Northants is always worth a visit.

Spilt beans, after harvest, are a better draw for pigeons after rain, when they are a bit softer.

Don't sleep next to the wall because, when you get out of bed, you'll burn your bum on the lightbulb.

Would you rather clothe it, or feed it?? I wondered where that giant apple got to.......

No Cranfield I think the one underneath is the female, unless of course we have gay wood pigeons here.

That double negative means they all claim to make money out of cartridges. Can you imagine a gunshop that didn't stock cartridges? I know they don't make much profit on cartridges, and rely on customers buying other things from the shop. Reminds me of the pub with no beer.

The price of non-toxic won't seem too bad, when lead prices catch up.

Bargain!! I think mine cost £26, picked up from the shop.

I've just ordered 2,000 Eley HB Pigeons at the old price. They were £107 per 1,000, then £123 per 1,000 and the gunshop told me today they will be over £150 per 1,000, as from their next order. My 2,000 will be at the £123 rate. Get 'em while you can boys, because I doubt if they will go down in price.

Got mine from the local gunshop. I would have thought that any shop that sells the rifles, would also sell the mags. Or you could try the importers, Edgar Bros.

Now you know how the wife feels when you leave your underwear on the floor.........................

A wonderful bird, the pelican.
It's beak can hold more than it's belly can.

These were shot in Northants.

Shot 65 last Sunday.
32 one evening last week. 
70 the Sunday previous. 
Over 700 shot a few fields away around the same time. -
We should also remember that stricter legislation in the UK was caused by two individuals, who owned firearms quite legimately, but who decided to run amok shooting people in the street and children in school. We were let down by our fellow shooters. If gun ownership was the cause of gun crime, there would be bloodbaths in Switzerland.

I was too busy to reply because it was my turn to wear the skirt and I was out partying.

If you develop a problem with flinching, repeated dry firing on snap caps can help. Can't think af any other reason to use them.

I would advise 20 feet by 6 feet. You never know when you'll be setting up with a low background or in the middle of a field.

If you're serious about pigeon shooting save up and get some proper hide poles.

I took my gun on honeymoon!!! I'm divorced now, but when I was married I was out shooting without asking permission, and my dinner was always on the table when I got home. She knew what my hobby was, before she married me, so she accepted it.
My kids would carry the rabbits, or sit with me in the high seat, and often saw deer before I did. Neither of my children grew up to be fox fondlers or stoat strokers and I think between us the wife and I did a good job.

West Indian goes into the doctor's with a parrot on his head. The parrot says, "Doctor, can you get this blackhead off my foot?"

This afternoon I looked out of the kitchen window and there was a sparrowhawk holding down a young starling.
The starling was breast down and the sparrowhawk shuffled it round so that it was on its back. As the starling looked up the hawk began to rip the feathers from the upper breast area. 
The starling started to panic and the blackbirds began mobbing. It was a slow death but, eventually the victim expired, and the predator tore into the back of the starling's neck, eating the brain and eyes etc. 
When the head came off the sparrowhawk flew to my whirly line, with the remains in one talon, hopped onto the central pole and proceeded to demolish the rest of the meal. I was looking out of the kitchen window, for over ten minutes, and the final act took place no more than eight feet from me. :o I felt privileged to be able to watch a supreme predator at work. The sparrowhawk looked straight at me several times, and I'm sure it knew I was there, but felt safe the other side of the glass.
I doubt if they ever get a quiet meal, with all those blackies chinking and swooping, but they must thank their lucky stars for bird tables. 
looking for advice plz

I've got four fields of beans, just waiting to be cut.
