  2. Is beating becoming hard to find?

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    I wouldn't waste your money on nobs from what I've heard, there's more talk than offers but others may say I'm wrong. Its taken me ages to find somewhere and I have dog, its only thanks to Beerdore (of PW) and a chancing comment on facebook that I managed to get anywhere at all. A lot of my clients have dogs and shoots and I still couldn't get anywhere. Its more who you than what you know but keep at it something will come along, mix in the right circles - is my tip!! Sunday arvo pint in a village pub and big ears :beer:

  6. air guns are more efective than a shotty at rang

    in Airgunners

    Well aimed shot from shotgun at flying pigeon dead pigeon could you hit it with air rifle,

     

    You aim a rifle - you point a shotgun :good: You cant compare the two in that context, its using the right tools for the right job, both have there place in their own environment

     

    Back to the OP, I'm a little surprised regarding the energy but its the accuracy side of the difference that would interest me most. I would say an air rifle is far more accurate at that range than a shotgun and its accuracy that makes the difference

  8. AA S410 Pellets

    been using air arms diablo field 4.52 in my tdr, which seem to be ok.

    they seem to be well made and of good quality.

    only had it a couple of weeks and havent tried anything else in it yet, and only using it for lsr.

     

    use bisley magnums in rapid for bunny bashing though, prefer the heavier pellets for that.

     

    2nd'd - AA fields all day long for my S410 tried jsb's, crossmans, rws superdomes but none so far compare to being consistently accurate, although only just experimenting with bis mags but seem a quality pellet, only trying a heavier pellet out of curiosity

    Hi All

    Turned up at the permission yesterday and the ole boy was at my van before I even had got me boots on, 'follow me' he said - 2 rabbits in the walled garden!! 'No matter what I do to try and get rid of em' they just look at me and laugh' the ole boy wasnt happy (he's been chasing them, throwing things at them - nout works :D), a quick wander with him and one coney sat amongst the veg looking at us, looking at him, from about 10' away - best get the rifle out!! Well within 20mins, both bunnies in the bag! A few hours spent wandering around the rest of the estate and the end result, plus a very happy gardener :D

     

    Really didn't want so many as I want the perm to last but thought it best to show a good bag after the discussions I had earlier, strange that I've not come across any kits yet - or have I :sly:

     

    The coney with his shoulder exposed, fell of the branch I had him on and had been pecked by some cheeky corvid

    I'll throw in another question, what's the best ready to fire set up for around the £600 mark?

     

    Benjamin trail .22, any good? This is half the price by the way.

     

    AA S410K or the Classic, £600 will get you a decent second-hand one and the charging gear to go with, plus will have change for pellets.

    (its gonna get bashed about so don't go pretty)

  12. stalking rabbits with not much luck

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    As the others have said, all good advice. But if you're missing shots when out in the field but not on the range then I would say your not following the shot through and poking your head up to see if you've downed the bunny before the pellets out of the barrel then you'll 'pull' the shot every time, stay on the target and watch bunny fall through scope :good:

    Macwet equestrian gloves off evilbay are great they come in brown or green I always wear them, they do some air-mesh (i think) ones for less than £20 can't fault them if you let me know what size you need I've got a pair of the normal ones in size 8 brown I'm gonna send back, I ordered them for my wife but somehow measured wrong she needs a 7.

  16. Tax Accounts help needed

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I have an accountant but I'm losing/lost confidence in him as I've just been giving an 11k tax bill due in Jan. I've had to highlight missing business expenses to him for both this yr and the previous, only submitted 6 months last yr as the business didn't start making money till then. Going through my statement of accounts there is no allowance for my personal tax shown within the workings - hence my op - hope he allowed for it on the previous yr!

     

    I was looking to my accountant for submitting year end accounts, business advice and to reduce my tax bill - so far zero out of 3 isn't a good start.

     

    And to top it all of he's increased his bill by 75% as my books required more work!!!!

    Best thing to do is get an accountant. They easily pay for themselves.

    Once you have the rabbit situation under control you need to tell them that you should be allowed to continue "patrolling" the ground as the rabbits will quite quickly start to bred again. If the gardener knows what he is about he will have no opition but to agree with this line of thinking!

    Your permission should be safe as long as you continue doing a good job and respecting the land! :good:

    Good luck with it!

     

    Edit: There's always the corvids and the tree rats to think about as well! :yes:

     

    Cheers for the tip chap

Once the coneys are down in numbers I might lose it - gonna take ages :yes:
