  1. I cycled to work for years wore normal works clothes and pair wellies lol. Water proofs in the winter. Stayed on the road and used same rules as cars
  2. The news now a days is like some sort of reality show trying to grab the best head lines and make things worse than they actually are. I was only thinking yesterday as a kid watching the bcc news with some of the old news readers. I was thinking how can they ready that story about a plan crash that killed every one and some thing else like factory closes in the same tone and expression. But not now a days thats long gone for sure. They ham it right up and and really try and grab the ratings like some soap
  3. Are you using these ? https://www.best4systems.co.uk/peltor-sporttac-hearing-protector-all.html?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA Shopping&utm_term=4574930448815345&utm_content=Main Group
  4. Lol yea I am not worried about it
  5. Lovely report. Long may you and this sport continue it will be so sad if it ever ends
  6. Very good idea actually I do find the standard butt pad that came with escort too big could do with a smaller one. I will see whats about. My sxs's are much better and well fitting and handle faster
  7. Not had them measured Lloyd since buying it
  8. I got the howards and seem fine but never used the high end ones so can't compare
  9. I don't need any thing bigger than 3 but the chokes have been opened so I guess I could go bigger. Never thought it to be honest
  10. I pop hp steel through my winchester 23 quite happily . Not sure how they compare but mine is 3 chamber
  11. Just common politeness where ever you are to pickup your empties. Pet hate finding them on my perms in case the farmer thinks its me
  12. My ff6 is off for repair and i was pondering upgrading to the remote. Any one find it a useful feature ? I guess you can adjust to flap on timer as standard and also flap when you want ? We have found some time a bird will be passing and thinking flap now flap now so its them occasions I am thinking of
  13. What do people wear that don't affect gun mount. In the summer sat in a pigeon hide in tshirt accuracy is up but nuts deep in a ditch with 15 layers on to keep warm tends to have an affect I find. Just curious what folks wear to keep warm and dry but still be a bit nimble. When a duck appears in front out the dark speed and accuracy is handy
  14. In his facebook post he seems to me to actually give the impression that we need his permission and his actually got us by the short and curlies and his doing us a favour. So I know where he can shove that
  15. longer as long as dont go green seeing as they fresh
  16. Parker reproduction looks great really nice. I keep hearing about the aya guns and there quality. Think if I came across one local I would struggle to resist 😞
  17. That 10g is a beautiful gun. Regarding Gerry's comment I assumed single trigger sxs all had selective barrels like my Winchester obviously not.Personal I prefer the double trigger and I assume they less prone to going wrong
  18. Burning the candle both ends good for you. Lovely dog too I can see a springer on the list when the lurcher goes
  19. Bloody rediculous the countryside needs to step back 20 years it was a much better place at least for country folks. Now we have to keep all the carrot nibbling I don't want to see any thing dead plums happy oh make that 30 years
  20. Regardless of what the GL says it's an absolute joke. Can't be-leave it has come too this we been well and truly whooped
  21. I know one thing I save on cartridges too. With the semi that third cart the majority of the time tends to get wasted with me at least. I do some times fall into trying to aim the sxs and once I do that I miss badly. At weekend first shot on a crow I aimed and missed realized what I had done and second shot just swung after it and focus on the bird and down he came.
  22. 23 Pigeon Grade on gun trader at moment £595 then they hit near 900 and onward
