Sausagedog 7,381 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I fasted all day, fat git. Hunted squirrels and rabbits for 7 hours. Got home totally knackered, fat git. All I carried was the 410. Eight squirrels down, they are fat too! Nice show of pheasants to hunt a little later with a frontstuffer. Edited October 18, 2019 by Sausagedog 4 2 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,714 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 It always amazes me how many acorns them greedy little beggars can eat in one sitting, I was watching some the other day and the speed they were scoffing them down was mental Quote Link to post

Birds are amazing, in the middle of winter they are on roost for 14 hours plus. I have seen them come off roost in the dark before sunrise, they must be starving some mornings. Quote Link to post

I love it. Always loved a 410 but this is so nice to shoot and it fits perfectly too. The ammo today was not the best I had in stock but it's gone now, some were subsonic some not. Still downed vermin. No ringing ears too! 1 Quote Link to post

I got one of the above head torches, it arrived yesterday and they are good. I have to quickly move it to the side of my head in order to aim a shot gun. Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Be interesting to see how good durability is. I've bought many a cheap powerful torch off ebay, but always find 2 issues: 1. On / Off buttons always fail after a few months - intermittent contact 2. Zoom facility starts to make intermittent electrical contact after a while Be great if these buck the trend and prove durable and reliable. Quote Link to post
