Nice shooting, and filming.

Wish I had one that's between 9 - 13 inches and tilts and swivels!

Thanks, ant.mass. It did the trick. Also thanks to everyone else who has helped. Much appreciated.

Excellent.

Hi Tom. Welcome to PW.

Thanks. I'll try it tonight when I get in from work. Failing that, 2 SG 8's may sort it!

Shot? It's still sitting on the branch. Excellent photograph again. I've just bought a Canon 50D with extra's. Can't wait to try it out.

Can't see any pictures!

Hi Carl. Welcome to PW.

Further to my last post regarding my PC running slow etc, (it's a bit faster now) I am now, when starting up the PC, getting a 'Windows Live Essensials' page, asking me to log on. Despite trying to remove this annoying thing, using the Add/Remove program in Windows XP, it refuses to delete! Is there another way to get rid of this program. Thanks Steve.

Permission for.22LR refused because of public footpaths nearby. I have an open ticket, but my mate, who applied, has not. This may have been the governing factor? I'm not against air rifles, I think most of us started out with one. Me, though, started my 'shooting life' with a very high powered, .177 GAT.

Hi Mark. Welcome to PW.

I've been to Cyprus many times. Stayed in Pernera and Protarus. I went to visit Paphos for a day, and thought it was okay. As a keen photographer, there was plenty to see. I haven't been to the Trudos mountains, but have been told that its brilliant there. Last year, I did a trip over to see the Pyramids in Giza. Now that's a site to see. Cost around 400 euro for the wife and myself but was worth every cent!

Good pictures + good shooting. Well done. :blink:

Me Too. :blink:

Soak the tail in Meths (in a plastic container) for a few days. This works. Better still. Buy some tanning powder (makes 2 gallons) from a firm called Snowdonia Taxidermy supplies. ( CP5 White Tan 2 gallon kit) I bought some, left the tail in for 24 hours, and it's brilliant. Steve.

Good Shooting. Well Done. :blink:

I want to purchase a spring powered/break barrel air rifle in .22. I only want it for the occasional rabbit shoot on a golf course, because .22LR was refused by the powers to be. I don't want to spend a fortune on something that will only be used, maybe once a month. There are loads out there to choose from. What would you recommend? Thanks Steve.

Cheers everyone. Not going to bother now. If I do gp ahead and buy one, I'll pay a bit more and get it from a UK supplier.

The NV scopes are advertised on ebay by a reputable seller. I don't think there would be a problem sending the scopes over here. I know that you can get 'gun parts' (depending on what they are) because I have bought items to modify my 10/22 from the USA.

My thanks to Alpha Mule, who sent me details of how to make the computer 'try and repair itself' After running it, a message said that my system had 'recovered from a serious error' Let's hope it stays that way. Thanks mate. :blink:

I just place a photograph of my ex-mother in law in my front window. It scares the **** out of them. I'm still frightened now after 30 years!
