  1. No offence but you do not understand cycling!! It depends on the discipline but in the Olympics they are allow to draft so team play come into in massively!! You have no chance of winning without playing as team its not cheating! The main problem was team GB did all the work for a start and let the second group break away!! To say Cavendish was not good enough was unfair he could have won the Tour de France this year seaming to be both faster and fitter than Wiggins but it was the team strategy that Wiggins would win the stages with help from Cavendish and the other team members!! It was strategy that let us down! Not the fitness of our cyclists! So no i do not think Cavendish's comments was out of order at all!
  2. gamebore white gold 28g 7.5 are brilliant on pigeons!!

    Shooter.

    900 yard head shot on a bad guy moving in a convoy, followed by several more in quick succession, I think you were far too kind with your review. i rather like Shooter, maybe the film expendables may be more up your street
  6. No one gets a good deal on new hunters, over priced **** that perishes after 1 years. This has been the case ever since they moved production to china. Do yourself a favour and buy a pair of le chameau's,iv had one pair for five years and still as good as new!!!
  7. Dont ring them call round, much more chance of getting some permission.
  8. To increase English Partridge numbers you should shoot the birds that pair up the earliest. The older brids pair up first and demand a bigger teritory than younger ones, so by shooting pairs in December you should end up with more breading pairs of partridges in an area.
  9. Everything is late this years as well, we havent had much decent sunshine! Sorry to be doom and gloom!
  10. What dont people understand, the royal bring more revenue to the country than they take away! The least we can do is show our support for the queen who has been force to dedicate her life to seving Great Britan and her empires.
  11. The queen has offered a great sevice to the country over her life time, that is what we are celebrating. She was even in the womans land army during world war 2 and how she managed to stand waving for four hours on sunday i do not know. The royals live a good life dont get me wrong buts its one they have thrust upon them, constantly under the scrunity off the press and having to preform their public and national duties. In some ways there lives are not so different from a serving member of the MOD .
  12. if your near grimsby Robert Jobson at White Lodge Shooting school is by far the best place to go for a lesson!!
  13. word of advive, i wouldnt have a co2 gun, they cost a fortune to run and or dependant on temperature ie a warm day power increases, cold day power decreases!!!
  14. of course you can mention the brand of cartridge uses, as long as your not lieing!! come on!!
  15. I think the main reason is pigeon have a greater choice on where to feed. With large amount of rape being farmed they are not concentrated to feed in certain fields. Fields are also a lot larger now than they used to be, i dont think this helps decoying.
  16. I find it a very good friendly place to shoot!! It has a very good range of targets and plently of people happy to help.
  17. They are good scopes for the money but a bit overkill for an airgun. A 3-9x40 will be plenty for air gun ranges.
  18. i had one and everything that could go wrong did, i was not very impressed with mine and managed to achieve good groups. I would save up a bit more and buy a weirhrauch, much better gun with much better build quality!
  19. I dont use one! for day time vermin shooting they may be ok, but useless when lamping rabbits or foxes, you simply do not have the time especially on foxes. It does not take long before you are able to judge ranges quite well with out using a range finder.
  20. just my opinion but maybe 8-32 is a bit overkill for anyones need's. You may be better of sacrificing some mag for glass quality. A 6-24x50 may be more suitable. Take a good look at the bushnell and weaver scopes in your price bracket, they are both good makes and superior to both Hawke and MTC imho.
  21. i dont think you can, not 100% on that though. Iv got one and very pleased with it. They are very good, well built rifles however i have heard it can be hit and miss when it comes to accuracy though.

    in many country houses there are deer heads screwed on the wall as trophies, what is the difference. Not many stalkers really hunt for meat. This video is an extreme example of hunting in africa, while i do not condone shooting lions in a pen some people need to understand not all big game hunting is like this. Looking at this video is like looking a the league against cruel sports website and form an opinion on shooting. Too many people hide on here under 'i ony shoot for pest control' TO the majority on here the pest control they do makes no differnce to themselves, they shoot becasue they enjoy it end off.

    i thinks many people talking on here down really understand big game hunting. Big game hunting brings at lot of money to places where other work is minimal. A lot of big game hunting perserves animals ie lions are breed to be shot in the same way pheasants are, but not ever lion breed for shooting gets shot. Game reserves spend a large amount of time preserving there stock and keeping out poachers, nearly all big game hunting is africa is sustainble. Quite a lot of big cats shot are shot becasue they are posing a threat either by eating goats etc or plaquing humans. MAny of you think its right to go out a shoot a fox for 'pest control' but not too pay to shoot a big cat for pest control!!! Many non shooters believe driven game shooting in England is just posh toff drving range rovers blasting poor defenceless birds out of the air.Im sure most of you would call them nieve but this is exacally what you are doing to big game hunters. Lests be honest stalking a big cat for days waiting to get a shot or lamping rabbits at 60 yards....... which is really more sporting?
  24. MCFC till i died, united are all glory supporters, their stadium isnt even in Manchester !! Hark now hear, The City Sing, United ran away, And we will fight for ever more, Because of Derby Day..
  25. You have a person turn up at your door claiming to be your FLO and demanding to see your guns. They could be anyone. At the very least i would tell them to wait in their car while i called the firearms department to see if they was genuiune.
