    Horse fly bites

    I read on shootclay website that if you have a strong insect repellent on your hands or face you can take the top layer of varnish or wood oil off a stock in an instant. We are covered in Horse Flies this year down on our farm in Hastings. My mums 30 stable livery yard, and the dairy herd of cattle next door they are bloody everywhere. Don't where anything red. If I stop the Honda quad and step away from it and look back it is instantly covered in Horse flies. My only other tip is if you're a smoker. I got bitten once and an old boy I was with lit up his embassy number 1, took a drag, and then held the red hot bit really close to the bite. It was really uncomfortable. Within a few minutes the bite had pretty much gone. He said it was to do with the bite leaving a big shot of protein and the heat breaking it instantly down. Don't know the science, but it worked!
  2. I read a recipe for fermenting horse hoof. We have a livery stables so getting hold of it wouldn't be a bother.
  3. updated to my final offer, £1000 plus RFD charges.
  4. Again, not reflected here but now dropped to £1,100 to to match gunwatch and guntrader.
  5. Thanks. It is a brilliant set up. I already have another great set up in .308 and really want to add a pulsar trail thermal scope to the top of my .223 for foxing. So decided this is the best kit to sell to fund it.
  6. The last few years have been very barren on our place down near Hastings, East Sussex. Not this year though. They're everywhere. Its like watership down out there.
  7. is this a known thing? i'm always open to new ideas.
  8. Not reflected here, but I've updated the gunwatch advert to be £1,200
  9. Absolutely gutted for you mate. I always think if my small shoot got done over then that would be the end of it.

    Photo ID Rant

    I did the very same in Lloyds and they responded with "wow, we don't get many of these as ID but it's definitely allowed as one of the most trusted forms of ID"
  11. I had the same experience there when I went for a shoot with my Cousin. We ended up shooting about 20 clays. Nothing was working properly on the few sporting traps they had. We jumped in the car and headed up to Humberside shooting ground, where we had a fantastic afternoon.
  12. Stumbletts is in Horam, close to Heathfield. Try putting Furnace Ln, Horam, Heathfield TN21 into google maps.
  13. Haha I missed all the rabbits I shot over the top of all of them, it was just so damn close I couldn't get low enough. 10ft further out and I would have minced it. I thought it was a great shoot. I finished on 50, which is about my average. How about you?
  14. Yeah it was mine. I wanted exactly that, a more upright shooting position, but unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. I had a really ill fitting beretta 682 gold e, and was struggling to improve. So when I got the CG it fitted me perfectly, but just didn't shoot the style of shooting I'd grown up with. I changed to a Browning 725 and haven't looked back.
  15. How are you getting on with that gun Mr C? I had the same gun. I still think it was one of the nicest guns to shoot, and looks awesome. I could not hit a bloody thing with it though. You didn't buy it second hand in Sussex Guns did you?
