Hi,
I currently live in Wales, in Carmarthenshire. I am interested in attending a clay shoot but seem to find one anywhere near by. I am originally from Sussex, England and used to shoot a lot of Pigeons (both clay and real) but since move here I have not really shot at all and would like to start again.
After a bit of practice I would also be interested in the location of any rough shoot as it would be great to meet up with some fellow shooters.
Hope someone can help.

Thanks for the advice, It is not my only e-mail address, I get so much junk e-mail at that address that some more would not make any difference. I give out another address for people I know, it is just good for making initial contact.

Where in South Wales are you shooting? I am based in Carmarthenshire but often travel to other parts of Wales. Would love to do some pigeon shooting. I used to shoot a lot of game, pigeon, rabbit etc but not recently. I have all my own equipment inc flocked decoys, rotor, cradles, hive net/poles etc.
All I get to shoot now days is foxes with a rifle.
You can e-mail on: ******************************************
Hope to speak soon.

I only ever met him once and I will never forget it, he was a great bloke and will be missed by all who knew him.
Very sad news, I will be thinking of his family in these sad times.

BTMS,
You forgot the other reasons(excuses):
Wrong cartridges
Could not see the clay because of the rain.
Wrong chokes
Just a poor shot (me).

It was a great day despite the weather, it was nice to finally put a face to a couple of the site members (Pieman and Browning). It was nice meeting you two and we did not let the Pigeon watch site down as we scored the second highest on the 4 man flush.
Hope to meet you all again some time.

Yes you are correct High Gun.

Ollie,
I think he is talking about lamping Rabbits (not foxes).
I may be wrong but if not then are you using a coloured filter on your lamp? I have always found that white scares rabbits but red or orange works far better.
It may be that your area of land has been hit hard by Mixy and it now has far fewer rabbit about.

I have three Sussex Light chickens, they are great to keep, I do not find them hard work and I have never had a problem getting someone to pop in and check on them twice a day (at least with chickens they get a reward of eggs each day).
I would recommend them to anyone.
They do like to scratch around so I hope you don't like pretty grass, don't go for bantams as the eggs are too small for any use.

I have owned two rotors, the first used a wiper motor and was very heavy and the battery only lasted a couple of hours. The Rotor-coy I currently have is fantasic the battery lasts all day (on a full charge) and the unit is VERY light.
I would highly recommend either the rotor-coy or the pinewood unit (which I think has better wing spreaders, but these can be purchased separatly and will fit straight onto the rotor-coy).
Both units are available from ############## so have a look. As BTMS said the unit has not let us down yet.

BTMS,
I will second that, what a fantastic device, I was very impressed by its pulling power and the build quality.

Hes a great dog YP, is he back to full health now? What was he chasing?

The SAKO Varmint has a heavy, threaded barrel and the hunter has a standard barrel.
I think the Varmint looks a lot better and other people claim that it is more accurate but I have only owned the Varmint so I could not comment.

The Sniper,
The only land owners here that are happy to have people shooting are the golf courses, I have permission on three of the local courses.
Unfortunatly I can only going lamping on them due to the golfers turning up at first light, and I am also not allowed to use the shotgun on them. But it is perfect for shooting a few bunnies with a rimmy.
Good to see you were listening

I have a SAKO Finnfire Varmint and I am very happy with the accuracy and with the look (wood).

Hi,
I am after a bipod for my rimmy, which model are they like, I was looking for the swivel version which adjusts from 9" - 13" (I think).
Do you have a web address?
Mark.

I will second that, Thanks for a good weekend YP.
I look forward to meeting you all again.

Hi,
I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday but I just wondered if you have any rules on Felt\plastic wads?
I currently only use plastic so I may need to go shopping.

I own the Tracer Mini pro lamp and I also use it on a .22 rimmy for lamping rabbits, I would say that the mini is better for your needs as the sort of range you will be shooting at, the big bright light of the max will scare the bunnies off if at full brightness, also the Max is a bit big and bulky.
This is only my opinion but the mini pro has served me well.

Can't beat a good rabbit stew or rabbit pie.

I have used the vale rotor, it is a very sturdy bit of kit but because it is made of quite thick steel and a car Wiper motor it is very heavy.
I would buy the pine wood Advantage or the Rotor coy both available from www.############## (see ad banner above).

Hi,
Thank you for the link, it looks a bit serious, I am just looking for some enjoyable shooting, my days of trying to win cups are behind me. Will have a proper look at it though.
