putting a bit of insulation tape on the butt is a really good cheap idea.....if you still have the problem, is your stock too long................

It realy does bug me ditchman.....just to add insult to it all we don't get any overtime payment for meetings, conferance calls etc... Works out to be a day s month unpaid....
been there done it got the tee shirt....a company owned my rear for 4 years, i would start at 3 in the morning on monday and would not get home till midday saturday, i spent half my time in a plane flying all over uk and ireland...i had unlimited expenses, stayed in what hotel i wanted never payed for fuel, and shot and charged it corperate......you either accept it and play the game and get chosen to be kicked up the ladder....or you swim against the tide, and that will never work....if you approach your boss with a gripe you will be marked...and dont expect any support from your mates at work..if you involve them they will treat you like a leper, you have got to make a choice, get stuck in or make an exit stratergy........
sorry but that is how it is now and that is why i got out of it, and why im unemployed now !

Im no bar room lawyer, but as you have raised this issue then it is really bugging you.......my advice is keep a written diary and log all the times of calls and reasons...cause the way it might pan out is you will face off your boss about it and, you will lose !, sure as eggs is eggs, you will be down the road on some obscure reason, cause they will find someone else to take the flack.
then at least you have some evidence and motive as to your dismisal, which you can take to your union or a lawyer.

people will argue all day what is better.....fact is most use 6-7.....if your gun can handle 32g then fine,some 32g have left a bruse on me, others are sweet as a nut...keep trying different cartridges then you will find one that suits you and your gun....then stick with it...worst thing to do is keep on changing cartridges just because you had a bad day,.............

Yep new in box with fairlead and all the bits

I paid £160 for my current one
was that neeewww...!!!
Warn are best but expensive - the TDS range that Goodwinch sell are very good too - if you afford a synthetic rope get 1 !! if you have never used a winch before have a read on some of the offloading forums for some tips about keeping your hands & fingers !!!!
used winches and capstans quite a lot but never sythetic rope, is there a lot of stretch in it ?

i need to fit a winch to my 90, just to pull me out of the muck now and again, i have seen these winches for sale at Warrior winches, has anybody got one fitted and are they fit for the job...just looking at the price are they a chinese import and do they burn out or break like some cheap chinese import gennies i know.

i think Motty hit the nail on he head.....just keep on trying, what is right for us in our area dosnt really mean it will be right in your area, you are going to have to find out by yourself, keep logging on to PW and try different things, even silly little things like making small adjustments to the decoy pattern as the weather changes........if you are new to decoying and went out and shot 50 birds everytime you went out ...you would get board quick...the fun is getting it right and when you are not shooting thinking about how you are going to approach it next time.......keep on asking questions.......
