  6. Hide Roof?

    in Other Pest Control

    Posted

    Bad day to try it out, the gale force winds collapsed my hide twice. On a brighter note I took a friend out who had never shot before. He shot his first crow then done pretty good at the clays for his first time using a shotgun.

    I was talking to a guy in a bar while I was on holiday who said he knows fury personally, and assured me that fury will beat wilder and joshua,

    Even though I can't stand fury it will be interesting to see what happens,

    We’ll just take this random blokes word for it then 😂

  8. Fury vs Wilder

    Fury bangs on about being unbeaten but who has he fought? More so who has he KO’d? He fought Klitschko when his wife was ill & boxed poorly. Fury hardly threw a punch. He was put on his **** by a cruiserweight & has fought poor fighters. Not all his fault but he’s missed over 2 years due to his mental health & drug habit. Wilders opposition has been better but he can take anyones head off with his windmills. Unless Fury can spoil the fight I can’t see anything else than Wilder knocking him out.

    I have 2 telescopic washing line props with spin locks I found in the garage. I’m going to cable tie them to the hide & hedge behind but leave a 3ft gap up front to take overhead shots. Will be covered with an army net. Will post how I got on as I’m taking a mate who has never been out shooting vermin.

    I am shooting crows on Friday but feel I’d have more success if I could build/fit a roof over my hide. I have a pop up screen hide that has 3 sides to it. I generally put this against the thickest part of the hedge so I have cover at the back. I don’t have any spare hide poles & wondered how anyone has successfully adapted a roof to their hide & what with? Thanks

    That's not very nice is it now.

    I kind of understand your reply,but is was not directed at you personally or other person that has posted. What I'm getting at is trying to understand why people spend their hard earned cash on a shotgun that you could pass down to their great grand kids. But then look for the cheapest cleaning stuff they can find.

    Sorry if I took your comments the wrong way Dougy, it appeared you were having a dig at me. I’m quite happy to buy a few products that will look after my gun. £650 may not be much to some but it was for me so I’d like to keep it in good condition.

    Chuckled reading this.

     

    Spends thousands on a shot gun, because you can, and you like it. And no doubt everyone knows at the shoot how much it cost you.

     

    But scrimp on pennies because your too tight to spend a couple of quid on cleaning products. 

    Please excuse my laughing. 😂

    I spent £650 on a used, old Beretta Dougy & asked a question on cleaning products. You’re laughing is excused as you’ve just made yourself look a bellend 👍🏻

    What products do members recommend for cleaning their guns? Separate products or are there reasonably priced kits available? Just bought a Beretta 686s & although its an older 2nd hand gun its a step up to what I’ve been using since getting my licence earlier this year. My first job is to move my cabinet out of the loft as I don’t think being up there has done my old guns any favours.

  20. Beretta White Onyx Field?

    Due to a recent job offer falling through I’m unable to pay as much as I would have for a 2nd hand gun. However, I’ve seen the above brand new from Sportsman Gun Centre & may buy on finance. Surely this will last me a long time if looked after? Anyone use one of these? I shoot vermin, some game & occasionally clays just to keep my eye in....

  25. Hull Superfast Pigeon?

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    After struggling with various cheap cartridges I tried Hull Superfast at a rare visit to the clays earlier this year. Couldn’t believe how well I shot with these cartridges. I started using the 7.5’s for pigeons/crows & again was impressed with how well they performed killing stone dead. After looking to try something different for the coming season I found Hull Superfast Pigeon in 6’s & wondered if anyone has used them? Intended to get some for walked up pheasant shooting this season.
