Nice Shooting

Always nice a walk with the rifle in the fresh air whether you shoot any thing or not. Nice Shooting

nice shooting

Shot one Friday, walked up to 20 yards little ****** couldn't see a thing. Only one I've seen but one of the other guys that shoots their said he'd had a couple aswell

Cheers I thought it might be that aswell. Although the moderator was second hand, and when I just checked it I couldn't get the extraction tool down the centre. Got it all apart now and found the baffles were in the wrong way round and it was caked in power residue. Should have checked before putting on rifle Wonder if bullet just catching the baffles. Cleaned now and reassembled correctly. I assumed it would be alright the first time. We have a saying at work 'assumption is the mother of all f### ups'. Gonna pop out and retry. Cheers

Hi, Can anyone shed some light on this: Marlin 22lr. Had barrell screwcut and fitted a 22 silencer (parker) grouping all over the place at 50 yards. Moved into 20 yards to test on same target first shot 1" down and 1" to the right, same A4 target second shot 1" down but 1" to the left. At that range there's no way my shot was out, played around for an hour (must have used 30 rounds) but can't get any consistancy. Any ideas.

Nice shooting 2 hours! Never had it that good

I used the 8 shot escort magnum. Been out with it tonight, after a long day in a hot office needed a little fresh air. popped out at 6, 2 hours with the shotgun and 1 1/2 hour with the rifle home by 10. 13 pigeons (2 landed in next field) & 5 rabbits with the rifle in another field.

Nice Shooting

The farmer rang me on Thursday, the pigeons kept bombing his barley field from the powerlines and was I coming over Friday. Well does a bear #### in the woods, I work a four day week so always shooting on a Friday. Arrived at the barley field about 7:15 only a couple of pigeons on the powerlines, but couldn't get near them without doing more damage to the crops. Tried pulling them over to me with decoys but no joy. (barley was wet from dew, now had to go back to the 4x4 for dry waterproof trousers. ) No wind, no interest from the 6 pigeons sat on the line by 10:00 not even fired a shot yet. Thought I might aswell go and try the linseed field as not having any joy here. Packed up and with 10 mins setup in the linseed oil fields. 11:45 still not fired a shot, no wind and no interest what so ever in the decoys. Time to packup and try for a couple of rabbits with the rifle in the grass fields before heading home. 12:00 final fired a shot and nailed a rabbit. Now could I nail one of the magpies in the fields near the A420 with the rabbit as bait. Put a magpie decoy out stood over the rabbit, headed back to the 4x4 50 yards away. Got in and looked at my decoy, then took a second look. It wasn't a decoy but a real magpie, fired missed sumed up my day really. Drove around the field but crops and hedgerow so high now couldn't see anything apart from the white tail of an odd rabbit running for cover. 12:30 had enough now but as I pulled out of this field the wind had picked up and I had an erge to check out a field at the edge of my permission. Full of pigeons. Floored the 4x4 though the field and set up the decoys, by 16:00 had 15 pigeons and a crow. Happy now head home driving past the barley field the powerlines were sagging because every line was full of pigeons :o might have to pop back their with the air rifle.

Nice Bag

Nice one, love that thud

Nice bag Always struggle to attratch crows with decoys myself, even using the dead ones.

Nice shooting Always nice to have a bit of banter while your out with a mate.

Nice shooting

Nice shooting Great pics.

Cheers guys, been keeping an eye on the linseed oil. They didn't seem interested until it was between 6" & 12" high.

Great day, started off this morning at 7:30 finished 12:30. 23 pigeons and 1 crow. (2 ended up in a different field) Missed a few easy ones though Learn a new trick today, if it goes quiet just pop out from the hide to collect the dead or pop to vehicle for more cartridges and they appear from everywhere and take off in the opposite direction :blink:

if you want brand new I got mine from here, Mole Valley cheapest I've found good for decoys aswell

If your after cheap camo netting and decoys I get mine from http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/default.aspx

Nice, I've got the 628 never had a problem always performs.
