thats why i hang them by the feet, to let all that stuff out. and answer2, it is only when me and my mate get our birds mixed up that i see that watery stuff running out as all my birds are head shot :lol:

done

i did yes, and the dog retrieved it. dog......mans best friend . could you imagine if you had just packed the wife into a muddy hole, do you think she would have done anything for you ever again

i have always hung my birds up by the feet, i think its just the way i was shown as a boy. i have been told the proper way is to hang them by the neck so that the guts isnt laying up against the breasts but i have never noticed any difference when i have tried it. the thing i sometimes think about, especially with say a goose thats been shot coming off water, is the amount of green water that pours out of it when hung up by the feet, that would all stay in if hung by the neck.

i remember one outing with my friends four bore, i was sitting on the edge of a ditch that the cattle had trodden into a mire and i spotted a single goose heading towards me a bit out to the side but still in range and without giving it enough thought i fired and found myself going back over. i glanced behind me as i started going back and noticed the dog sitting between me and this stinking mire and instinctivly i put out my hand and packed the poor hound almost out of site in the mire , what a look i got from the dog as he dragged himself out, if looks could kill :lol:

its not as bad as you would think, the recoil isnt bad its just a big push so getting on to another bird is ok. the thing you have to keep in mind is if caught off balance and you start going back over just keep going rather than fight it cause you wont win

yes theres holes in the sides of the breach where it could be hung in gimbles for mounting on a punt, the stock is probably that overly shape to help ballance the gun.

here is someone else who is needing a good hard working shetland woman, leave it with me and i will see what i can do heres jessy, 22 year old, boiling sheeps intestines. hard working, never complains, guts rabbits at a rate of 42 per minute whilst darning socks. slip me a PM and i can sort you out with a contact number :lol:

Meindl

i think the best allergie i have heard of was a guy that worked with us who refused to work with the cosywrap/glass wool insulation because he was allergic to it, when asked what it did to him he replied............ yes you have guessed it, it made him all ITCHY :oops:

it's only 27lbs, nothing to worry about :whistling:

totaly agree, i dont know what its all about, it must be for ballance. either that or it was built for a giant because i cant get my hand around the grip the watson brothers ones in the link look a bit more refined

here in shetland all the certs are open, i handnt heard of anything else until i joined PW, and i have never heard of land being cleared for a certain calibre. the police is very laid back up here, a 21 year old boy applied for his first FAC and was granted it with a .22lr, .17hmr, 22-250, 243 and a 338 lapua mag :o :o :o

corbie is the shetland word for raven

why mess around with a double 8, go the whole hog and get a double four, watson brothers are still making them, only £49000.

theres 4 on here, check it out. all i have heard about these folks have been good. pantiles guns edit just to say there is one on gunstar too

gamebore mammoth are a 3" 50gram in BB or no3 and a 3 1/2" 63gram in BB or no1. its the gamebore buffalo that do a 36 gram BB, no4 5 and 6. i usually use the buffalo no4 for ducks and the mammoth 50 gram no3 for geese, where permissible. although IMO i reckon the buffalo 42 gram no3 would be better for the geese than the 36 gram BB's but each to there own, i have never got on that well with BB's for geese, my sx3 has always patterned better with no3.

thats a beautiful set-up, when i get a 6.5x55 hopefully it will be a sako

well done bud. the .22 is a great little round

sounds like you need a new wife. the three things that need to be in place before i would even contemplate going any further with a woman is mud under the finger nails, red ring around her calfs from the wellys and and a small hump starting to form in her back back from picking potatos, if those three things are in place she is good to go and you will have no problems when it comes to gutting/butchering etc.

my mates 223 howa shoots well with ppu 55 grain soft points, under an inch at 100, but it shoots my home loads better. 52 grain a-max over H4895.

went for a run tonite and got 30 total 2655

gamebore buffalo 36gr BB is quite good

for the shooting i do wich is sporting, skeet, game shooting or wildfowling i like 28" barrels.
