  1. Difficult to put a price on one of these - anyone who has one simply assumes they are priceless - I tend to agree.
  2. Plug the jackets connectorter in and press the power bank on button once. Press the switch on the jacket and hold till it lights up - should be red - press again for next power level down and again for economy setting. Press the jacker button for at least 2 seconds and the jacket will switch off - then press your power bank switch twice in quick succession to turn it off. If the power bank turns on automatically when you first plug the connector in just turn it off then on again.Wore mine yesterday under my £6 Aldi waterproof - was lashing it down but I was toasty.
  3. Hated my 95 - although it pulled off the longest shot ever it normally loved Wildlife, jumped like a goosed Vicars wife and got me arrested for shooting it 6" outside my permission.
  4. An innocent citizen of this country has been killed - if the driver has nothing to hide then why run? If I were the parents of the Motorcyclist I would be creating merry hell.
  5. My Dogs safety is paramount to me - wouldn't ask him to go anywhere I wouldn't.
  6. Ditchman, you've done far worse for a drag on a Dog end. Friends of ours have a Bracco cross - massive dog but so gentle and his growl is like a Lion roar.
  7. Agreed ,JTaylor91, but most people would have a fair selection of pics of their own dog + some of the pics on this thread are superb - be a pleasure to look at some of them every morning. Pic by oowee on 26th Aug for example - outstanding.
  8. Still don't understand why, with the quality of some of these pictures, PW don't organise a Calendar with 13 of the best, picked by PW members in. say, september each year, and sell it ?
  9. Not much use to you I know but a few years back we were asked to clear a few Hares off a large estate - there were hundreds in the fields and we set to work with the .22lr's. We shot around 20 a session for just over a month but getting rid of the dead was a bit of a conundrum. After a bit of thought we decided to try a local pub/restaurant (we used to shoot Rats in their chicken run) and they said they would put jugged Hare on the menu and see how it went. They had 5 to start with but within a week the owner was on the phone asking for as many as we could get as the dish was pulling customers from miles away - they sold out every night the dish was cooked.
  10. I keep a keysafe quite close to my cabinet - but the keys inside don't fit the cabinet - guess it's going to waste someones time if they ever got past the security system.
  11. When you get older and suffer poor circulation, or with some diseases or medication, your body simply cannot handle the cold - I have shot in weather when I was younger that physically made my mate cry with cold. With many more years behind me, and a medical history that I will not bore you with, I now shiver around 5 degrees - merino wool, padded shirts, Army extreme weather boiler suits - tried em all but to no avail hence the new experiment with heated clothing.So far it seems to be the best by a mile - it's no thicker than a wool shirt but is very warm even on it's lowest setting. Spoke to a local seamstress today re jacket being too small - she informs me that she can make an insert - zipped both sides to attach to the jackets zip, for a couple of quid - result.
  12. Great - surely thousands must die in the UK now that farmers have decided that Autumn is a great time to cut hedges back - along with the fruit and berries that they hold.
  13. Someone has put this together, in my opinion, the case and extra forend have been added to the fairly common twin barrel set - nice enough though, nowt wrong with Baikal's.
  14. Mice - she was launching Superdomes rather impressively but they took some persuading into the breach - Air Fective noticed that the indent that locates the barrel was damaged and could be allowing te barrel to move under force - they replaced it in seconds but I am reluctant to use SD's again just in case. She's back on a diet of FTT at the moment and seems a very happy Cat indeed but I'm pretty sure that over penetration is going to be worse now that she is spitting them out so close to the limit - it's a case of hearing the pellet strike the second that you feel the sear trip. Was getting acceptable groups with the Hunter Extremes but the new Hades look promising when the smaller calibre is available. Used to love thread cutting - so easy on a CNC ( G76?) and found taper threads ( R- ?) the most interesting - annoying sometimes to think that all your precision work is then fitted by a 20 stone monkey using a heavy pipe wrench.
