spurs 14

I was same as you , hummed and ha for a while , price was putting me off had the usual ear defenders and had even bought some plugz , the home mouldable ones , they were ok then at the game fair last year went for it had some fitted and got them a month later ,think the firm was ‘ custom ear plugs ‘ mercury ‘ based in Crawley Sussex , £75 all in . Standard shooting ones not digital all singing but one of the best things I’ve bought and used

Still not bad return ,5% on the millions that they turn over , no major overheads as in factory’s or buying in stock or actually manufactured goods ,robbing people may be harsh but what else can you call it when you’re offered one price , turn it down and they immediately offer you a better price

Oh my apologies! A professional moby !!!

So first impression was right , he is a moby !!!

Seems like a lot of companies have no idea about customer loyalty! Keep your customers happy and they stay with you ! Not rocket science , why are all the super deals only available to new customers ? Same with the tv companies in the last seven years we have had sky , bt and virgin , same with car and house insurance change every year !

That tickled me !!!

Looks good , have fun with it

Welcome please come in sit down and pay attention , then join in the madness

It happened again , car insurance renewal came today from Halifax , usual don’t worry sir we will renew automatically for only £35 more than what you paid last year despite having not claimed !!!! Not a chance , ring to cancel suffer usual taped **** for ten minutes then in a line for ten minutes , finally get a Human on the line ! Oh let me check that for you , you may be entitled to a discount £30 straight off price ,no thank you please cancel ! Why cant they offer the best price in first place instead of trying to rob them .? Do that many people just renew without checking ? Can’t believe it’s not good business practise but there you go On to compare the market again and got same price as last year !

What a moby !!!

That’s the one ! Have been out in allweathers in mine , if it’s cold plenty of layers and you do need heavy rain to get through it , cinch the waist draw strings up Velcro on cuffs and neck , no wind getting through , don’t think you will be disappointed

Go for the standard issue military jacket ,not goretex one , silent ! , the army system is built on layering and works ,

Have a look at current mtp British military jackets , new or surplus , warm , hard wearing , big pockets , great camopattern for uk , not waterproof - shower proof , but as stated if it’s waterproof you will sweat in it ! ,

thanks for all replies , really looking forward to it now !

Did anyone see the article in shooting times ? , seems that the Liverpool mayor has lost the city five million pound in revenue by banning the proposed shooting show that was planned ! Another case of an anti in power making a decision without looking at all the facts ! , seems he banned it because of trophy hunting , didn’t want to promote hunting trips and trophy hunting , even though there were to be none at the show ! Lets hope the people of Liverpool who would have benefited show some sense and get rid of a man who clearly puts his own agenda before the people and city that employ him !

All the very best to everyone on the forum , hope everyone has their health and happiness through the new year , cheers

I’m on Suffolk / Cambs border here and we havnt had much in the way of rabbits for couple of years odd ones about but nothing like it used to be , hares are like rocking horse sh@@e ,

Sounds good will post up after I’ve been cheers for all the comments

Have a look at the six mile bottom shoot , just outside Newmarket ,Suffolk , that’s who I got booked in with , only heard good things about them , there’s a good website and a clip on you tube ,

Hi thanks for all the advice and tips above If you mean the day I’m not 100% as it was a pressie but I believe it was around £170 , which I guess is dearer than just clays at a ground , but never done one before so it will be an experience , and much cheaper than an actual game shoot , it’s a start with bacon rolls , coffee, then on to the drives , five in all with a stop for snacks then it ends with drinks and a steak dinner I thought it sounded good value , looking forward to it but it’s not til end of March

Not sure if it’s still the case but they used to advise you to change the make of wormer every so often , I believe so dog or worms didn’t build up an immunity

I’m another one who wouldn’t put it past him for it to be a publicity stunt organised by themselves , can’t think of any one in the shooting world who would think this is a good idea , like the bashing a fox against the antis car !!!?, person unknown by the hunt and no hunt follower is going to do this , problem is as soon as it hits the media it happened and it’s gospel , poor c w wouldn’t lie !!!

Not sure where it was but there was one for sale on the forum recently , have a look in other sales ,

Please don’t let any of this worry you , it’s not a quiz or an interview , it really is a sit down with a cuppa and a talk , why you want one , your use of it , where will it be kept , are you in a shooting club , and for you to ask him any questions they will know all they need to by talking to you they are not there to catch you out , be yourself and be honest , I can still remember mine and I was worrying about it for ages ! The guy couldn’t have been nicer and the different feo ‘s who have been since on the renewals were great , put in for it the only time I’ve heard of refusals is if you had a police record with serious crimes on it , a record of violence or currently being treated as a manic depressive ,

Thanks guys looks like 21g will be the way to go , don’t think heat build up will be too big a problem , they were saying it’s normally around 250 cartridges fired , but that is spread over five drives I believe , cheers
