  1. I have done Micra ones and they came out well. You can either buy a kit or just use the finest w&d you can find and then finish with polish. Interesting to read comments about T Cut because I am fairly sure that is what I used.
  2. Nice. So just the bottom ring(s) and you ae all done right?
  3. That's an amazing result well done to all involved, you must be chuffed to bits. Be interesting to hear what you think to the meat if you haven't had it before.
  4. I am heading out in a bit with a 'guest' if we see any we can ask
  5. After seeing someone else's I bought the Petzl with the retractable head band. When not in use it is about the size of a large sweet. Super handy but as a result can be lost quite easily. I mostly wanted something small but bright and it is both. http://m.uttings.co.uk/p122050-petzl-zipka-headlamp-black-e93aba/?option_id=89037&adwords=true&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuOPukvyG2gIVqpztCh3DxwohEAQYAyABEgJD-PD_BwE#.WrdSTIdwbqA
  6. Maybe that will change now with the extra hour of daylight?
  7. Yeah he is clearly a bit anal, but then I doubt he wastes half an hour in the hour looking for each tool like the rest of us do Nice space btw, I would be happy with half of that.
  8. Fast forward to 6 minutes in - now that's a garage
  9. You are wrong. The simple fact you seem to have overlooked is a busy partridge/pheasant shoot will drive roe deep into cover from which they don't return until well into February. The doe season wasn't extended just for the fun of it.
  10. I don't see the link to collie story either, seems toatlly irrelevant. I have shot late does when I have been behind, it isn't ideal but we don't live in a perfect world. If you stalk on a busy commercial shoot like I do, you sometimes have a very small window to catch up on doe numbers after the shooting season ends. Odd that we don't comment on shooting pregnant muntjac but we do about roe.
  11. Roach poles have elastic to buffer any lunges by the fish, so a blank to do the same without that would need a very soft tip section. I have nymph fished for grayling with a guide who was using a Tenkara rod which is the same principle.
  12. Sweet I was wondering what had happened to this project, good luck with speed attempt.
  13. They were a mass produced, cheap car for the masses, slow and with poor brakes - the old ones have just become desirable on the back of films like Bullet, and the fact they can look pretty cool.
  14. There are shooting schools open all week apart from Sunday. There are a few clays shoots, if you say which week you are down I can tell you more.
  15. You don't have to make a welcome post to start posting here - welcome to the forums As you have read the house rules you are already in exclusive club of about 1% of our members
  16. As we have reached the personal insult stage it's time to tuck this one up in bed.
  17. It's a good time of year for them you should do OK. And well done Walker look like two fine muntjac there I look back from time to time to where I have gralloched deer, as muntjac definitely drawn to the smell of it and will eat it too.
  18. OK was just checking as one of those rings looked like the first one. As you have time take it, as the others said further up don't rush it, if it looks wrong, undo it and have another go.
  19. I am trying to picture a 25 yard target with 24x mag but just can't, I would genuinely be interested in seeing what that looks like. Each to their own I guess I prefer lower mag in the field and it certainly doesn't stop me from shooting plenty, and muntjac, as we know can be pretty small. I am not a long range shooter at all, furthest roe I have ever shot was 205 yards and from memory I only wound my scope up to 10 for that. For field shooting if you are shooting into a couple of inches I don't feel the need for any more but it depends on the size of your quarry, clearly target shooting is different.
  20. Thought it would be a good idea to get yesterday evening before the weather closed in. I started out stalking into some roe but the wind swung round to the east as got close do that was that. Then it was a case of reversing everything I normally do, jumped in the truck and went to the opposite side of the woods and there they were. Shot this fine looking chap in the last hour, gralloched him, stood up slowly and another one had drifted out if the wood in the intervening minutes. So I shot her as well and started the drag back. I know I was downwind but this roebuck just stood there staring, I must have got to within 15 feet before he ran, I only had my useless phone camera so not sure how well the picture will come out as it was a bit dimsy by then. All in all a great evening, just goes to show with stalking you need to mix it up when the weather does strange things.
  21. My point exactly - unless you have ant shooting permission maybe?
  22. Have you got the handle and reel seat on yet?
  23. I think a trip to Specsavers may be in order
