  2. why need a fuse, just one more thing to go wrong. after all the bulb is a good enough fuse.
  3. Im still running my iiyama prolite e435s. had it about 7 years. it turns on and it turns off what more do i need.
  4. you will find they chatter and being thin you will need to run a steady with it or it will flex

  6. i went and had a good look and play with them all. i liked the samsung one but son put me off. i do like the ipad so i will wait to see what this mini is like. i have to replace the pc soonish and was thinking about a mac so it might all work out.
  7. I did read up on the ipad mini but at moment very little info out there. a lot of speculation it would seam. Thanks guys for all your help, i think i have been steered towards the N7. thanks again peoples. ATB Phil.
  8. we have a pretty **** world and staples. im thinking Nexus 7, 16gb. would this be as good as the ipad 16gb or on a par with it.
  9. not needing 3g. if it has it then fair enough but it will only be for home use. shes a woman, multi tasking, she can watch the news on tv and read it on her phone at the same time. (dont ask) we have the laptop but its big and heavy, hence why she likes her kindle thing. we have a dinosaur of a pc as well.
  10. whats this one thats just come out with no hhd. she said something about it but a played stupid to throw her off the scent a bit. i did look at this new kindle thing as well. she has a kindle at the moment and loves it to bits. 3G? is this something to do with music. only reson i was looking at Ipad is because we are thinking about buying a mac pc soonish or is this a no no as well she has only just had the phone. last week, she had a nokia for 5 years befor that.
  11. I have no idea about these things but there must be the odd person in here that does Wife's birthday on tueday and in all fairness to her, she puts up with me and my tantrums. I have sold some shooting gear in order to buy her something that she would never buy for herself. All the spare money we have goes on the kids. I only have around £300-£350 and i have to by a card with that as well. i know Ipads have been around a while and was going to buy the new Ipad 16gb-wifi but then i saw a few android tablets and very easily confused myself. she has just got a samsung mobile android thing and seams to be using it all the time. £350 what do i go buy, bearing in mind im a technophobe and shes not much better. thanks people for your help. i should have sorted this a while ago but i didnt have the money spare till friday. all the best Phil.
  12. 170 lightforce but i have built a dimmer and only run a 75watt bulb each trip it around 4hours with the lamp on.
  13. i run the wildhunter 22ah. just to give you a bit of an idea. a 17amp gel battery comes in at 14lb the 22amp wildhunter is 3lb. it lasts 3 and a half lamping trips. price was £215 from A1 decoying. very happy with it so far.
  14. my son had the same problems. every time it was because of viruses over working the hdd. been replaced and warned that if he brakes it again the he has to fix it. so far so good.
  15. was only after shoot and see's out the bargain bin. never mind, i will just shoot at your.haha
  16. put dog on lead before getting to car. dog knows that once she is in the car thats the end of the fun. just to make sure dog does not wise up i would cal the dog in a few times, put lead on, walk a short distance and then let off lead again.
  17. just put them back through the press, like you would to resize/deprime. take it steady and wear goggles just in case but i have never had one pop. i re use the primers with no ill effect. i did how ever have a very tight bum the first few i tried it do.
  18. yes, in the mouth and out the back. it was a strange one as you could hear the bullet zinging off after the exit. that was an A-max that should have just fragmented. i use them as they are supposed to bust up quicker than the V-max but im not so sure sometimes. TB. I have asked so many people, so many time if they want to come out but no one ever phones, i think i must smell real bad. The gent that came out last night was spot on. good on lamp and even better at dragging the carcases. a good slave is so hard to find these days. I know he's reading this.lol.
  19. He was poopoo but all that was left.lol In all fairness he was spot on.
  20. Gav, it had crossed my mind. me shooting the foxes has just made it harder for them. the farmer likes the deer so no shooting them. TB sorry but i like to talk.lol.
  21. Couple of days ago i go speaking to a land owner who was having a problem with his dogs rolling in fox ****. I asked is i could have a go at them one evening. That was last night. I got there just before dark and had a good chat with him about what where and when. he told be someone went over a few nights ago but with no luck. not sounding very good i thought i better at least have a flash around with the lamp. said my good byes and left the truck at the gate. I have to walk the fields. no biggie with the new Wildhunter Lithium battery. 22amps of power for 3lb 1 oz. very happy with this but thats another story. Of we went, there was 2 of us, to the first area and popped the lamp on. 2 foxes sat out around 200 yrds, no back stop, no shot. tried to call but they ran off. either i was losing it or they have seen it all before. left them to it and went over the other side of the farm track to another group of fields. Lamp on, fox sat there around 100 yards away. onto the bi-pod and bang, 1st in the bag. Into the next field. a part of eyes way out on the far side. this one wasn't coming either. tried all the calls but it just sat there. scan with lamp and there was one over to he left some 50 yards away but as soon as the lamp hit him he was off as well. he did stop but way off with no back stop. it's as if these have been shot at before as they seam very clued up. after going through all the calls it was the last one that got him moving. he sort of came at us but on an angle. bad mistake as it gave the back stop. it stopped as 60 meters then ran back the way is came. stopped again at 80 yards but i was on it all the way. Bang and the next one down. dragged it back and collected the other one dropping them in the farm yards. Happy days, two down, farmer will be happy. we went back for a quick look at the first place we stopped at in a hope that the 2 would be back out. rifle on the bails ready to go as these Foxes dont like it. turned the lamp on and there's one running away about 20 yards away. we must have walked into it. a quick shout and it stopped to look, bang! 50 yards out and thats fox 3. the next field we spotted eyes all over. couple of deer. few more foxes and what looked like hares. not sure as the didnt hang around. not like the hares i know but somethings not right about this place. It took about 40 minutes of calling to get the next for to come but it just stayed on the brow with no shot on. we moved back to the field we came from and got up on the trailers. from there we have the view we needed. a few minutes late there's a number 4 in the bag with more eyes watching. more calling but nothing wanting to play so we walked to pick up number 4 and call it a night. on getting close the it we spied fox 5 hunting in the ploughed feild. on the floor and with in a few minutes i had the shot. 5 in the bag and we called it a night. if you can call it a night. we had to take the foxes off the land but truck was at the farm house so it was out with the drag rope and all 5 hooked up. i think deer are easier to drag.lol. quick photo and than a chat with farmer and his wife. they couldnt get over how many we had and only in 2.5 hours. very happy as they said it should stop the dogs rolling in the fox **** but they couldnt work out what the other guys that have been shooting as they have been over a few times. farmers wife happy, farmer happy and my wife happy as i was back home by 10.30. I dont shoot very often as i lamp more for others so good to get a result. Thanks for reading All the best Phil.
