody hope he'd say yes haha. Third choices are joined place. Aristotle - he taught Alexandra the Great. Imagine learning from that guy! Seneca - read his stuff. Every sentence is deep and meaningful. DaV

    Wow, we've gone off track here. Time to refer back to the original post. If you were to use a .22 for those same shots, you would cause more damage, break more bone fragments, and cause greater compression on the rat's brain. However, the odds of guaranteeing that it would have taken out the rats faster is ZERO. Don't forget, a rat will have it's synapse chemicals running around it's body, and when a lead pellet passes through the skull (scrambling the brain) it's going to twitch out. This is one of the reason you get the 'air running' and 'helicopter tail' when you get a clean sho

    Nice shooting!
  24. RemyBolt
    The length of the shot from an elevated platform will actually be a bit longer (trigonomitary from GCSE's...think hypotinous). So although you may only be shooting 15 yards, with an elevation of 5 yards (generous 1st story window), you'll probably be shooting a total of 16 yards!!! All the difference! haha. Truth is, because of the arched trajectory of an air rifle pellet, the arch will be moving along our hypotinous angle, and the point of contact will be above the expectation. Also, the downward movement and the play with gravity, will effect it hugely. It's no longer moving in a smooth

    The reason for that is that is he said you will be okay, and you get injured again, his head rolls, the NHS gets sued for giving bad advice, and you end up being £100'000 richer because you sustained an injury based on the information provided by a consultant. This is the current culture our doctors work under. Any wonder why our healthcare system (where taking a risk can end your career and be on the headlines by the end of the day) is so wet and soggy?
