  1. I have some 24 gram ones if that is of any use.
  2. It's not quite that simple though is it , those foreign cartridges are brought by a british importer , they in turn are using british couriers / haulers and paying all the usual overheads. So by not buying any foreign load you would still be costing british jobs.
  3. A bit of a rash statement . I would always recommend Browning / Beretta / Miroku to anyone who asks "what gun should I buy " not because I am a snob but because I have a bit of common sense. They offer the best guns at their price point , hold their value and are fairly easy to obtain . In this thread the OP has not asked for a recommendation so I don't really understand why some are going down that route.
  4. If you like them and can afford one buy it , it matters not what anyone else thinks. It's not going to be any better in terms of reliability than Browning / Beretta / Miroku and will certainly lose more value if you do decide to sell , but I can understand when you say you want something a little different to the norm.
  5. One in the sales section now. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/338963-dummy-launcher-rrt-lucky-launcher-l/
  6. So after all your calls for support you are now going to do your best to stuff it up for all the others that want to shoot the bay ? If you choose to ignore the agreement then no doubt all the fowlers will be getting tarred with the same brush.
  7. Another cracking bag for the pair of you. I have missed out on a good bag on Broccoli / calabrese twice now this last year due to the tractor beating me to a field , I am sure one of these times I will fall lucky !
  8. At last you are learning the importance of making a half tidy pile of birds. Well done on another couple of decent bags.
  9. Well done Harnser. You certainly have to pick your shots shooting on laid cereals and for me shooting only at ones you stand a good chance of picking is the only way. Unfortunately not all on here feel the same and every year around this time we start getting the 376 shot 4 picked type posts .
  10. Another excellent result .
  11. I would say he is getting on with the auto just fine , we will soon be hearing of his first triple ------ just as soon as he loads three cartridges and remembers where the safety is.
  12. The hazel poles took me by surprise JDog , I wondered if you thought we did not have enough trees in fenland and was planting your own. I guess 35 for the amount of time we shot was a decent result , but it was disappointing that the field had been chopped in a couple of days previous , they soon lose interest as the greens dry out , having said that we could have easily doubled the bag if they did not start drifting towards the road. It's always nice to learn something from someone you take out , in your case I have learnt to try and avoid standing on the next peg to you on a shoot !
  13. Thanks Ditchman , I always wondered what type of grass I have ----now I know as it is exactly as the country mix you describe.
  14. Yes they will show up , but it will also say what they were prescribed for anti depressants treat a multitude of other things and I am sure your FLO will be fully aware of that , they are not interested in what your taking as much as what you are taking them for , so don't worry about it.
  15. I was only wondering today what had happened to you. Sounds like you are getting on well with the FT evo , well done mate. I am sure they are nice guns but not to my taste , though I can appreciate they are a great tool for the intended job. I still don't have the urge to get a PCP Good luck with your final two shoots.
  16. Not on my patch they are not! The peas are due to be vined this week and I still have not shot a pigeon on the seven fields I have to go at.
  17. A smut is a smoothound a WR300 is a rod and a slosh 20 is a reel , Every days a school day

    Plant I.D.

    Could I dry the leaves and make the Mother in Law a cuppa with them ?
  19. I have seen a few dropping into tramlines here and there , I have spring Barley behind the house this year so am hoping for some to go down at a later date.
  20. I agree , but I will wager someone will be along to disagree.

    I have no Idea JDog , but as we are having a guessing game perhaps you can tell me what this tree is. It started life as a seedling taken from my late grandmothers garden which she assumed a bird had left , it does readily self seed , and I am forever pulling them up.
