It is being held this Sunday in Dunkeld Scotland.

Hi Has anyone been on a BASC open range day before? If so is it worth going? £10 per shooter. Cheers

Initially attempted to focus at under 25 yards, making vertical adjustments to the scope made no difference. I then put the target out to 35 yards where I managed to get it zeroed fine1

The scope cost £200 so I would expect some amount of quality. The digi just refers to a illuminated reticle I believe. Any reason why my rifle would be shootIng below target with adjustments in fully upright position at under 20 yards?

Hi, recently purchased a .22LR along with a hawke digi scope. My question is, does the side focus adjustment which has different yard ranges in it have any effect on the zeroing of a scope or is it purley for focusing? I was under the impression last night by adjusting the SF it altered where my shot was landing..... Thanks

Has anyone used this type of firearm? Browning T Bolt .22LR Looking at buying one for my first rifle, licence finally arrived! ATB

I checked with the BASC on this one. According to them the same rules with shotguns applies to firearms. You are permitted to handle and shoot a firearm on the basis you are accompanied by the fac holder and must be on his or hers approved land.

How far does it go honestly? Has there been a lot of firearms issues requiring these added security measures?

Currently have virgin broadband 10 meg however the speed is closer to 2 meg. Has anyone else had the same issue? Thinking of changing providers if you can recommend some? Thanks

How long do you have to be a member for before you ate entitled to apply for a certificate?

Strange. This happened to me today, got a call from my FEO asking for someone to vouch for me. Gutted as I don't know any rifle shooters...... I have also posted a thread in relation to the same issue.

I currently hold a SGC & applied recently for the co - terminus initial FEC + SGC renewal. Home visit complete along with refrence checks + land check complete, no issues. I was informed by the FEO at the start of this week that my firearms cert has been passes & should be singed off by the end of the week. Received a telephone today from the FEO asking that I will require to show my competency with a firearm by having a current firearms cert holder vouch for me after seeing me handle a shoot a rifle safely before the certificate will be issued. Unfortunately for me I do not know anyone who shoots rifles, I checked with the BASC on this & they say this request is not a legal requirement and is a local adaptation of the home office guidance for firearms document. I called about tonight and a friend of a friend has agreed to take me shooting next week and vouch for me. Thought's guys? Should I make a issue out of this or burry my head & do what is asked? ATB

ADMIN Please delete thread. Posted in wrong section. Sorry

Took the family there tonight. As said in a previous post the sides, like chips etc very expensive. Burger was good. Nothing to write home about. The staff look scruffy wearing jeans & old trainers. I know the company might be trying to come across casual but I don't like getting served food by someone with manky reebok classics lol Wasn't impressed. Doubtful ill return

Thanks LOL

Read on crowbusters that setting up a hide on a feeding field is useless. Hit n run technique ....?

Hi. I currently hold a SGC and my father is applying for one shortly. We both stay in the same house with one cabinet. What is the legislation regarding the use of each others guns? Do we need two cabinets, one for each shooter? ATB

Went out this morning for 10:00 o'clock. Only stayed out for an hour and half. 5 crows. Happy days

Acme crow caller. Is there a pattern for decoys? Heads facing into wind etc?

Looking for tips on crow shooting Bought a caller & 4 decoys. I have a hide & net as i do pigeon shooting already. I have frozen pigeons for bait if that's useful ? Cheers

Nicely done. I need some tips, never had a bag like that

Headed out to shoot over barley drillings on the same field as I shot on Friday evening. Got to the field for 11:00, walked about 20 crows & a few pigeons, the plan was to set an owl decoy up and get some crows as the farmer seemed more interested in crows rather than woodies. 45 minutes passed with only one crow & no pigeons in the area, moved the hide further up the field and set up some pigeon decoys. Nothing ! I decided to walk to the other field to investigate, nothing either, however then I realized the farmer also had another two fields behind us, one he was rolling. Full of pigeons lol We got lunch and headed over, we picked the field closer to the wood as it was closer to there flight line. Set - up with our backs to a hedgerow, however the pigeons were staying too high, I think they could see us! Moved the hide yet again with our back to the wood with a tree over the top of us. Happy days finally cracked it, they kept on coming, 30 odds, only collected 20 Why is crow shooting so hard?

Lol
