Down South

Looks like your lens needs cleaning!

You’ve just found out why the 410 was a basket case in a flea market. Good luck and keep trying. Be safe and keep smiling. 👍

Thanks for the offer but I’ve nothing more to discuss on this topic either privately or in open forum.

I think you misread my earlier post, personally I’m not concerned by the NCA alert, I’ll go with the flow regarding anything that affects my shooting. Shooting and field craft is still a great pleasure and it allows me to forget all the nonsense that prevails in everyday life let alone politics and state control. My real concern is your arrogance toward some PW members labelling them as paranoid conspiracy………………, you know the phrase, you wrote it. This is now my second post on this topic. What are you going to do about it?

Yes Connor, more than a few PW members have genuine concerns about this “increasing number of fraudulent firearms documents”, where is the evidence? If the NCA can’t/won’t releases details then it’s just smoke and Oakham. Another stick to beat shooters and shooting with. Also Connor, as a representative of “the voice of shooting”, not, I find your comment regarding PW members as “being infected by a pandemic of paranoia”, very arrogant and if this is the general attitude of BASC reps then it’s no wonder you get a grilling every time the association aligns the membership to a cause that further diminishes their perceived ideas of the security and future of shooting. BTW, I am not a BASC member and the association doe not speak for me!

The frustration of pigeon shooting. There is no definitive answer to your question, every area is different. Let the farmer know you are available if he sees birds hitting the crops. This time of year, seeing large numbers of birds feeding does not equate to good shooting, the flocks move on and at best you can pick up a few birds that might decoy. Big bags in winter are usually due to hard weather and limited food sources. As others have said, be happy you have permission, it’s better to be out there trying than being at home watching day time tv.

Yikes! They’ve gone up since I last bought some. Thanks.

What prices have you paid for pheasant grower pellets this year, ton rate? Any prediction for next years prices? Thanks in advance.

Tooth paste or wood ash, not a permanent fix but it only takes a few minutes to clean the lens nicely.

Have you tried green tomato jam? Had some recently in France, yum, brought some home.

A bit like most fishing gear, designed to catch the buyer not the quarry. 😗 Less is more.

Aigle 👍

I have a s57el, well worn but keeps going, lovely handling gun. I think spares for these models are very hard to find now.

Ah! Wrong topic.

Very good guns, I have a S57EL that is my go to 12b. I think spares for these guns are almost none existent.
