You are right about FAC airguns and some say you only gain another 10 yards with FAC , what a load of bollox they speak 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,396 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Still better than nothing mate i think this year a few permissions are going to struggle to give up any number of rabbits but the ones will tally up in the diary come the end of the year Quote Link to post

I'm no good with fine recitals 2 Quote Link to post

si brown 8,486 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I’ve used the little thermal spotters and there shite phil... the add-on is less than half the price and 10x better 1 Quote Link to post
