  1. I set the roatary up about 20 yds away straight infront and the decoys in a horsehoe pattern going away from me! prob not the best set up but it looked good so it hought it would be fine
  2. yamaha grizzly, or the kodiak
  3. Im after a cheap shooting motor, literally for lamping and transporting myself across the land. I dont care about condition, its going to get battered anyway but I want something that can be used on the road, lol. Anyone got anything?
  4. Its either one of these or a vitara, would you take £500? that all ive got?
  5. im looking for something like this, but i really want the convertible one so i can shoot out of it!
  6. Im in need of some new wellies, shall I get the Hunter Balmoral Sovreign or the Le Chamaeu Chasseur or Neo? Im undecided, The Hunter are reduced from £300 to £129.99 and the Chasseur are £275 to £219 with the neoprene version at £165!!!
  7. No one shot on the field for years and thought I was in for a right treat, next time im going to form a round bail hide in the field when it is cut and hopefully rinse them out! lol
  8. well yesterday i took him out to see what his problem was, and i made him sit and stay while i walked round him 360 degrees. I then threw 3 pigeons around him and sent him away. When picking up the bird he sort of bounced and picked it up then feathers came out! LOL. Im not sure if i can repair this, he is a great dog and can be re-taught if needs be. Ill try the lead thing and get the birds myself.
  9. My 5 year old lab rueben is extremely keen, almost too keen and has started to get a bit hard mounthed and wants to play with the retrive. He also runs as soon as I have shot and is starting to show me up! Any ideas of how I can stop this or why this has happened?
  10. I went decoying today, set my hide up well, my trusty camo net and some foliage to really blend in, it was awesome, lol, put 20 shelled deeks out on a horseshoe pattern with a few scattered around and my whirley in the middle with a floater each side of the decoy pattern, my hide was against a wood and right under a flight line, happy days, 1st shot got a cooey in the bag but the rest just wouldn't commit to the pattern, and im baffled. It got quiet and I didn't fire my gun for an hour so I packed up and moved fields to some flattened maize on my local estate where I do a lot of keepering, anyways, same pattern and setup but again they wouldn't commit, any idea why?
  11. practice makes perfect, I have done it since i was 9, im 22 now and can stalk deer across any terrain, but i learnt from practice, watch the animal, when it becomes alert, stop dead and wait for it to carry on, then keep stalking it, tread lightly, dont have shiny or rattling objects, buy some realtree camo and a good set of boots and get amazingly good with your gun, practice shooting eggs, coins, cans on string, old fruit ect and test yourself, shoot your targets free hand standing and give yourself between 3 seconds and 5 seconds, thats how you get good. Ask to go out with someone, when I was 13 I went and knocked on a gamekeepers door and asked for help/tuition and extra shooting, now im basically the underkeeper. Good luck, I remember when I started, From here on, every day will get better!!!
  12. I always zero my scopes at about 30-40yds, depending on what type of quarry you are after and the land you are shoting on, fields, 40 yds, woods, 30yds.
  13. me too, I have a bsa lightning and i thing the spring i knackered, so im going to get a gas ram fitted, i also want a thumb hole stock, any one know where i can get one from?
  14. yeah ill give it a clean, I was thinking of getting a different stock for it, like a thumb hole, anyone now where I can get one from?
  15. What is the best pellet for my bsa lighning .22? I have always used eley wasps but it has started doing really rubbish groupings at around 4-5 inch groupings if not more at arounhd 30yds!! bad times. I have shot since I was 9 and im 22 and use everything from an airgun to a .308. It may just be my scope is knackered but it has been doing it for a few years now, I dont use it often but when I do I get really frustrated. I used to hit a 2p at 30yds everytime! HELP PLEASE!!!!
  16. I have an escort magnum3" chamber 28" barrels in camo and I love it, cost £395 new with 5 chokes and I use it for everything, on a quad,back of a truck, foxing, bunny bashing, pigeon shooting ect, its my favourite, the keeper who I shoot with likes it and he has a 5 shot benelli super 90! Its got a good weight, good price, 3 year warranty and for what I use it for it does the job!
