I think the people who are reacting to the tweet/instagram picture have no idea about clay pigeon shooting etc. The media has portrayed guns to be bad recently with the war on terror and current ISIS issue that people only see them as bad. The guy was just out enjoying himself and having a good time in the safety of experienced gun/clay shooters, whats the problem?

Oh i thought you meant you seen on Ebay that i had bought one lol

Yeh i tried shooting vest instead of skeet vest and a lot more came up! How did you spot that lol?

Thanks all, i have now bought one I too also found a bargain on ebay (not as good as yours though Lorius!) A hardly worn Gamebore Skeet Vest for £15 ATB Matt

Hi all, Im looking for a skeet vest, can be used and any make im not fussy. Im right handed so a right handed vest would be needed. Looking to spend about £25-£30 all in. Im a size XL or maybe a 2XL. Ta Matt

Well said mate. Ultimately only you can make the decision about what to do with the dog, we can only advise. Don't let people put you off what your heart thinks. Again i think you have done the right thing

Exactly that!

I hope you get better soon pal. It's a tough decision but i think id stand by you with this one. If it was me in your position i'd be saying the very same thing, it was partly my fault for being slightly clumsy. Should the dog have reacted the way it did? probably not. I think you've made the right decision in preventing anything like this happening again by making sure the dog is securly locked away when any visitors are around etc.

Hi all, Been watching this guys Youtube vids for a while now and thought you might like it too. He tends to destroys new technology, mainly iphones and games consoles with heavy weaponry, again mainly with a Barrett .50 Cal! Good thing is he has super slow motion cameras (50,000fps i think) so you can see the bullet enter and exit! Pretty cool! http://m.youtube.com/user/ratedrr ATB Matt

I totally disagree! pure nonsense! How do you expect school leavers to hold down a job without being able to travel? We had our first child when i was 20 and had a house, how would i have been able to afford that without being able to travel/commute? Im now almost 26 and have a 24 mile journey to work which would be impossible without the use of a car! Where meant to be encouraging young people into work not preventing them from working by not allowing them access to a car! How would i have carried my young family around if i had a no passenger rule/law? 25mph would limit you to 40mph roads tops because anything faster would be too dangerous at 25mph and in turn would probably cause more accidents and raise insurance premiums even more!

Amazing bag of birds that buddy! I've only just started shooting and cant wait to get on some land and get pigeon shooting!

It most certainly would and it would give him his just desserts, but would that make us as barbaric as them? That said he certainly doesnt derserve a quick and painless death if it where to come to it. Problem is the UK goverment want him alive so they can bring him to justice, to then chuck him in a prison where he will live a cushty life playing playstation and served warm meals every day like other prisoners? Ridiculous!

Never really bought too much from there but a friend had a few bad fish that didnt last long. Got most of ours from Wharf Aquatics in Pinxton

Trade the Mrs in and get more to spend.....

A good friend of mine had a huge corner tank that was a specialist Malawi tank set up. Exactly as you described, lots of white coral style rock with plenty of nooks and crannies. Agreed, the best fish you can buy for colour other than marines. Only problem is it's tends to only be the males that carry the bright colours, females tend to be brown and dull, but too many males causes territorial fights!

Looks the really nice especially finished in the green. Hope you have many years of enjoyable shooting with it

Am i correct in thinking with my very little Malawi experience that these fish can be quite distructive by nature? I know they are territorial and that a move around of funishings is always advised so they have to keep finding new territorys to help prevent them bullying other fish. Someone please correct me if im wrong.

I always renew with another insurer every year. I tend to be able to find a cheaper and better deal elsewhere most times. Dont think i've stayed with any insurer more than 1 year.

Easier said than done sometimes. Not sure what technology they use nowadays but im sure a country with 169,000 square miles it would be pretty hard to find someone!

Im in the No camp to ransom money being paid also. Its a sad fact that the more we give in to these terrorist the more we are loosing the war. Not only does it give them more incentive to kidnap more british nationals it also funds them to become better equiped when it comes to fire power!

Thanks for the advice Mungler. We have a mortgage already so sorted on the house front. Just wanted something i could fall back on and sell if the poo ever hit the fan in years to come. Good thing with a good investment is if i needed to sell up for the money then it could pay out more than it wad bought for. ill take a look into shares. Ive never looked into them before so its all new to me. Matt

Tbh mate i'll hold for when the time is right. Doesn't really matter if that's a year or 20 years. I may even pass it down the line for kids/grandkids. Although im only 25 so that may be a while lol Matt

Hi all. Ive been looking at things to invest in for the long term. I was firstly looking at rare/old coins but there's so many out there that i just don't know what to buy. It seems you also need a lot of knowledge into what you to buy and what not to buy This lead me on to buying into gold and silver bullion. Has anyone ever had an experience in buying into gold and silver as an investment? Anyone know any reputable dealers? I've searched the net and cant find much and these internet mail order sites seem like scams. I wouldn't be looking to buy much at the minute but the plan was to buy little every month with spare cash as investments for years to come. Can anyone share some experience? ATB Matt

I have a old BSA Lightning XL and the trigger is very light and smooth. Its no fancy 2 stage jobey but is easy to get a feel of. Not sure if its been lightend as i bought it off someone. A friend of mine bought a new chinese air rifle and you litrally had to squeeze as hard as you possibly could to fire it, horrible rifle it was!

Hi Mate. My local grounds are both Nottingham Gun Club and Cockett Farm. I've only been to Cocketts but they have memebers of staff that will come around with you have release clays for you on your shout. Its great as it means you can go on your own without the owrry of not being able to pull clays. I'd be up for a day out but may not be for a while as due to money circumstances the shotgun has to stay in the cabinet for a while. Back to air gunning for a bit :( Regards Matt
