  1. All quarry is shot (not just fox) with the intention of a clean kill.No hunter / sportsman would intend to cause suffering. I don't understand your linking it with this post.
  2. Managed to watch 10 seconds only and that was more than enough. Am sure he will be given his comeupance in time and much deserved.
  3. Well done. I've been made redundant twice, at times when I could least afford it, no more though now retired.
  4. That is something I would make a contribution to if Elton John can't
  5. It pleases me to read that Sir Bob Geldof is to be sent into space, hopefully he will be accompanied by other celebs. Who would you like to be sent with him. I'll start with Sting and Louie Spence please.
  6. Thats a cracking first time out with a new rifle, well done. My Hornady 17 grains are £10 for box of 50.I buy 2 or 300 at a time only.
  7. I have never owned any shotgun other than a side by side and having retired I want to try something different 'just for a change'. Thanks for all the suggestions. I now think I have have decided on a used 12g o/u with maximum 28" barrels and fixed chokes. Will start looking around for model/make options and look to get in a couple of weeks time. Thanks again to all for helping me decide.
  8. Yep, 3 million at least, but didn't see any pigeon in range.
  9. I would appreciate some advice, I have only ever shot a side by side shotgun (and still do) and having, started up again, two years ago after a very long absence from the sport, mainly pigeon,corvids and rabbit. I fancy a change from looking down two barrels. I am having great difficulty making my mind up, the choice of guns these days is bewildering. As a lad the one you got was the one a mate was selling, these days wi Tinternet its giving me a headache. I am now alternating between o/u and semi automatic, I am leaning more towards s/a now, but what are the benefits of recoil operated and gas in the choice of semi automatic. Like I said earlier, Tinternet gives me too much information sometimes and a low budget is restricting given I can't make my mind up which way to go. For reasons other than 'getting another gun' what in your opinions are the pros and cons of s/s,o/u or s/a. I like a shorter barrel and don't fancy 29" -30" if that makes any difference. Semi automatic would certainly allow me to miss more, of that I am sure. Thanks, in advance. Good shot?
  10. Crow caller received today. YHPM Many thanks. Goodshot?
  11. If something goes bang it will not save his b******* though.
  12. I wouldn't be tapping anything from the muzzle end with a live round up the spout, concentrate on getting the bolt out from the back end only. Repeat... I wouldn't be tapping anything from the muzzle end.
  13. Looks like good fun. Looking forward to seeing some action shots following pigeons into the decoy pattern.
  14. I have one in .22 as new, want £30 + post.
  15. When I got back into shooting (in last two years) after a 30 year abstinence, my skills were questionable. I am still in that position and therefore my username is still accurate. This (like the projectiles )does not impact on my enjoyment of the sport though.
  16. You need to register with 'Gun Watch' and put it on there.
  17. I thought that the three claimants involved got what they deserved and in two cases what they wanted, thankfully.
  18. It's a festival to celebrate the end of Ramadan I believe, I didn't know till I googled it.
  19. http://www.drbobsgunbits.com/index.html This link should give you a contact number / email address
  20. Got a BSA LIGHTNING .22 carbine + Scope all in good condition. PM SENT
  21. Go to 'T.W.Chambers' site for gunspares.
