  1. Yep ! This one is even mimicking me 😁
  2. And everyone ignores them anyway.......especially if they leave their shopping lights on !
  3. I guess you must be lucky, maybe you have vegan magpies ? I wish we had them here. Every year I witness the damage that magpies do to ALL nesting birds, but being in the middle of a concrete jungle, I am unable to do anything about their control.
  4. So it's a bit like a breakdown in lane 3 then ? Pushing your car across 2 live lanes is not really an option ?
  5. The only way ANY motorway is safe is when it is empty. Or any other road for that matter. I read this week that road workers are being attacked by irate idiot drivers who dislike having their journey disrupted. While these clowns are driving on our roads, no road is safe.
  6. Looking for I/C and Skeet, Briley 12 bore extended chokes to fit Browning STANDARD Invector please.
  7. Remember the shilling gas meters, in the 1960's I was fitting them ! 😄
  8. Prices have increased, BUT, I still believe that a used Japanese or Italian gun, is a better buy than some of the cheaper makes. The bottom line is, whatever makes YOU happy, is the right one. Having confidence in the gun is well on the way to shooting enjoyment.
  9. I have recently given away some 30 odd Flexicoy decoys, none like that though. The flexicoys had a 'bellows' style base, where the stick went in, it was this that ballooned them out.
  10. Gun shops will always push the new gun over a used model. It's all about 'mark up' ! The new gun with its warranty, (which you may well need) is likely to lose a lot more money, than a good make used gun will.
  11. You mentioned that you 'feel' the heavier gun more, after some shooting. I suggest that is caused by using muscles that you do NOT normally use, but would ease after you did a bit more shooting, especially if you practice your gun mounting at home between shoots. I would look for an average weight of close to 8lbs. especially if you plan on doing 100 bird shoots. I am nearly 80 and use an 8lbs gun with 30" barrels. I try to shoot at least once a week using a mix of 24 and 28 gram cartridges, I am not aware of any recoil issues.
  12. Thank you, I did. I have had 4 different devices from the local TV/Audio shop, none of them have worked. The device is provided by, and installed, by a TV engineer, via the local council. He said the new sets do not have audio facilities, although they do have Bluetooth. I am hoping to borrow a set of headphones off the Grandkids, to see if they will work. I thank you for your help.
