Need a wee bit help please, we lost out wee farm where we shot pheasants, they weren’t tall and mostly jumping hedgerows, so my 410 was perfect. Now we are on to another shoot with slightly taller trees but nothing massive I was going to change to 28g
I just need cartridge recommendations please, hoping to get a cartridge that has game shot size and clay shot size so I can use the same load to practice then on live game.
Any help appreciated!

Apparently the NEC has sold the Parking rights to an outside company who obviously want to maximise profits!😕
People on Twitter claiming they have just been at another event there and parking was free!

Has anyone seen the pricing for kids
£15.50 for under 15s
So my 3 and 7 year old would be £31 plus your parking fee!

Anyone got one lying about?
thanks in advance

The accuracy is supposed to improve as parallax error is reduced.
A few years ago the similar MTC VIPER CONNECT was fashionable, and people did win HFT events with them. It must work OK as it still sells.
For target shooting they are fine. For target and game, I prefer a Hawke Panorama - nice fine reticle and clear sight picture. Your eyes are not mine though.
Interesting thank you, it’s the field of view that interests me for quick target acquisition, ie following squirrels through trees
-
Just a quick question, these scopes, is it possible to get the same type of accuracy from these as a regular type scope?

Waxoyl is for inside cavity’s, use dinitrol 4941 black on the outside of the chassis
put a garden hose up the inside and wash it clean first before doing the inside

Hello, perhaps the OP has found a cheap PCP 🤔,
Not yet, ideally .22 single or multi shot not fussed, narrowly missed out on a Walther rm8 for £260, that was a cheap gun 🤷♂️
are the logun mk2 professionals any good?
-
Anyone got one of these manually indexable multi shot adapters?
-
Just after a bit advice, looking for a cheap pcp to shoot squirrels, something secondhand, accurate and preferably a British or reputable brand, condition isn’t that important more reliability and accuracy.
I seen things like logun mk2 professionals, logun solo, Webley and bsa guns!
any help is appreciated as I’m not sure on the guns that might have known faults and cause me bother buying secondhand
-
Ooft that’s a sweet gun!

I’ve got them and I love them, could hear the beaters slagging my mates who couldn’t hit a bird to save themselves, my hearing aids lol

A couple of suggestions from my experience-
your feed tray looks big so when the squirrel is in it, it may not present itself for a clean shot
often a squirel will take a peanut(if thats your bait)and go and sit on the lid to eat it but yours is very sloped so would not be possible
I use two different type of feeders, a flip top one so the squirrel has to lift the lid, this has a projecting front which the squirrel sits on,the second style
has an opening at the front like yours with a small hopper but a shelf either side of the feeder for the squirrel to sit on,this usually makes the squirrel sit face on to you.
If I have any pictures of mine somewhere I will upload some pics.
Thank you for this and also the pictures, I’ll give a little thought to the next batch

You could just bolt a plate on so you can adjust the flow rate of the feed, see how it goes.
With it being an open feeder you'll need a camera to know what's taking the feed.
I did this on some open feeders because the squirrels were pulling the feed out looking for the good bits, it kept the pigeons off as well. It's just a bit of joist hanger.
I could weld a hinge on so that the part of the hinge hangs over the hole!
take it those trail cameras are the way to go?

Well they won't chew that.
Opening looks a bit big so the food might come out a bit fast, and the birds will help themselves.
You think I should half it and weld a plate over?

This is my first attempt with the squirrel feeder, anyone got any tips? Putting it up tomorrow 👍

I bought mines the short version of these, she hadn’t had cold feet with them on
-
The only thing I’d say with pull through sharpeners is to buy a few, they get worn and if you can’t get the same one then you’ll get another and the rod angles will be different and all your hard work will start again!
I have a pull through I used on a works leather man for years and like it, I’m tempted to buy the worksharp pull through, it looks neat
