  1. I need a .410 shotgun, ideally single barrelled, for the humane dispatch of foxes in a cage trap. If anyone has one for sale please message me. I am in Sheffield 8. Cheers, Tony
  2. It would fail at my renewal. The locks have to be inside " welded pockets " according to the spec I was given.
  3. Having never shot wild boar, which I am keen to do, I find myself wondering if you have to give a running animal some forward allowance rather like you would do with a shotgun.
  4. Beaters day on our small shoot saw all of the women beaters ( who shoot ) show up with their guns. 2 new women beaters want to learn to shoot and one has joined BASC as an individual member. No barriers from us, and every encouragement is given.
  5. Signed, and thank you for highlighting this. I am secretary of a fishing club in the Peak District. We have a trout river, with significant predators ( and a minuscule number that are allowed to be culled by permit ). Frustrating is a word that comes to mind !
  6. Ask the police for a replacement certificate It cost £4.00
  7. I have 21 in SYP area. I have shotguns, rifles, combination guns and revolvers. I have a professionally fitted and accredited alarm system and CCTV system. Both are monitored. I have always exceeded what SYP would be asking of me in resect of my security. I learned this at work when my old boss used to say to us " lets do one better than the HSE would want of us " !
  8. I desperately need a Mud Daddy or a similar device. Please can I ask what any other members think of this item. More importantly what alternatives are members using ( including a garden type weed killer pressure spay ). Cheers, Tony
  9. Our beaters get no cash payment, however, they do get a beaters day ( driven birds - value £315) and a mop up day ( walked up birds - value £100 ) and a place at the annual shoot dinner for them selves and their partner ( value £140 ). This equates to £555 divided by 8 shoots = £69.38 / day We shoot 8 days and at the start of the season we ask the team if the would like paying. The answer is always a no.
  10. I use these. https://www.countrysidefeedersltd.co.uk/
  11. Can you post this to Sheffield please
  12. Sunday Evenings - I remember it well !
  13. Got 1 in cal .243, is my favourite rifle. If you get one get a good, second hand, spare magazine as soon as you see one as they a quite expensive new.
  14. I have a Tikka LSA 65 in .270 cal, which I bought second hand in 1979. I reload as I tweak the load to be a bit kinder on the recoil !
  15. I am having my first day out this season on Thursday on the River Derwent at Chatsworth. I will report back.
