For me it’s more natural and comfortable to shoot gun down , just seems most of my shooting this is the way so why change for the odd clay ? Sight picture is much better gun down ! And as mentioned on a game day or walked up or even a sim day it’s gun down but as previously said do whatever is most comfortable if you’re only shooting clay#

Hi , you’re near my neck of the woods but haven’t shot out that way only one I know of close to there is Churchill’s near Dereham , you wouldn’t be too far from eriswell which is lakenheath , there I know and it’s well worth a visit , another idea would be to have a look at quidenham simulated shoot which is near snetterton , the race track check see if you can get a sim day while there check the website , been there couple times had a fantastic time well worth it

I’ve been on a few sim days and if you go on a good one you will enjoy it ! , food and drinks , snacks etc , hot cold drinks and a great lunch , usually 4/5 drives on the day , you can up the pace @nd let rip or treat it like a game day and pick your birds , compared to a game day for the price difference they do fill a gap in the market ! Go with an open mind you will enjoy it

Diesels do love fresh oil !

If it’s secure when your feo comes to check , as in if he pulls and prods it it doesn’t move and there’s no gap to the back of it some Scrote could put a pry bar in to then I think you will be fine , they may ask about fixings but the word “ bolt “ is normally good enough

Another shout for altberg , had them years , still plenty of life in them

Our local has a musket on wall just placed on two wooden dowels , simple , classy you look at musket not the mount

Go with tailored so much more comfortable and look a lot better

I’ve a td5 110 and was seriously waiting on the new defender coming out with a view to buying one !,,,, but no ! I’m not , it’s the price putting me off mostly , the fact they are so posh , for want of a better word , inside and there’s just way too many electrics ! I wanted a new reliable workhorse I can throw wet dogs in , muddy coats , wellies and not worry I’m still in two minds about what to get , so disappointed with jlr , at minute I’m favouring an Isuzu

Ditto the above have used them for bits on a few occasions , always the right parts delivered quickly at good price , what’s not to like !

Hello mate , welcome aboard , have fun

Hi , sorry to hear about your problem , I’d be as above sit back give it a little time then start looking into it , but I would say it’s probably worth joining basc and using their specialists when you’re ready to pursue this , good luck

Start slowly get bits as you go along , get a dozen half shell decoys that will get you shooting tuck yourself into a hedge line or under a tree , keep movement to a minimum , next add a camo net you can get away without using poles , use branches or canes , poles obviously make it easier , don’t fall into the trap of thinking you need everything at once to get started , a lot of it is fieldcraft not gear I’ve had cracking days when I’ve stood under a tree with half a dozen shell decoys and the birds were suicidal decoying in and I’ve had days when I’ve had a hide up , magnets , floaters , decoys and hardly fired a shot !

These are bit more than your budget but well worth it , vortex crossfire , bought an 8x42 pair , think I paid around £150, fantastic quality, lifetime guarantee and come with a padded chest harness , I was like you didn’t want to spend a fortune but glad I spent a little extra !

Dropped hints this morning of a reduction in boots on the ground and increase in new technology !

We’ve all stuck together and it’s hopefully nearing an end with the vaccinations and warmer weather coming ,it’s at last going the right way , yes I’m desperate to get out, need a haircut , want to see family etc but let’s all stick it out for a bit longer and finish this

I’m a member of basc but this is a no for me ! All my shooting is legal , follow the licenses and have permissions so that’s it for me , no need to record it

As said it’s movement that will give you away stay still till you’re ready to fire

Just don’t see many about the area now , up the permission there’s one or two but mixy has got hold of them , used to see a lot on the margins and roadside between us and most of the villages , nothing now never saw many on the training grounds , they were quickly jumped on in bygone years

As said if you go cold tarmac route , seal the edges , it’s the undoing of 90% of repairs , water seeps in and sits under waiting for the chance to freeze and lift the patch out ! Or if the area is big enough to hold large area of water will lift anyway ,

Hi, anyone got any rabbits , in skin or jointed , need a couple close to Newmarket, Suffolk , many thanks

Hearing that I think I would swerve it , sounds like it may have been a lease car usually on a three year deal , so 37000 miles each year is quite hefty ! , try not to get swayed by all the extras it’s the main items you need to check as previously said gearbox , waterpump , etc , at the end of the day if it’s what you want go for it , German engineering is fantastic but that can come at a cost over parts etc

Would put me off I’m afraid , regardless of service history , approx twice average mileage for year , check reason for this if it’s done lots of motorway miles not so bad if it’s been a taxi with lots of stop /starts not so good if it was a hgv not a problem Diesel engine , governed speed , long journeys ,regular servicing but a car to me ! I’d swerve it unless it’s an absolute give away price

As you say you have permissions so the hard part is done , put a shout out on here for some company I’m sure you will get plenty of replies ,

I use their hide poles , work great ! ,
