[Out Of Curiosity, What Do You Do With Your Spent Lead Pellets?]

I make my spent lead into catapult shot

[Hi From Kent :)]

Hi from the North Kent coast! ;-)

[Whats The Crack With Buying Chickens Atm?]

I've a 20' x 6' full height chicken coop. When I started, which wasn't all that long ago I was paying £3.00 for a standard red point of lay, then the next batch were £5.00. The next were over £10.00 ? Now I've seen them for £15.00 ? I use to buy a dozen at a time, but at £180 (against the £36.00 I once paid) I buy 30 eggs ? for £3.00 at my local farm. No feed, no mite, no bother! Oh, and my rabbit ? loves her 'new' hutch!

[Section 1 Shotgun]

I had a mine added at the same time;

[Hello From Kent]

Welcome from the North Kent Coast :-)

[Justice:-)]

Common sense and justice. You stumble across his Farm in the middle of the night (supposedly out lamping, err, without permission, as you obviously didn't know where you were so couldn't have permission!) and you get shot!

[Hw100Kt Or Full Length Version?]

Brought HW100s, shot HW100kt, wished I gone with the kt, easier to handle!

[Permishion Slips]

BASC web site has them I think?

[Aplication]

3 to 6 months is usually :-(

[Soaker Hose: Free!]

I have several full lengths of Soaker Hose (4 I think, maybe 3?) going FREE :-) Collection from ME8 area (Medway) ?

[Pcp - Cocked, Or Not To Be Cocked ? That Is The Question.]

 

cocked for me as squirrels /bandits can hear a fly farting-so no point in giving them a chance

 

Same here!

Same here!

[Permissions... To Many?]

I've 10. But to be fair 8 of those back onto my main 350 acre permission. So I can service 9 permissions together. I'd be reluctant to have permissions I couldn't visit at least monthly unless I had an agreement with the land owner due to distance etc.

[When Did You Get Your First Scope?]

Would have been 1978. BSA I think? 4x20.

[Introduction & Question]

Ordered recently? Maybe shut over Xmas?

[Hello From Sunny Kent]

Good afternoon from the North Kent Coast.

If you have had your ticket 10 years surely its an open ticket?? If so its down to you if you think the lands suitable

 

Generally correct. But if a FEO has deemed a piece of land unsuitable for anything above .17 hmr and you knowingly used a larger caliber, even with an open ticket, you are treading on thin ice.

I don't normally disagree with you, but that's definitely incorrect. With an open ticket you can shoot where YOU deem safe (with permission of course). What the FEO deems safe is irrelevant,

 

The conditions on your FAC clearly state this.

Try it, shoot on a permission you know a FEO has deamed unsafe for a specific caliber. I had a permission that a FEO cleared for .22lr but not .17 HMR this was noted during his visit. I now have .223 on an open ticket, but would not use it there as I've been informed it's unsuitable. If seen using my .223 I'm sure I'd be in court arguing with regards to loosing my ticket, and getting nowhere

So what you're saying is that an open ticket is the same as a closed one?

 

I'd happily try it, like when I shot many foxes in my 60ft garden in suburbia with my rimfire. i'm sure he FEO wouldn't have cleared that for any calibre at all. They don't tell you what calibres are unsafe otherwise they'd have to include everything up to an elephant gun. They tell you what they think the land is suitable for.

 

My FAC clearly says I can shoot any lawful quarry on land I have lawful authority to shoot on. End of conditions. It doesn't say depending on your FEO's opinion.

 

Check with your firearms team what the law is,

I understand what you are saying. But if your FEO knock on your door and specifically said your actions were deamed inappropriate I for one may well argue, but to go against a FEO to me that would be a bad choice.

I'm talking about land which a FEO has visited and dreamed unsafe for a specific caliber. Try it, shoot on a permission you know a FEO has deamed unsafe for a specific caliber.

Hi how do I find out what rifles are past on farm as got 17hmr on it but couldn't get 223 on it mite try 222 farm is hills n woods 750 acres would it be worth finding more land to get bigger rifle coming up to my 3rd year renewal

I don't understand your question? It's passed for .17hmr?? But not ..223. Is that the answer?

[Hw 101]

I would only buy one if the chosen shooting discipline demanded 'single shot only'. Otherwise go for the HW100, way more versatile.

[Hw100 Recoil?]

Put it over chono, sounds like a power spike

Atb si

One hell of a power spike! The FAC HW100 @ 30ft lbs has no recoil. My 17HMR at close to 250ft lbs has virtually no detectable recoil!

[Rifle Scope At A Great Price]

I brought one off fleebay for £16.00 for testing a rifle. Good for 50 yards max, is hard to zero and if tapped looses zero. Poor in anything but the brightest of conditions and that's with a 50mm objective! I doubt a 20mm objective will fair well?

[Shotgun Cartridges Help]

Hi and welcome! Make sure you find good cartridges at a cheap price, not just cheap cartridges! Cheap cartridges will be dirty and cause dirty barrels. Also, they may not pattern well.
