As per the title of this thread, there is lots of farmer’s land near Hull. It’s surrounded by it. 😁

Excellent, as per usual. Do you notice any sharpness degradation when using the teleconverter?

Just a quick update on my Shotgun Certificate renewal. As mentioned, I submitted my application via the Lincolnshire Police Portal on the 9th January 2025. I had my interview via the telephone on the 14th January. Today, I received my certificate through the mail. That’s eleven days. Superb service from Lincolnshire Police 👍👏👍.

Wiska and Wago is the way to go. Gel is expensive and unnecessary unless on the ground or buried. I would recommend cable entry and exit through the bottom of the Wiska box.

I was told over the phone by Lincs Firearms that they would accept 10 years worth of medical records. The problem is, because ShootCert have to deal with all police forces of whom many say that they must be a full and complete history, they have to request the full history. They said that if they only provide a partial history and the police reject that, then the ShootCert application must be started all over again with a fresh fee paid and another delay. I am nearly 66 years old and have continuously held a shotgun certificate since I was 15 yers old. Because of this fact, I do not see why I must submit a full medical history, or indeed, a full criminal record history. Contrary to modern belief, you cannot change history, so I would have thought that you should only be required to submit records for the last five years for any certificate renewal? At my last renewal, my doctor carried out an interview in person and submitted the medical report all within a few days of my making an appointment at a cost of around £50. He also was very sympathetic to the process as they are a rural doctors, and fully understood the need for people to possess shotguns and firearms. However, recently, they have decided to withdraw that service with no explanation as to why. It has certainly caused me a big headache. for which I will now have to make an appointment to get some painkillers. Lol.

Good luck. I have literally, ie. Yesterday, just received my report from ShootCert. It took my doctors nearly two months to get mine done. They blamed the fact that ShootCert ask for full medical records and my doctor no longer holds the old paper records, so they had to request the physical records from their storage facility. They then took an age, and several phone calls from me and letters from ShootCert, eventually prompted them to extract their finger from wherever it was firmly placed. It didn’t help with Christmas getting in the way. The problem now is that Lincs Firearms requires around eight weeks prior to the certificate expiration to do the renewal. I have submitted mine yesterday with five weeks to my certificate expiring. So, I may have been put in a position by my doctors whereby I may have to put my guns into temporary storage. I am not a happy bunny. ShootCert were very good though, but we were at the mercy of my doctors.

I’m surprised he’s still got a left hand with the constant choke checking on a loaded gun 🤔

I think they should also have made a number of posts so that we a least begin to get a feel for who we may be dealing with.

I have noticed there are a lot of new members joining the forum and immediately posting items for sale. In the rules it clearly states that you will be unable to post items for sale until you have been a member for at least 6 months. Have the forum rules changed? If so, can we please have the new rules in the T&C section so that we can all operate within the new rules?

Don’t need to. There is a song that says you get tulips from hamster jam. Not tried it myself yet. Anyway, I thought Pigeon Watch was the asylum?

If you make jam from hamsters then throw it on your garden, will tulips grow?

Why did they never make sticky front plastic? 🤔

You’ll have to change your name to Mash Man 🤣
