Yeah I can see what you mean but i trust him so thats not really a problem, thanks for the advice though Will be sure to let you know how they perform

Cheers guys, might give them a try on the charlies then as I take alot within 30 Yards with the 1's so will be interesting to see

How do you get on with 3's for fox out of interest? I have only personally ever used 1's and BB's

Been given a couple by a freind who homeloaded them but i dont really know what to use them for? And it made me curious as you see them on sale but i have never heard of them being used. Obviously the steel no3's are used for wildfowling just not ever heard about lead no3's being used

i know it bares no comparison to a beretta but on my lanber when the forend had some very slight movement a few little bits of insulation tape on top of one another did the trick. Maybe worth a try if all else fails

First attempt at a write up so here goes.... After several outing with Lez325 from this forum and learning more than i thought possible about fieldcraft, shooting and quarry behavior I took a trip out by myself for the first time in a while. After watching my team play rugby this afternoon I decided to take a trip to a nearby permission to what was about. Upon arriving at the farm things weren't looking to bad. As i wandered down in to the run down old yard I saw a trio of crows heading straight towards me. So due to my lacking camoflauge I ducked down behind a nearby sprout of brambles to have the crows fly high over head seconds later. I shot a high crow after remembering what les had told me about lead which proceeded to drop stone dead in to thick cover behind me. Didnt really fancy scrabbling round in brambles so the crow was left where it fell. This first shot had wrecked my chances of a rabbit as the main field for them is adjacent to the yard so no surprises as the field was devoid of life. I decided to walk to the top of the farm as i had disturbed most of the bottom half in hope that all would be ok when I returned on my way back. After a short walk across four fields to the top of the farm embarassingly missing several rabbits on the way i came to a copse in between two grazing fields, another hotspot. Walking towards the copse a squirrel caught my eye and as I walked to the tree it had just climbed two pigeons made of to my right i managed to drop one that dropped on to the neighbouring farm so couldnt be retrieved. The squirell wasnt found either to my slight irritation. A short walk across the field found me in the woods of which I walked down the edge so i could just see in to the field. Needless to say that was a pointless exercise at this time of year. Once I had reached the bottom of the woods I walked across the top of 4 grass fields and one old wheat stubble field. Hugging the edge of the woods again this time in the fields this is where the good shooting started. After 3 fields a came across a tree that had fallen in to the field so I hid amongst the branches. Not long after I spotted a group of about 12 crows flying from another part of the woods straight towards me. they came over the hedge about 40 yards to my right and straight over me. I managed my first ever right and left from the group. These shots Disturbed more crows from where the others had come from. A single crow came over not long after which was dropped with the second shot. another small group of 5 or so crows flew over just after I had reloaded, i managed to drop one of the group as in my haste to add to the bag i came out from my cover too early and spooked the group. Two more crows were added to the bag before I decided to call it a day as i had to walk back down to the other end of the farm. To my surprise there were no rabbits in any of the spots I thought they would be on the way back. As I was walking down the last field along the edge of the field I spotted in a squirrel on the ther side of the ditch that separated the two fields. It spotted me and started to make towards the nearest tree and after missing one earlier in the day I wasnt going to miss another one so i gave it 1/2 choke and it stopped dead in its tracks. After going through the gate to pick up the squirrel to show my grandad as otherwise i would get another ribbing for not having anything to show for all the shots he would have heard. I was surprised, well I say that I was actually quite amused to find that the squirrel still had an acorn in its mouth that it was tryin to run off with. And it still held on to it when i picked it up. This also tickled my grandads sense of humour and the farmers as well. So after watching my rugby team loose their game that I should have been playing in, I was happy with a bag of 6 crows, 1 pigeon, and a squirrel to show for my efforts. And just to add to it the good day when I went in to see the farmer and my grandad the farmer gave me half a box of eley 32g 5 cartridges Happy Days. I would just like to thank Lez325 here as i used alot of what I had learnt previously from him today and I really think it put most of what I shot in the bag. He really is a sterling bloke and willing to teach a newcomer. Cheers les A few pics I managed from today...

First go at a write up so here goes.... After several outings with Lez325 of here and learning more than i thought possible from him on all aspects of fieldcraft, shooting and quarry behavior i have been out by myself for the first time in a while. After watching my team play rugby I decided to to take a quick trip out to a nearby permission to have a look what was about. On turning up at the farm things were looking average to be honest. I walked down in to the yard of the run down old farm to see a trio of crows coming straight towards me. Due to my lacking camoflauge I quickly ducked behind a nearby bunch of brambles only to have the crows fly straight over my head seconds later. I took a high crow from the three remembering the lessons les had taught me previously. The crow dropped stone dead in to deep brambles so was left where it fell. This first shot disrupted the main rabbit field adjacent to the yard so that blew any chances of a rabbit for the pot this time round.

I have those slippers good shooting tho fella

Thatchers Gold for me :blink: Or a good bottle of Westons. Or even better a keg of scrumpy from sheppys just outside wellington

Yeah I read somewhere on here that they aren't allowed to use millitary calibres for hunting so the .222 may very well be popular on the continent.

I think (just my opinion from what i have heard) that the ammo is difficult to aqquire compared to a .223. Thats what my 'mentor' said anyway. Apart from that I dont think there is a noticeable difference, but I dont really knw as I dont own a centrefire or have FAC. Harris

I think they are probably in the local town terrorising members of the public or snacking on some children

In the middle of a business studies lesson at school when our teacher looked up from his PC and told us and then put BBC news up on the interactive whiteboard while we supposed to carry on working but just watched the updates in disbelief.

I dont know what these are like personally but i have always fancied apair myself Look the business and from a reputable company so i imagine they will be ok. http://www.bushwear.co.uk/styles.php?Produ...amp;ClassID=261 HARRIS
