    nice pics ian thats wot its all about !!

     

    kirky

     

    The event is teams of 2 vehicles and 4 crew and the format changes each year. Last year Each section was limited to 20 mins to complete. Points were awarded depending how far you got in the given time. Like a big trial but you were allowed winches, stopping, shunting etc. None of the sections would be driveable without.

    There was also a 3hr punch hunt in a forest. The terrain ranged from a rock quarry, a bog, a big gully through a wood, an open moor, and a night section on very icy forest roads. All good fun but hard on vehicles.

    20 teams took part, but not all finished. We also get teams over from Holland and Belgium.

  7. Making all air rifles FAC or similar licensing system

    in Airgunners

    Voted No.

    This one is back to personal choice, intelligence and responsibility.

     

    The thing is the persons, usually, involved in airgun crimes aren't intelligent or responsible. Education could help, but if you asked police to identify an air rifle among rifles or shotguns alot would struggle. So what chance do we have?

     

    A shotgun type ticket would be the way forward for me. No requirement for cleared land or purpose of use.

     

    As for the amount of air guns around, where's the argument? How many shotguns are there in the uk? Legal and otherwise. You can buy a shot gun for £50, legally.

     

    A total ban will not happen, no matter how many distraught parents jump up and down.

    well just over an hour and £800 later I left the shop with my .22 S410 TDR

     

    Hi Stubby,

     

    Thats one expensive TDR. ??? What else did you get with it? A good scope and mounts, I hope. ???

     

    Welcome aboard.

  16. S410 diving bottles

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    How would i fill it?? From what iv read i can either buy a stirrup pump, or a diving bottle, if i get a diving bottle, would i need any attachment and how much does it usually cost to fill it?? Do i have to get a specific type of diving bottle or will any do?? Do i need any attachments for it?

     

    Hi Dazz, if you are hunting, a silencer is a must, the standard muzzle brake gives a lovely loud crack. Look at the AA silencer, straight fit, or Weirauch with an adaptor.

     

    A pump is hard work, so get a bottle if you can afford it, and depending on the age of the 410, the correct quick filler.

     

    Try a few different pellets through it, but AA fields, JSB exacts, or Daystate in size 4.52 will probably be best.

     

    Regards,

    Ian.

  23. Scope

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    personaly unless your shooting .22 you wont need mil dot, you shouldnt really need IR if the scope is set up right, and zoom mag is useful but not esential, most of my shooting is done at 4-6xmag at most.

     

    Sorry Rob, I don't agree. I've recently changed from 30/30 to mil dot and find the guess work from hold under/over has all but gone. I shoot .177 @ 12ft/lb by the way. You can fraction the gap between the dots to give the right hold for a know distance much easier than with 30/30.

     

    If 30/30 was so good why do most, if not all of the countries top FT/HFT shooters use mil dot with .177, and all the also rans, me included.

     

    There is some good stuff out there just now with paying the earth for it.

    Have a look at the JSR range of scopes, click on the link. Scroll down to JSR bargain optics.

    I've got the 6-24x50 with IR and PX adjustment. In hindsite x24 is too much. looking back x12 would be enough for a 12 ft/lb airgun.

     

    Hop this helps,

    regards,

  24. AT WHAT PRESSURE.............

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    There is no piont in leeting the pressure drop much below 100 bar anyway, as the drop in bullet path would be unusable.

    My 410 classic drops off at around this pressure. When mine gets chronoed it's filled to 180 bar. The sweet spot is at around 165 bar for approx 20-30 shots.

    I only have a pump and tend to keep it topped up when it gets to about 150 bar.

  25. Ferret questions.

    in Country Sports

    Posted

    Hi guys and girls,

    I'm after some advice on the ferret kits I've had for about 5 weeks. I have 2 gills and a hob that are litter siblings, and were born in April.

     

    How young, or old, can a hob be vasectomized? Is sooner better than later?

    What age is right to start them on small warrens?

     

    And finally does anyone ooop north have any 1 or 2 year olds for sale, to teach my kits how to go on?

     

    Thanks for any advice,

    Regards,

    Ian.