  15. I feel exactly the same way the last few years shooting alone - it's getting to a point where I prefer to take someone out on my perm and just watch the action.
  16. Dunhill is very classy but I love jean paul gaultier - one in the body shaped bottle. Until about 10 years ago I worked in a scrap yard - so many cars had aftershave in the glove box that I never had to buy any till about 2 years back.
  17. old'un - they run the same as most mobile phones - 5v - you can charge the power banks using your phone charger USB adaptor - the power bank comes with a lead with the male USB on the end - mine is identical to ebay item 133181308298 but got mine slightly cheaper on Amazon.If it's any help re sizing I am 46" chest , 47@ round the ,er, fat bit and 93kg - the xxxxl is tight.
  18. TBH Mice - once Stu and I have decided exactly what colour Tank Tops to wear together I was going to offer you the chance to be just like us - you've gone and blown it now - so the Tank Top Twins it shall remain.......your loss, I only hope you come to realise how close you became to being a fashion Icon.
  19. Absolutely shameless advert for these guys - I have no connection with them (wish I did) but after watching Liam strip and repair my Wildcat before my very own eyes I am literally gobsmacked at the level of workmanship and attention to detail given to parts of my rifle that I didn't even know existed. Hands up I had made my FX Wildcat poorly with fiddling but Liam simply dismantled/rebuilt her without even a break in conversation and returned her to me with many new parts and smoother than before including an energy level print out to dream of - all for a price that I am too embarrassed to admit incase they have made a mistake and come chasing me for the extra. If you have a PCP, or indeed any type of Air Rifle, that needs attention then do yourselves a huge favour and take it to these guys cos if we ever lose them, for whatever reason, it's going to be a massive loss to the Airgun community.
  20. If you are xl you will need xxxxl trust me - the xxxxl are tight on me and I'm xxl.
  21. No smell or mess from the heated jackets - 3 settings and I reckon the highest would make toast. Instructions are awful - standard Chines translation that could equate to anything from changing the batteries in your LED Santa to adjusting the headlights on a 1995 Nissan Sunny.
  22. johnphilip - yup - 12 different meds/day - cold most likely due to poor circulation and heart failure + my blood is kept "thin" to ensure good supply to organ transplants. As pointed out, these do not come with a power bank - mine, as said, is a 25800mAh and seems to be a bit of over kill - kept jacket at 25 degrees for 5 ish hours then recharged my iphone 5 days running before dropping 25% charge. Jackets come with an inside pocket that also has the male USB connector and about 6 inches of lead - batteries weigh about 300 grams and have the added bonus of being able to charge your mobile if you get the right lead (you most likely already have one) while still keeping you warm.
  23. As a self confessed Captain Frosty I feel the cold something terrible during the Winter months - anything below around 6-7 degrees and I'm a shivering wreck. So I have been trawling the interweb for a possible answer and have come up with cheap heated jackets from the land of the Takeaway. The princely sum of £18 on the bay of plenty gets you a gillet style jacket that takes about 3 weeks to arrive - however your first obstacle is the Chinese idea of sizing - I;m an xxl but their xxxxl is too small but I can just squeeze into it. Next you need a power bank - I paid £16 on Amazon for a 28500maH unit that came next day via prime. So what's the deal? Well, so far, I have only had one opportunity to try it (about a week ago when it was 5 degrees early in the morning) - I have to say that, first impressions, it is pretty darn good - the battery takes 10 hours to charge ( lead comes with the battery and charges via a USB socket) but the jacket will then stay warm for at least 5 hours at it's lower setting (lower setting feels like having the sun on your back) and probably far longer, in fact, after 5 hours the battery was not showing any drop in charge and I'm fairly confident that 12 hours would be easily attainable. On it's highest setting the jacket runs at 36 degrees which is too warm for even me at the moment but as it gets colder outside who knows?
  24. I charge my 410 to 170 - gives around 40 shots with no drop whatsoever down to 100 bar ish.
