Hi aubs what do you mean pigeons dont like beans last year my mate Mr Fixit in suffolk shot 117 in one day on beans then went back the next day and shot another 59 if thats pigeons not liking beans ill eat hay with a donkey. our northern pigeons must be different than those in the south. see attached http://img211.echo.cx/my.php?image=rim000584fz.jpg http://img135.echo.cx/my.php?image=tmp36pa.jpg

if you had your location in your profile i could tell u how far we are apart Good one Tommy :( :( :( :( :thumbs:

hi aubs im 25 + miles further north than thirsk not seem to much hope the lists come out soon let me know when you get yours. i have just joined and john told me to go and have a look at some fields near where i shoot that are on the list (all rape) saw a few pigeons but how do you decoy on rape 3ft high. so waiting for some new lists. Mike :< :< :< :< :<

thats easy you dont need written permission for to shoot verbal is all you need wether or not you use FAC. Mike

the new Weihrauch silencer is better than the logan silencer and it fits the theoben mk2 but you have to have the barrel threaded mine puts out 26ftlbs and is as quiet with this on as it was with the original silencer at 12ftlbs. hope this helps. Mike PS and the Weihrauch silencer is quite cheap only about £35

thanks ferretmanabu have tried the web its dead easy to find right fields and then print out or transfer to bigger map. thanks for all the advise. mike

you could be right about the price for first gun but you can pick up some good secondhand one from the shooting mags for about the £500 mark. its one of the best to convert to FAC and still give a good number of shots.i thought that was the intention and by paying the little bit extra could save money in the long run. my thinking could be wrong. another good pcp for the price is the falcon FN19 and FN12 range you can pick them up cheap and they are a good gun.

you should consider the THEOBEN mk2 it is a good gun gives about 500 shots in .22 before the bottle needs filling and is easy to convert to FAC status Ben Taylor the Ben in theoben has a place near cambridge he does the upgrade while you wait he took mine up to 26ftlbs and i still get 120 shots from a full bottle. its a very accurate gun but they all are if you put the practice in and PCP are good to shoot with a lot quieter than springers. :unsure: B)

try E-Bay loads on there. Mike

Anschutz thumbhole stock carbine smile. B) take some beating. Mike :unsure:

cheers AUBS that seems straight forward even for me.
