Well had visit today, went okay and said that my certificate would be granted but will not be OPEN. Also i will not be able to get the 223, reasons being that i will have to demonstate experience in the field with the 22 first i suppose this is fair enough. I was advised that i could write in if i wanted too and could demonstrate a good enough reason for having it. He did suggest that i could apply after 9 months for the 223. Still happy that i have been given the ok for the 22 & mod With regards to ammunition i can purchase 500 and hols 600. Now need to decide on the set up i want

Sex, sex, sex, that's all you Kent boys think about. :o :o

A real beauty, is it going to be mounted?

Hi all After two months i have today had the call to arrange an inspection visit at my home. Just wondering what will i be asked? It is the same officer who visited when i renewed shotgun license, seemed a likeable bloke. I have applied for a 22 and a 223 with moderators, 1000 rounds Visit taking place next Friday so hope it goes well.

LB arrived today a big THANK YOU, very much appreciated :yp: Top man

I have removed interior trim, all linkages are working, on the central locking they work but the door will just not open. Have tried with me on the inside her on the outside lifting the handle it just will not release. The child locks were not on when it was locked. Any idaes before i have to take it to the dealer??

Hope it goes well for you

Did search found some interesting results concerning velocities, what does hmr stand for? Thanks

Jusr read an article in this weeks ST and the author recommends tha .17 Remington 20 or v25 grain bullet? I thought that the suggested calibre for fox was .223? Just wondering what is the opinion of all you who shoot charlie?

What if the dog isnt called "Sniff"? Tony

Nice pics, what is the breed make up of the Lurcher?

My Springer did this and is still partial to the odd terd now and then. I spoke with our local vet who said it is a behaviorial problem and not a problem with diet or lacking vitamins. I tend to tell him no when he sniffs, or if he is off the lead i run towards him and shout NO this has solved some of the problem.

Well the big day came last Friday, I was a bit nervous, but need not be as all the beaters i met were friendly and most helpful. I kept the dof on a longish lead and woeked him close, no problem with the other dogs, didn't really seem bothered. After the last drive I was discussing with another beater retreiving with fresh game, he had a partridge which he threw and my dog when sent went to it and picked it and returned straight to hand, i was well pleased. On the way back to our vehicles I was asked by the game keeper if I woud be coming back?, Deffinatelty. I would like to thank all those on here for the advice given, much appreciated

Having had a shot gun license for 20 years i am now thinking of applying for my FAC. I have written permission from land owners whose land has already been okayed, i have aslo a letter from a pest comtrol operator giving me a reference. My question is this I want to use the gun for Pest control (rabbits & fox), in Q19 on the form it states 'give details of firearm you wish to purchase'. Should i put two different calibres down? .22 for rabbit & .223 for fox?? Both with moderator Any advise ??

I have been going to the shoot of an evening dogging in around the boundaries, he seems staedy and stops on the whistle, when the bird flushes. He is also good on the recall. He has not been out working in the presence of other dogs so i shall take it easy. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all, been invited to go beating with my 15 month old springer. It will be the first time for both of us. I intend to keep him on the lead just in case he gets carried away, any advice for both of us?

My son just purchased a Praktica DCZ 5.8 from Tesco's only £60.00, pictures seem fine and very easy to use, also comes with usb cables & AV cable soft case. Really depends on how serious you are?

Nice looking dog there Paul

What exactlty do you keep in your first aid kit? Thanks

I have resent, thanks in advance.

Very well illustrated. I had not heard of this before do they work as good as the larsen?

Hi all My 12 mth old springer developed a limp in his front leg yesterday afternoon. Due to the hot wearther i decided to walk him on the lead rather than let him run free, walked about 20yards on pavement and he went lame on the front leg. Took him home checked pad, nails,and rubbed hand along foreleg. i could find nothing wrong. Let him rest and he seemed okay in the evening, but after a short walk he was lame again. I was wondering if he could have pulled a ligament or something similar, he does or did not make any noise when this happened/ Does any one have any ideas before i take him to the vets?
