  1. What is the best way of drying out a natural catty??? I've seen reference to microwave and oven drying but no details on either method what methods are pepole using and what are the pros and cons of each. And what sort of temperature and timings are we talking about????
  2. Thanks guys very informative links. What would you say would be the minimum thickness for a natural catty intended for hunting so probably banded up with twin therband gold??
  3. Ok new to this guys looking at making a natural but not got clue about banding up. I have seen some really nice work by you guys and there apears to be different ways of banding up. PeopLe also mentioned about Asia blue, theraband good etc etc if some one could talk time to explain these it would be great. I like the look of the over the top banding but I'm unsure how these are fixed in place, looks like another band? Thanks guys.

  17. Right I am adding a .17HMR to my ticket asap. I have a .22LR with a variable mag optic i am woundering what I should be looking at to put on the HMR. Some people say no need for varible on a .22 ok but what fixed optic is best if the magority of shots are at 50-60yds. Now as the HMR has a further range (in the right hands) Am I better off swapping my variable off my .22lr and getting a fixed on that or do i put fixed on the HMR. What are the pros and cons of each plz. next question what is the best way of zeroing an optic and what is the optimum distance for each caliber (.22 and .17

And I have decied to increase my knowaldge of all things fieldsports by entering into the ferreting world . I have been gifted a 7 month albino Jill, who does not bite and is happy to be handled often. My first question would be how old should she be before being sent into a bury?? Is there any training that should be done with her before t
