  1. First foxing for a while now silage is cut. Got lampshy vixen last night at 9:30. It walked up to 22 yards off my hiding spot. 50 grains sorted it. Headed back to car, radio TT on, door open, texting my cousin and a cub walked right past the car!! Closing bolt on rifle spooked it. Half light and drizzle so archer not used. Went back for 682, 35 gram 5's and lamp. Got it 50 yards from where I first saw it.
  2. Winchester 50 grain silvertips in my xbolt. 200 yard zero.
  3. Got a foxpro firestorm. It's fantastic- especially in winter- had a dog fox run in full tilt (from 300+ yards) to the vixen call within 2 minutes of turning the call on. Mouse and rabbit calls used at the minute.
  4. My t bolt is the same- likes Winchester subs. Never used anything else since I used them. Tempted with cci segmented due to a ricochet or 2 at the weekend!
  5. North. And across the irish sea would be handy.
  6. 71 jacks and rooks on Saturday afternoon to my own gun. 4990 +46 assorted hoodies, jackdaws, rooks and magpies from 1st January = 5036
  7. Using Express English Sporter fibres and Super Comp fibres at the minute. If I used plastic wads, would scores improve? It seems like a lot of people I shoot clays with look down their noses at fibre wads. Why are plastic so popular? Price? On a range, I use plastic wad at skeet but out shooting sporting and game shooting, I use fibres. Ive heard before about plastic throwing a tighter pattern etc. Does a bias exist?
  8. Mp153 in 3.5" for vermin shooting/ on the shore/ around pens/ rough cover. Excellent job, hasn't let me down and I've had it for 2 years.
  9. That's what .22lr with subs was made for!
  10. .22lr t bolt and Winchester subs works for me! 1/2 inch 50 yard groups, headshot rabbits easy. Also a few grey squirrels on feed rides, grey crows and magpies on the ground and a couple of foxes at 50 yards. Love it.
