Cheers guys, it a multi choke so no issues in that side of things.

Hi I have a lanber 12g sporter, 3" chamber but am trying to decipher the proof markings. Serial number decodes as 13-03-05 which is Lanber, shotgun, 2005 (year of manufacture) As I believe the following 1st is Eibar proof house (Spanish) 2nd is Nitro proof 3rd can't find out what it is Anybody able to shed any light on this as I am trying to work out what steel shot I can use if any

One other thought on this that my wife had issues with..... Bra straps. Make sure she wears a bra with the buckles at the back and not the front, it does make a difference.

I Have 2 12g SxS, an 1987 ARM Sidelock ejector that I use as my main game gun, and an Armstrong 1905 Hammer gun 2.5" chambered, but it had been re-sleeved in the 50s to take nitro carts.] So my go to cart is Gamebore 2.5" 30 / 32gm 65mm in 5 or 6 which ever the local has in stock.

Hi, I have a Beretta extrema 3.5" Synthetic and I love it. Will cycle anything I put thru it, from 32gm 2.5" game carts, 70mm 28gn clay carts as well as the 3" and 3.5" steel carts used for wildfowling and duck flighting. The only thing I have a slight issue with is the distance it throws the empties, especially when on an evening duck flight, and I can hardly find them sometimes. The next time there in daylight they are glaryingly obvious just lying in the reeds around the pond. Is there any sort of "shell catcher" net or bag thing that can be used to catch these. Cheers

Its an Out from me as well.

Hi I have a a bretta 3.5" extrema and it will handle anything I can trho at it. Will take same 65mm / 2.5" game carts as the s/s and hammer gun. Will do a round of clays on 28g no issues. Son has a 3.5" escort that doesnt like the 65mm game carts, however if only loaded with 1 in breach and1 in mag is fine but 3 causes jams. Clays not too much issue as can only load 2 at local clay ground. Will cycle large 3" & 3.5" carts fine. So if issue on cycling shorter try with only 2 if it makes any sense (ie not much point if bought for pigeon). We tend to use our autos for steel shot for the ducks and have other guns for walked up stuff Trev

As above, As long as the gun is a resonable fit, start with light sub sonic carts and can build up from there. Mind youstarted mine on a .410 single and he could still hit the clay on the practice stand. Just used to start them of with 5 or 10 on the practice stand with no one looking and no presure, then build up from there. Trev

Beleive its ileagal to shoot birds with a lamp, so must be done with natural light. As for shooting game birds with a rifle, surley you need an open ticket as if its not on the ticket then you cant shoot it. If they are eaten afterwards, and taken with permission then a head shot with a rifle can be as tricky as a shotgun shot. Trev

Another one who just does the clays, but not the ruff or wildfowling. Both SGC's have all the guns as shared as well. Trev

How, if at all does this comapre / differ from the 4x4 response org. http://www.4x4response.info/forum/ Also with the 4x4 response you get a public liability insurance to cover you for 3rd party liability Trev Hant & Berks 4x4 Response Member

Just remember that there is different rules for duck shooting than to other shooting in regards to where you are, when you can, and mainly that you must use non lead (toxic) shot for them. As you dont show a location in your profile I cant give specifics, but there are certain counties in england where the shooting of wildfowl is banned on sundays, and in England there are different rules as to when & where you use the non toxic shot. Just make sure your permission is covering duck as well as anything else and all should be OK. Trev. PS Feeding ponds and just following the flight lines can be the best bet of a shot.

Hang all my stuff, pigeons, duck, goose, pheasant, rabbit. But only for a couple of days usually *** up to 3-4 if its cold, but normaly shot on a Sat, hung till Tues, dressed and all the bits in the bin for collection on wed. Also would at least hang till the meat is cold as its easier to deal with. Rabbits puanched out as soon as, but hung as per above till skinned. Trev

As above, have had them decoy in to the lab as he was on a retrieve, just cos it was a black blob moving amongst the other decoys. Trev

Well done on both. Might get a lot of stick for the Mac D thing but its a job, and free food if you are a student, and can lead to better thing if you go for the management side

Probably continue growing in hight and length till about 12 - 14 months, then just start bulking up on the physique. So if hes a big bu66er now he still has some growing to do. Trev.

I have one fitted to the 4x4, but the only time I get any "traffic" is when out with few mates in other 4x4's on a lanning trip. They are good to have for that but have only ever heard 1 other person on the radio that wasn't with us in convoy. Trev

Just inform plod when you are going out and if anybody calls them then they know where you are and whats going on. What happens if neihbours are out and come back after you start shooting and complain ?. Best bet imho would be a quick call to plod and leave it at that. Trev

Ok, 2 things here. 1 Goose = Wildfowl means no game Lice reqd. 2 Canda gesse are on the open license and can be taken at any time as are classed as vermin. Game licence has been abolished but dont have link to hand will find it later Trev

Thanks for all the intrest guys. Currently under offer, Trev

I mate, My old bu66er is now comming up 10 years old and he was a return to breeder (free to good home), so as I was looking for a new dog at the time I took pity and had him. Although he is now lying by my feet with the new pup he taught me a couple of things. 1) I wasnt as good with dogs as I thought I was 2) As I didn't have him from a pup (he was 6 months when I got him) we never really made the full bond I did with the other 2 before him and the current one. 3) never again would I have a dog (only bitches) and only from pups. If you have PLENTY of time and experience then I would say go for it, but if its your first one then I would say no. Also depends what you want out of the dog, just you and a bit of ruff, pigeon or wildfowling then if he is not SPOT On then you know its only you that it affects, if he is to be a beating / picking up dog then it may need to be carefull. Also depends on what they are brought back for, my poor bu66er was just left in a kitchen for 6 months and taken out by a "professional" dog walker for an hour a day. When I got him it took a long time to get him back to just doing the basics before starting his real vocational traing. Has been a great dog to me for retreiving of Pheasant, duck, geese, woodcock, rabbit, pigeon ect ect, but still need to be ontop of him. Just my experience of rehomers... trev

Should be there on the Monday as well. First time Iv'e been for a while Trev
