  1. Hi all, What is the consensus as to how much rib should be seen? IE comb height for the following shooting disciplines? Decoying Sporting clays DTL trap I am looking to know how to set each gun up for these disciplines and I would greatly appreciate a more experienced answer Thanks, Jimmy
  2. Yes 22lr will do the job nicely, done it hundreds of times. Bullet placement to the correct part of the skull is key to ensure quick death
  3. Thanks all!! Going to attempt making my own from wood and chicken wire. Gone off the idea of making it out of steel as it may be too heavy to move around!
  4. Thanks lads, just been reading a bit on ladder traps and funnel traps, looks like they would suit me better indeed!!
  5. Hi folks, I have masses upon masses of crows and magpies on my farm and nomatter how much they are shot the numbers never seem to fall. So...... I am considering making a big larsen trap, 10 foot square or something along the lines. I will put hooks ontop so that I can slide the forks of my jcb loading shovel to move it around. I was thinking of using 2 inch box iron for the frame and steel meshfor the sides and maybe get it galvanised. Anyone made such a thing and if so could you send pictures and a few details of the trap please. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  6. I dont shoot them Charlie, I wasnt even aware that they where protected but do now.
  7. Hi all, This is a bird That I would like to learn more about. Just this year on our farm I have noticed an area that has a derilict church mansion that is normally swarming with crows and a place that I have shot hundreds before is now almost obsolete of the crow but instead seems to be occupied by Ravens! You hear the distinct short throaty rasp caw high in the trees and just occasionally catch a glimpse of the big *******! I take it the crow and the Raven dont mix as there arent many crows in that area now? My Father-in-law also said he would never shoot a Raven as he respects them more than the cheeky crow! Does anyone else follow a personal policy of not shooting Ravens?
  8. Hi thanks for that! That will give me something to go on now! Must send my cert away!
  9. Did you get youre 17 hornet on for small vermin? Ie: bunnies? Or did you get it on for fox? Qurious as I may apply for a larger 17 for vermin.
  10. Why are they taking so long again? They had sped up alot for a good while there but seem to be slipping again. Why are they taking so long again? They had sped up alot for a good while there but seem to be slipping again.
  11. I shoot 60 vmax in a 22 inch border 1-8 twist. Lapua brass, rem 71/2 br primer and 27 grains of varget.
  12. When I shot hmr i had a sako quad varmint and a sako quad with the lighter barrel, think it was the hunter it was called. Both shot the same! 1/2-1"
  13. Well done, if it killed them stone dead then.... IT WORKS!!!!!!
