  3. Sorry to bring this up again but I had too

    How do you know this? what if the dogs were both on leads and the lab passed the staffy?

    Dont get me wrong I have nothing against the breed, my sister had one and it was a lovely dog, If it has bitten once, chances are it will do it again..

    Well I would have thought if his dog was on a lead he wouldn't have let it go near the staffy.

    I also have nothing against the breed, I think all dogs should be on a lead.

    im not going to get into a slanging match here. yes, the law is open to interpretation regarding your dog being under control, but i suggest you read this defra leaflet

     

    http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/welfare/do...wyouleaflet.pdf

     

    specifically the bit that says -

     

    Any dog is dangerously out of control if:

    • it injures a person, or

    • it behaves in a way that makes a person worried that it might injure them.

     

    now my reading of that is that all it would take is for your dog to be off a lead and run up to say hello (in a friendly manner) to a child, someone panics and reports it, and then youre gonna be in a world of ****.

    This happened to my nephew & niece while I had them out in the park playing with a football. Now I didn't report anyone for this but I did have a word with the owner and got the usual "the dog won't hurt anyone, it was just saying hello". Well try telling a 7yo & 4yo this when a dog is running at them and they only think the dog is coming to attack them. That happened around 13 years ago and now those kids are 20 & 17 and still very nervous when a dog is off the lead.

     

    I agree with those saying that your dog should have been on a lead and I understand your dog might be very friendly and wouldn't harm anyone or another dog, but please understand other peoples feelings and realise that your actions could have a very long lasting effect. 13 years (and counting) in the case of the owner I had dealings with.

    Finally hard evidence of ONE failure.

     

    Not essentially a flood though is it. I am guessing that no one has ever suffered a failure with any other make of gun??

    Here is a couple of pics of another Escort barrel, this one was bought from the same shop as the Escort I witnessed and the owner is a friend of Si-Bore on here.

  11. 2 pigeons with 1 shot

    in Sporting Pictures

    Posted

    Went to my permission on saturday and the farmer said that the fields were getting hit by pigeons so off I went to see if I could get any. Weather not really in my favour and not that many pigeons around so decided to try and shelter under some trees and to my suprise a pigeon lands in the next tree to me. I was trying to get a good aim on the pigeon through the branches and got into position to fire when another pigeon landed right next to the first one, bang and 2 dropped! Now that is how to save money on cartridges. :good:

     

    This is just how they landed. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ended the day with 7 pigeons and 2 rooks but could only retrieve 5 pigeons

  13. Two Way Radio

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    I use the Motorola TLKR T7 radios and they work very well and are great fun for taking the ****, but don't believe all the hype about the range of the radio's.

     

    *How far can I expect my radios to communicate? The communication range quoted is calculated based on an unobstructed line of sight test under optimum conditions. Actual range will vary depending on terrain and conditions, and is often less than the maximum possible. Your actual range will be limited by several factors including, but not limited to: terrain, weather conditions, electromagnetic interference, and obstructions.

    The T7's are stated as up to 10km range but to be honest and in real world conditions, you can probably expect around 4km which is good enough for me and ideal for the size of my permission.

  17. Why are Buzzards protected!?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I have brown hair and I wasn't sure if the buzzard had mistaken me for a big, slow rabbit so I decided not to take any chances and invested in a hat.

    I bet he had to invest in new pants also as that must have been a brown trouser moment when that thing hit him. :good:
