Sweet.

Enjoyed every second of that.

I shot my last hare 30 years ago and swore never to do it again. My choice. My father shot plenty and we ate them all, stewed. But, there's just something about them that lifts them above anything else. Let's not even talk about their mystical associations. Like I say, my choice.

Yes, that's the Mournes. This is my best field but I didn't fire a shot on it this year. There were birds on it during early September but only on flattened patches so I didn't want to wade through the standing barley. My other good field wasn't in barley but silage and nothing there either. Two good days on OSR though.

Seems like a good idea not to show on a forum exactly who you are, especially when a shotgun suitable for Practical Shotgun is concerned with 9, 10, 11 or more capability. There's no compromise with security.

I've chatted to Mason 4796 by PM to explain.

The Mossberg is a classic for good reason, it's great gun. I use mine for Cowboy action and decoying pigeons. I wish it were a multichoke though.

Mason, take down your avatar, if it is yourself.

Never. When reloading collar holding the case is hollow so nothing can set the primer off.

You cannot own an "Assault Rifle" in the UK except for small Calibre .22. I've seen one or two that are straight pull but that is the same as a bolt action rifle. Some who are contributing here seem to have a tenuous grasp of guns in general and who and what you can own. The vast majority of people have no knowledge of shooting and have no sympathy either so we are "easy meat" for legislators who are equally ignorant of firearms. The NRA has grown strong by taking a Not An Inch attitude in the USA. Who could blame them when we see fellow shooters in the UK gladly endorse the banning of guns that they don't have. IT OFFENDS ME AND MY SENSABILITIES SO I WANT IT BANNED.......but never mind the rights of the law abiding minority.

A cf pistol is a 100 % anti personnel gun.it has no hunting or sporting use in my opinion .
And surely practising with them is to prepare for shooting people .
I'm all for supporting other shooting sports and dont agree with the proposed ban on 50. Cal in the UK .
I spent all day yesterday shooting Revolver and pistol and not one of us was "preparing to shoot people". If I hurry I can go out again today with some more decent blokes who shoot cf handguns, bring their own sandwiches, tell tall stories and try hard to beat their friends score in competition. If gun owners are only too willing to join the anti gun lobby then you have every right to be apprehensive for the future.
I live in Norhern Ireland.

Who would be a farmer with our weather. I stopped by this field again to see if it was cut, and maybe to see were any birds flighting in. The Combine has been here for weeks.

Great day in Urbalshinny. And there's a Warblshinny in Derry.

Ollie, I like that video for three reasons: good shooting, well filmed and shows a bag that is not gargantuan. Makes me feel better about my tally.
-
Yeah, the grass is growing up through it. I'm no farmer but it don't look good.
-
I'm trying to post a photo really. This barleyfield was still uncut today. Two sorry looking farmers checking it out when I arrived. Not a bird on it today. Anyway I can see I have succeeded in posting a photo.

Mini rifle competition.

OK, I've got it to work.
-
GREENGRASS, I love your work. Will you say how you post your photos and retain the definition and detail?
-
I wanted to illustrate a point on Guns and Equipment but no joy. I will try imgbb.

I bought a new iPhone with 12mp camera and was looking forward to posting here. I can't do it. Even when reduced to " Small " they won't post. Can we have an update on how others are doing it. PB is history.

I paid £57 for a case of the same,6's, but in fibre wad. I haven't tried them yet.

The HD thing was a mistake, but unless a desire is there for an easing of the restrictions then it will not happen, but the shooting fraternity must show the desire. If you talk it down it will never happen. Northern Ireland, The Islle of Man and the Channel Islands have these rights. Why not everyone else? It would be a long road but only if shooters really want those rights restored.
Holts Sealed Bid Auction
in General Shooting Matters
Posted
I've only bought once but it was a good experience. I was interested in a Lee Enfield SMLE. I bid £115 and got it. Locally I was asked £800 for one. I rang Holts who went and got the rifle and described it over the phone. I was happy. When I got the gun the front sight was loose and was replaced by me. I would not have expected Holts to notice that. I was emailed immediately by them a bit like eBay.
