Excellent result, that’s more than I get in a year. Tuesdays bag was 2. This mornings bag was 1. Avoided the blank though👍

But if basc had submitted nothing there would surely be a much much greater chance of a similar outcome to that in Ireland where 4 duck species were removed from the quarry list?

Gerry, Keep posting, always looked forward to your input. Go for it on whatever you can still do! Cheers Mark

These are now sold to Dixon. Thanks for those that asked about them.

For sale 2 x Lee loadall 12 bore re loading presses. Very much used but still working as far as I can tell. Some bushings included but I don't know what they are for. On one of the presses the de primer has been replaced with a nail so may require some fettling to get it to work reliably. From what I can make out they will load 2.5 to 2.75 and maybe 3 inch carts. This was my first year reloading with TSS and concluded that I don't need them as I only load about 100 goose carts a year and did it all by hand with and closed them off with antique roll top machine. £45 including postage for the lot

Yes they are eating it along with a small patch off set side that had some sort of seed mix in. If it is a fodder radish of some sort I don’t think it is for stock to eat as it is a big field and this is basically an arable farm so no stock. I think it was undersown with the last barley crop. I guess it will be ploughed in.

One of the farms I shoot has a field sown with this plant in. I have included a rape leaf for comparison. Can anyone ID the plant?

Where I walk the dog behind our house there are now a couple of really tame roe, they just watch me and the dog from 50 yards away and aren’t even spooked

Martin, I tried it the right way up in the first place and it went in upside down. I then turned the original upside down and it still went in upside down! Mind of it's own....
-
Well, had 4 last Friday and 4 on the Saturday so I was due a blank. The geese were there but I was definitely in the wrong spot! A nice sunrise though! Not many days left.
Does anyone know why the pic is upside down, can't find a way to get it the right way?
-
Yep this my second cocker, they both do fine with the geese, they just have to work a bit harder than a lab!
-
Still at it on the shore, 4 geese today and my first grey this season, in fact for two seasons. Tss duplex load doing the business.
-
Well done, wish I could get out, laid up with man flu and not many days left. Good camera work again

it’s toward the middle/bottom of the page
eley quote 1290fps for their standard steel. 32grm load!
-
Do you know where the speed is measured at? Muzzle or 3 foot from. I ask as on Gamebores website they are advertising speeds of 1400 for standard steel? Naughty them!
Agreed the yanks cartridge suppliers and marketeers seem very keen pushing the hi velocity stuff. But plenty of research on internet to show the fallacy of this as at 40 yards it has slowed down to only a little above a 1400/1350 speed cart.
look up Surviving Duck Season on YouTube, he has some interesting stuff"……………and prefers to shoot bismuth!
-
I think CIP has a max velocity of 1430 fps. The video talks of using cartridges in the 1330 to 1360 fps range. It is therefore possible for manufacturers to produce such cartridges and I believe many current steel factory loads run at these speeds. So while the SAMMI regs may be more beneficial the CIP regs we are stuck with don't preclude the production of cartridges as used in the video.
-
Not sure how I haven’t come across this before but for all the doubters of steel it is definitely worth watching.
Admittedly Tom is a very very good shot but that does not alter the fact on the ability of the cartridges at ranges I would not shoot at.
interesting that they are not worried about using full choke either

Ditchy, got the head out of the bin, bill measured 72mm

Shot by someone else today but picked by me. Never seen one this colour before.

Islandgun, there is a holts rep in Inverness if that’s any help (and Kingussie)

That’s dedication there. Well done
CPSA no longer allows autos or pumps in skeet comps?
in Clay Pigeon Shooting
Posted
I was told by a fellow shooter (possibly not too reliably!) that the CPSA no longer allow autos and pumps in skeet comps and some other disciplines.
Is he talking cobblers or is there some truth in it? It doesn't bother me much as I am not a competitive skeet shooter or CPSA member, just curious.
Cheers
