  5. Practice shooting with both eyes open,once you get the hang of it,its very quick.
  6. Hi all,well the title says it all. Ok i have been wanting to have a go at my S410s stock,theres nothing wrong with it,its a nice stock. Theres no going back now,,heres the stock now sanded. After every sanding i washed the stock,then dried it quickely to lift the loose fibres. Hmmm do i keep it natural Put a small tester on the stock..Took it abit further,Hmmmm do i keep it natural. The other choice i have,is down to two coloured woodstain,Indian rosewood or jacabean oak ( I didant what to spray a coloured laquor) Tried some of the said two colours on some pine wood,and decided on the rosewood. Now i have the stock in one hand and in the other i have a lint free cloth with the woodstain ready to go ...So i thought here goes,, Now i was not prepaired,and not expecting my beloved stock. I started on the four/end and worked the stain down the stock,and there was problems straight away.The end grains,this is were the grain of the wood has been shaped ,eg;around the cheek piece and on the grip,(beach is the worste) Deano called around the next day and we agreed that it needs alot of the dark areas needs buffing. So i ended up buffering my stock for the next THREE hours I then warmed the stock ready for the first coat of walnut oil. I have given it eight coats of walnut oil with a light sanding on the good areas,and used a P320 grade finishing paper on the dark areas and its looking good. I have changed the oil to a Danish oil,and i will give the stock lots more oil treatment. But i have been out today with the rifle for a photo, More photos to come. Mick
  7. It took me ages to decside on putting a sling on the rifle,Deano and steady kept on to me to get one,as thay have slings. So because this one was given to me i went to my local gun shop,the lads there adviced me on sling mounts. Noal the gunsmith told me what to do (as I wanted to fit them myself) pointed to a drill gave me a drillbit,and said do it now if you want.So i did. First I held the rifle by the forend of the stock over my shoulder,i put some masking tape on the areas that looked and felt right,and marked were to drill .Then i put tape on the drillbit the depth that i wanted to drill. MAKE SURE that the screw thats going in the forend of the stock is not to long,or it may come through the wood. I removed the stoc,,and did it,,jobs a good un The best thing i did is fit the sling,when we go out hunting were out for the day and the sling is a good adition Mick
  8. Ha,,it was given to me But i did not know of its quality,thanks for the thumbs up on the sling,and likeing my rifle.

  12. Hello Terry.we do alot of decoying with air rifles.This is done next to a small wooded area. I put two full body dec out about 10mtrs in the field under the flight path,and stand in the woods,the pigeons see the decs and swing around and land in amoungst the trees.Once we see the prefered trees the birds are using(this depends on wind direction)we will move within range of the trees the pigeons are using. I i should of said,theres alot of oak trees in the wood and the pigeons are looking for the last of the Acorns on the ground.We put the decs near the oaks.
  13. Hi,i have a s410.22 carbine and i cannot falt it.I did have a FX2000,,no regrets,the FX2000 was and is a nice gun,but i needed something a bit lighter. Steve has a s410.22 and loves it,the S410 replaced a springer. Another mate has a R10.22 mk2 and is having ongoing problems with the small seal on the pellet probe,and the mag seal,these are still ongoing. Another friend has a FX2000.22,this replaced a wh100.22and he is very pleased with the FX2000 and happy that he made the right choice. Next,is another Fx2000.22 and he loves it,the FX2000 replaced a webley omega .22,no regrets. The last on is a S410.22 and he loves it,the S410 replaced a Brocock light hunter.22.The issues with the Brocock was low shot count per charge. Mick
  14. Hi Heres a thread i put up a couple of weeks ago. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/190074-what-a-day-on-the-woodies/page__p__1614531__fromsearch__1#entry1614531
  15. Hi,yes a supressor for Pcp,when,you say you what a scope for pigeons,you may want to look for a scope with thick retical. A scope with a fine wire retical is more likely to lose the crosshair in the tree branches,we are useing thick wired scopes and were getting some good sport.
  16. Hi wilyfox,i put them on the ground (only had 2 full body decs)about 10mtrs from thr oak trees under the flight path lee side of he winds. Then added the shot ones to the deccs,but i think that is wasnt nesary.
  17. Hi all,well what a day.It started of with calling around at Deanos for a cuppa and a chat,this included to go out with the air rifles to one of my permissions for some pigeons and squirrels. The farm is about 120 acres of arable and about 100 acres of marshland that runs down to the estuary. The farm has a small oak woodland 200x50 mtrs,and this was our place to go and wait for the pigeons. As we got near to the woods there was loads of pigeons flying out, as we have no cover to help us to get to the wood,plus the sun was bright with very little wind(not the best pigeon conditions) We got to the wood and i set about putting out two full body decoys,Deano got himself settled at one side of the woods and i settled about 40 mtrs to the other side of the decoys. After about half a hour Deano went for a walk through the woods and soon had himself a squirrel,then the weather started to change the wind picked up and it started to cloud over,we settled back in our hiding places in antisipation for the pigeons,no sooner had we settled,a sparrow hawk came into the decoys landed in a tree,had another look at the decoys and then flew away. Then the pigeons started to come in,the decoys worked well bringing the pigeons into the trees all around use,Deano and myself had some good sport with some very good shots,squeezing some pellets through tight branches,i could hear Deanos Webley Fx2000 .22 and then a heavy thud as his pigeons was hitting the ground,i was using my Air arms S410 and am sure that Deano could hear the same thing. We ended up with nine pigeons,the sparrow hawk came back and helped its self to one of our pigeons,so eight woodie and a squirrel,in about 2 hours. thanks Deano for your company and the pigeons,iou a pigeon pie. Mick
  18. What if the owner of the Peacocks denies owning the birds,if they are owned then they should have I.D ring/rings. If they dount have rings and the owner denies ownership then the Peacock are feral,and possibly vermin.??
  19. yes i must agree the colours do stand out,and i have seen some very good stuff done with p/shop.I do exibit my photos and have sold quite a few. I would prefer to use film,but these days film is still proccessed digitaly,but once a photo have been p/shopped its not a photo its a image. Just old fashioned i guess. This is a photo of me taking some photos of the King fisher,as you can see the Kingfisher had no fear and was comming back for most of the day.
  20. So what are you saying pal,i have never used or intend to use photoshop or any other image altering equipment.So i sugest you get your facts in order.
  21. I allways carry a camera where ever i go. I was fishing for Barbel on the river wye,and was blessed with this shot of a Kingfisher.
