Loving the side by sides compared to my escort semi. Getting the hang of shooting them too. Just don't look at the gun but keep focused on target.
They are a bit addictive
I have from left to right the winchester 23 pigeon which is 3 inch magnum and handles a treat and has been opened up so I whack steel through it.
Just picked a up the Ugartechea/Parker Hale 604 sidelock ejector which sorted out 38 crows a charm at weekend.
Then an Ugartechea which has seen better days but still hits stuff is nice to handle.
Going to be a fun winter and I don't need any more lol

No a lot to say really what you see is what you get
£40 inch postage. Open to offers to be honest not sure of worth
-
The Howard Leights are great value but they get in the way a bit when mounting so I might try these shoots

I just used a bit on mono fishing line and a 5oz plain lead but I only shoot splashes so don't need any thing advanced. They seemed to work ok. I have noticed this season they are quite faded but I also topped up with some of these dakota's

Dont put us all into that category please. I have been going for food and drink when out cycling, once a week, have a meal and a couple pints then cycle home. Not everyone gets mashed and hugs mates. And to be fair pubs ive been in this has not happened at all. Some are even closing at 8pm round here
People like you are the minority

no body that goes to a pub will social distance after few beers, Simple fact and the to expect otherwise is just ridiculous

I have the toplock done on my side by side a good few weeks ago. When it came back it was ultra smooth and I could tell it had been oiled up inside.
Of late though I have noticed the safety sticks when the right barrel is selected. If I swap barrel and go back it works ok. Was toying with the idea of taking it apart and if no obvious problems applying some red grease I have for bicycle use ?Winchester pigeon grade

I think a lot of the lack of posts is people playing there cards close to there chests. Especially in land spots. Syndicates swoop in and buy all the rights and the one man and his mate can soon lose out. Bit like fishing it don't make sense to publish a productive spot

Me and my mate booked the week off and we have been up at 4am every day since the first and out in the evening. All our fowling is inland on splashes and stubble but its still a beautiful thing to part take in.
The excitement of ducks appearing out of the darkness and whizzing over your head on there way to some distance water is electric. We have had 3 ducks so far but not found the geese. Typically they were where we needed a week early and gone again by the 1st but sure they will be back.

This is the bouncer you stick on an ff6 on it and it lifts up and down. Looks great but I have to walk to my perms so need to cut down.
from nick tait and used half dozen times if that
with the ff6 it cost 200 quid. Bouncer only not the ff6
£50 inc postage

I bought a hushpower mod for me 12g and they said no to steel. Some thing to do with the wad. As its a semi I would be be able to check it was cleared so haven't tried it either
-
I know one thing the inland duck shooting is in big demand. Lost a perm this week because some one has swept in and threw money at it. If I had known I would offered my self though I suspect I could never have afforded it 😞
-
Been monitoring geese and ducks for a while and exactly what the combine is doing. So we know what fields the geese may head too next week. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan and he doesn't plough the stubble field they are feeding on at the moment. Done me rounds of local farmers to get the perms sorted

Ah fair enough mick

Not really we want less hassle not more to enjoy the little that is left of our sport. Firearms safety is fine as it is. Nuts will still find guns if they want them

Just as well it lasts a few years

As a rule in the past dyfed powys have contacted the docs and it has cost a fee to the doctors so now we have to approach them and get this info? It's hard enough getting an appointment this should be fun

There’s some fake ones knocking around, unfortunately being sold (unwittingly or otherwise) by Amazon & eBay traders. You’ve got to look at the battery contacts apparently; genuine have flat contacts, fake have coiled springs.
I’ve got a (genuine) pair that live in the truck should something happen to my Peltors, and they are damned good for £40.Cheers bumble I did see that mentioned in the reviews. Mine so far have been genuine. Good value for money

I never considered the amount of shot in the bird. I noticed he pulled off some good range shots and birds dead as.
He said there was no kick and its a light gun -
Any one using these on the pigeons ? My mate was using them today and went a treat in the old Spanish side by side and he shot well too
-
Farmer reported thousands but it was about 20 flying around. They went and I bagged 3
