Congratulations 🎊 well done to both of you, many more to come 👏

I have I saw in the podcast about shooting deer with copper instead of lead so it can safely enter the food chain could you please tell us if it’s a requirement to shoot non lead bullets on the land held by Basc for shooting deer or is it voluntary also I’m aware that you should have a shotgun proof for HP steel do you need any extra proof test for your rifle and or moderator for shooting the copper bullets

There is nothing of substance in the podcast.

Conor, this is an OPEN Forum. You have previously accused me of being personal, I am not.

Hi could I take one of these please Graham

Many congratulations to you both.

No. All I can see is a blank grey/black screen with no control.

I see you are deliberately stoking this one up also. Have you anything of substance to add to this thread?

Looking forward to the follow up.

Well if the BASC representatives can't take it.

Well done.

Gordon Bennett, the thread that just keeps giving..............

Used to love these crisps in Germany, lidl have them in a couple of times a year,always buy a few packets.

This has been challenged and on record. https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/113503/pdf/

Start the countdown..............................................

Relevance is that those who published the flawed evidence on human health were also involved in writing much of the information relating to wildlife and the environment. Would their output on the latter topics be any more reliable? HSE have appointed Rhys Green and Debbie Pain to advise on the lead ammunition restriction proposals. The HSE dossier states that “Data which have been assessed by ECHA and/or LAG as reliable are considered to be of a sufficient standard for inclusion without duplicative detailed review and analysis by the Agency.” Much of the LAG information was actually compiled by Green and Pain, and it now appears that HSE intends to reject any criticism of evidence from the LAG, The LAG documents compiled in 2015 included: "An evaluation of the risks to wildlife in the UK from lead derived from ammunition" by Debbie Pain and Rhys Green "An evaluation of the risks to human health in the UK from lead derived from ammunition" drafted by Rhys Green and Debbie Pain and endorsed by the PERA Subgroup of the LAG. "Consensus conclusions from two risk wildlife assessments carried out by members of the PERA Subgroup of the LAG" The PERA (Primary Evidence and Risk Assessment) Subgroup that endorsed the findings of Rhys Green and Debbie Pain was chaired by Prof Len Levy (who helped Green and Pain to prepare their 2012 paper on lead ammunition and human health), two of the other PERA members being Rhys Green and Debbie Pain. Am I alone in thinking that all this sounds rather incestuous?

Why do you think the quality and content was woeful? That is very lazy and vague. Please explain in more detail - I am especially interested in the game meat market section given you have been going on and on ad nauseum about game meat market for weeks. Furthermore you have posted over 50 comments in this thread and nothing of substance about the podcast.

had another crack at the peas today, 3 hrs shooting led to 51 birds. was great when they came but the long gaps with no birds made me feel that it could have been better. i found where they had gone on the way out....500+ birds on another field of peas 500mm away, and thats an awful field to shoot.

Your technical gunsmith related queries would be best explored with Terry in first instance. If there is anything useful arising from that then feel free to publish the info on here thereafter.

Saw two house martins flitting about at chalk farm near Swaffham last Sunday.

All back together.

🙄

I d rather not chat on the phone thank you would far prefer my queries answered on here for all to see many thanks OF

You won't need a new receiver just the remote, so for £20 for a universal you don't have much to loose. Well apart from £20 😂

What you think Conor is the least of my concerns. Any argument to deflect from your inability to cite the evidence that prompts your inadequate defence of your views. If I was so inclined I could listen to it again but as I said a good few pages back I think the quality and content is woeful. That you find it such high quality only underlines your exceptionally low standards. In all honesty the content was memorable only in as much as the content failed to make any impression whatsoever and an experience I have no wish to repeat. Your politically driven tactic of continual diversion from answering my questions only demonstrates your inability. Happily witnessed by all those choosing to read this thread. Fortunately I feel no need to report back to what I consider, well let's not go there I'm sure you get the drift. Your behavior does shed a bit of light on BASCs toxic work environment fiasco however. You wrongfully state only one person has listened to the podcast then when shown evidence that I stated that I had also listened instead of accepting that your statement was incorrect you proceed to accuse me of lying. I think our debate shows who is more able to be trusted. You dont even have the courage to own up to having no figures to support your claims. Pitiful but not unexpected. I said I had the measure of you a long time ago and you prove me correct.
