CA - Return to shooting - briefing paper
captainhastings replied to CharlieT's topic in General Shooting Matters
Yea was hoping to get out fishing but here in wales no chance. Can't even drive up the road to take the dog some where else for a change. I can go to the garden centre though. Furlough until june which will be reviewed over next week or so. God knows how the work front is going to pan out. -
CA - Return to shooting - briefing paper
captainhastings replied to CharlieT's topic in General Shooting Matters
Here in sunny wales we are now allowed to go for more than one walk a day and garden centres can open. End of for another 3 weeks. So just more of the same. Just praying we can get back shooting in time for harvest -
Yea riverside hides are tough as old boots and will last. Good price too. Can't fault mine at all

Renewed threat from Avery
captainhastings replied to McSpredder's topic in General Licence Discussion
People will not have there minds changed and the hunting folks in what ever form that is will all ways be out numbered. Some people hate all aspects of it and they will never be changed. Some don't give a toss either way. The simple fact is the minority should not have to have the views of others forced on them espeacially by people who have no clue -

I tried mine with normal carts and to be honest it wasn't good enough. But not a fair test so I will have to find some subsonics on line and retest -
Yep its just down to money. But the country was much better place back in the eighties in my opinion. We had the little village shop, post office. Used to sell a rabbit on the way home and nip in for a mars bar. Lovely times. Just a barren village now with sod all

No idea to be honest going back years. Best pic i can find

I have a plastic maintenance free shed. Had it I guess 10 years and it is like new. But in the winter major condensation

And again, shooters adding to our coffin
captainhastings replied to ShootingEgg's topic in General Shooting Matters
Why go to all that effort and expense to find some thing out they can do nothing about. Yes who ever did shoot it at some point is a plonker. It could have been an 11 year old kid with an air rifle or what ever. Maybe some over enthusiastic pigeon shooter got his reflexes in a tiz. But what is the point . Just drama and creating work for people -
Who ever designs these must be idiots to hide a part that you know will need changing quite a lot. I have to take the battery out just to change a sidelight bulb on one side and the other is nearly impossible

captainhastings replied to ShootingEgg's topic in General Shooting Matters
At the end of the day unfortunately its dead not like they are going to catch any one if any one needs catching. -
The gun I saw turned out to be 2 1/2 so I left it there and will wait to see what bargain comes along during the summer in 3 inch

Stop the use of lead on Wildfowl
captainhastings replied to 6.5x55SE's topic in General Shooting Matters
Our local shoot has a good market for his ducks with the game dealer and he insists on steel. Job done. Let the rest of folks crack on we have more than enough rules all ready don't need any more -

Looks like separate plates. We did a test this morning with standard clear pigeon and my mate went 50 yards a 100 and then a bit more. All though it was a big quieter it still gave a fair boom. The difference is distance made little change to the sound Now the reason I bought it was I picked up a good perm but the best game spot is two fields from the yard. The issue is the guys dog is very gun shy. My mate said as it was this morning it would still be too loud. Obviously not a fair test as I need to try subsonic so will have to order some from online some where -
It don't bare thinking about

Hi this is the reply to my original inquiry Hi. You could fit it to a Hatsan choke, but for the Squires you would have to use the 10” detachable Hushpower moderator If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact me Regards Jon Yes mine is the 12B one to go on my hatsan semi. I think it is the 10Inch. Going to pickup a single barrel 410 next and get the smaller one to go on that -

Collected this morning. Was hoping to find some subsonic locally but no luck. Will test with standard carts tomorrow and get a mate to stand at various ranges to access sound. -
Out of interest can you get a bolt action in 3inch ? When I asked the fella if it was 3 inch he didn't really know
-
vacination is absurd for the badgers what a waste of money. Remove them from the protected list and god knows why they are on it anyway.Let farmers control there own badgers how they see fit. The number around here are just ridiculous. This country is so **** about face now a days
-
Cheers folks make sense
-
Thinking of getting a 410 and there is a cheapy one going for 50 quid. Is it a deal breaker as I expect it not to be 3 inch chamber. Bolt action I be leave. Just for squirrels and maybe the odd pigeon
