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

Lovely report. Long may you and this sport continue it will be so sad if it ever ends

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

what carts do you use? Do you keep it below a certain shot size?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

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

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

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

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

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 😞

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

Had a beautiful morning sat watching the sun coming up listening to the Geese on the bank opposite.
3-4 Skeins came over but too far away from us.
We sat for a few hours then spent the end with Nic and I giving the dogs a few water retrieves. Ted is really shaping up now with a combination of running by the bike, hunting him on ground with game and swimming in the river against the flow. Think I gave him 7 or 8 retrieves swimming down the river and back against the current.
Nic kindly gave me some eggs from his Hens and on the way home I stopped into the butchers for some meat and knocked up a nice breakfast when home before a nap... about to start evening shift shortly!
Burning the candle both ends good for you. Lovely dog too I can see a springer on the list when the lurcher goes

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

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

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.
