  1. Yes got to agree with that , think it’s still £45 for the year and it’s what they do , game management
  2. The “ home “ series of books , by author “a american “ there’s about nine books in the series read them through probably three times , survivalist theme , man in USA getting back to and looking after his family after an emp has hit
  3. I guess you can overshoot a permission , it’s difficult sometimes between getting out and getting the birds and keeping the farmer happy , needs to see you doing a job for him , in his eyes you being there firing shots and scaring them away is a result , he’s not interested in you getting big bags because you left it alone for three weeks ! You will come to a compromise that works for you if you’re permission is big enough split it into areas , down our way it’s very quiet at minute no large numbers of pigeons , few crows but still get up couple of times a week , even if one time is just a wander with the gun and a handful of carts
  4. Hi sorry don’t know how to do links but I think the video you’re after was on the fieldsports channel on you tube , think the head line was “ coppers top tips for hitting back at antis “ , hope this helps
  5. I guess in the simplest terms is if you’re shooting within your range capabilities, as in judging it, and within the range of your cartridge , you put the shot in the right spot they will drop regardless of which one you bought I know many shooters who will buy the cheapest cartridges available at the time , clays or pigeons couple I know just use 28/7s for everything some are brand loyal and use only one or two carts for clay /game
  6. It can be done but as said in previous posts it’s difficult , last year had a couple of trips out after a fox up permission , baited a spot and sat out at dusk with a squeaker , could hear it but couldn’t draw it out for a shot , two nights was like this then nothing !
  7. Don’t worry there’s a lot of us in the same boat , our way there’s not much about at the minute was up farm this morning no pigeons about , very still day nothing on osr , you can’t shoot what’s not there , keep an eye on the fields they will be about at some point ,, keep the farmer happy and show your face and have a wander when you can Good luck
  8. Pays to change things if it’s all quiet !
  9. Don’t think you can go far wrong with altberg , I’ve been using them for years , summer I’ve used their desert boot for last few years and winter or wet weather their defender boot , look after them and they last sole will wear out first ,
  10. And can I personally say thank you , you have succeeded where professional people have failed !!! You have instantly cured me of a nurse fetish I have had for many years ! Think it was the black stockings , ? Or the carry on films , ? Anyway that image is now gone !! The wife asked me if you could take two French maids next time , I’d be nearly normal !!!
  11. Well done bud , now go enjoy it , look after it and it’s a win win !
  12. Got some osr here on permission , coming along nicely , has been hit by pigeons but nothing like last year , been on it a couple of times and can’t get them to decoy in on it , not seeing the numbers at moment think they are spread thin no shortage of food
  13. I’ve been using the game bore clear pigeon 6 - 30 g carts , like them , but that is through a semi auto so recoil feels nominal

    Mot

    I try too, but some cases it’s an individuals take , play in the wheel bearing ? just right . . Bit sloppy ? Advisory ! Bit much fail ! Same with the emission test , I plan for it to pass then hope.

    Mot

    Made up ! Took defender in for mot , passed with just one advisory ! , no laughing now .......... it was for slight oil leak ! , always a dodgy time you never know what they might pick up on , 2005 few things getting bit worn and weary ......... the owners the same !
  16. As above , you might get nominal movement , but not enough that you’re asking about it !
  17. Havnt seen it , can you put a link to it .? Cheers
  18. I hope that catches on ! Cracking idea !
  19. Yep you’re spot on , never looked just replied to comment as it came up on new content ,
  20. Wouldn’t have thought so , I’ve found the hatsans to be solid and reliable if it’s not seating when slamming forward I’d say something is a little amiss ,I’d return it to dealer and let them have a look or return to importer , think it’s Edgar bros , if it’s working when you push bolt forward can’t thing much is wrong snagging on something if the slide and bolt assy are clean , oily ? Pop back to your dealer
  21. Very good of you to put it here for the members , well done , brace yourself for the rush !
  22. Just got home here , wind been getting highbrow and started raining here half hour ago , quite heavy , no damage as yet , stay safe everyone
  23. When you’re loading are you using the bolt release button and letting the bolt slam home , they are designed for this but I know one or two people hold the charging handle and slide it forward thinking it’s kinder for the gun so it doesn’t seat correctly, if not I would pull it down and give it a good clean
