eggs

i use bisley magnums in .177 Cheers

Nice shooting ... well done. Looks like you both had a good evening out

Ok knocked a few quick pellet holders up. The grey leather would probably be better for .22 as its slightly thicker but i have no .22 pellets in the house at mo. The sand leather is ok for .177 but could maybe do with being just a bit thicker as after my in house quality control ...... which i call the waggle test * i lost a pellet on the worktop ! Time will tell on the hole punch sizes due to use / wear but i will try them over the weekend and see how i get on....... from this to this and then i will get the missus to see if they can do a camo leath

Nice one , well done

Lets hope they catch them. Gives decent shooters a bad name

I will try and get hold of a small square of leather from a tannery near me. Think the father in law has a leather punch etc as he used to be a sample cutter. Its a long weekend so might actually get it done Cheers

Hi and cheers for the replies. We tried netting last year and this year but they are persistent buggers. Ruined the veg last year but luckily not so far this year. Usually theres about 6-8 of them but sometimes more. Always hanging about. Its funny to watch my old dad run down the garden at them Even if we get 1 or 2 of them hopefully that will put them off. As to where the pellet went i can say it went to safe ground. The garden is pretty big ( that why i zero the scopes down there ) and its scrubland at the end. Next time i will wait for them to be on the ground Cheers

Hi all. I wouldnt say its so much a hunting thread but its close ! I went down my dads house to zero in the ultra i bought for my daughter as she was hoping to use it this weekend and at about 25yds i was getting a 2p cover on 5 shots which i thought was bloody good for me. So i put another target in and concentrate a bit harder and put down ten shots. I walk down to the target and see only six and a bit holes. I thought hey thats strange and then it dawned on me that i was putting pellet on pellet ! OMG this ultra is very accurate. Then i hear it. The woody in the tree on my right. So i sl

70 yds ... ..... i cant even run that let alone know how far it is ! it goes back as we grow up ........ mine is bigger than yours ! my dad is bigger than your dad ! if its too good to be true etc , the proof is in the pudding ! cheers

my 97k is so sweet to shoot im very happy with it .... and im sure its not modded. saying that i did buy a bsa ultra ..... single shot !!! for my daughter who complains the hw is heavy ! but then there really is nothing to her so maybe thats why she likes it. we are slowly getting better at the targets and might well try a HFT at our local club who take on beginners at the end of the day its all good fun and thats what we like btw my 97k is in .20 cal and seems to be very good at targets and hunting cheers

So what calibre to choose ... hmmm ? A dead rat is a good rat As long as we hit and kill the bu##ers its all good

Grab some " Police" tape ..... did i really say that out loud ? Only joking but its a shame. We have squirrels that seem to know where the road is too !

Indeed wise words ... i remember i had an air pistol many years ago that i pointed at the news reader on bbc ...... and then pointed at a spot on the ceiling and pulled the trigger ! .... kapwhuuuttt ! God my mum went ballistic !!! Guns were banished to the garage ! Think i may of been grounded also ! Empty it before you bring it indoors

Good call. Lucky i shoot on private land away from sight. If im seen then the " eyes " are trespassing and should not be there ! But who knows in the future a quick call to 101 might save a load of hassle

Hi again and thanks for the replies. All being well with the weather and hopefully not working i can try and get some time up at the lads place. We are trying to source a bench / table from the workshop so hopefully try to extend our range and set up a few more targets for practice and zeroing etc. Cheers
