  1. hold the bird in 1 hand head facing away from you slide your other hand up the back of the bird where the wings meet the body just underneath ul feel soft tissue squeze hard in that tissue with finger and thumb till they touch and keep there the bird will shudder and stop its over very quick no fuss may take a lil practice but find better than priests or spinning tried all until i was shown this method.
  2. painted 20 old plastic decoys in black gloss bit back was 7 quid for a small tin nice n thick easy to put on hard wearing wasnt sure at first but friend of mine painted his in gloss for an experiment after seeing crows feathers slightly glossy and shine in sun seems to work very very well.
  3. never bothered changing chokes when had o/u shoot sxs now with fixed imp and 1/4 never ne problems but it your money agree with the above
  4. i have trickle charges to just leave em plugged in and thats it but biggest i charge is a 12ah
  5. put the spike up pigeons backside into head, the cradle you got slips over same spike to right length then the 2 blunt spikes on the cradle go through the white wing bars (meaty bit) once through pop some silicone tubing or similar on end of spike so cant come out of wings again hope this helps
  6. is there just you with permission on that land? seen similar results after being ferreted in good spots. if it was mixi ud still be seeing em. all i can say is pop back if possible just before dawn and again at dusk or at night with lamp if still nowt wait a month till cold weather hits if nowt then then they booked it packed it and ****** off lol
  7. you dont see feeding pigeons regemented so put a few in one direction and a few in another make it look more natural dont think it matters much anyway tbh put your pattern right then put your decoys facing here n there
  8. if you only getting the one think about a breakdown safe and stash it under stairs or spare room ect all depends on your force and what room you got you really want to alter locks in garage or get it alarmed if you can possibly squeeze room in house ask feo mate.
  9. if i had the choice none done some sub work for both but virgin is def better of the 2

    scam itl fool people into usualy logging into a website that looks authentic but might have a spelling error or say. net instead of . com soon as you log in with your details they got ya. ring bt best advice theyl prob want the details.
  11. last year got a call can you get on that rape thousands hammering it ( we all know farmers thousands dont we) went next morn never even saw a pigeon saw 1 crow n dropped it where the went know on knows lol
  12. For winter rape use me shells on top of some fiberglass farmers cane bout 2.5ft long gets em well clear and move like mad there bout 1.5ft clear but birds looking dowm not level works for me ne way
  13. my friend done very same thing with his old plastic pigeon shell decoys seems to work fine for him so much so thinking of doing it my self with my old ones curiosly he chose black gloss and stands buy his descision that crows do shine in the sun.
  14. wouldnt have thought you would shoot many with bring your own shotgun n carts bang ..... bang goodbye everything within 400 yards or did the add insist on hushpower hehe
  15. had exac same problem couple of farmers pointed out busy spots seen 20 or so through day gone to look signs are there fresh **** scrats in field deep holes we know there there went back 3 nights with 22 to lamp em nothing got one no one ferreted or ne thing not too happy seems very strange however seen few foxes in that area recently got 3 so far thinking he may have made his rounds before we got there one place hed definatly been left a fresh present but seen it before go back in a month itl be like watership down lol so for min im just putting it down to bad timing.
  16. dont worry bout ringing em get em rung mate ask em politly how far along it is dont ask when you gona get it just how far along it is sometimes they may tell you its ready to be signed by chief of police in your force.theres no way to rush em unfortunatly but it may give you an indication if it is ready to be signed they usualy look at that once a week ive been told, so if it at that stage should be two week ish, but have heard some horror stories, but west yorks been good recently variation was back in 2.5 week and renewals in 3 i cant complain good luck.
  17. not same but i got max 4 thermo boots did what they say on the tin tbh found em too warm barring the most cold weather like last winter was good buy.
  18. seen a few flocks in linconshire on rape already usualy find up here it mid dec tho
  19. good advice buy bigger than you need you will fill it i promise i bought a 4 gun then had to buy a second 5 gun
  20. anything from mequiars range dear but very very good
  21. aye the old lead debate lol well my dad used to practicly give no lead on pigeons where as i may give 3 inch i have a steady swing i can never tell somebody how much lead to give they may have a slow swing or a very vast swing then theres range to youl get your own style eventualy mate get someone to go with you and look behind you or join a clay club for a few pointers theres also some good books to have a glance at if you a boring f####r like me shotgun marksmanship by percy stanbury and g l carlisle old book but will answer many questions you have and also the better shot by ken davies and holland and holland bit more modern. try and get the birds as close as poss if you start your pattern close say 15/20 yard by the time your birds get into killing area they hopefully be 25 to 35 yard away good clean kills again loadsa books and info on this forum or google on subject, 1 little tip i will give you is get yourself a pocket notebook when you 1st start get all the info on all patterns wind directions everything you can lay your hands on and simple sketch it into the notebook wind, hide, = decoy pattern this ect then if you ever in a situation where you thinks *** am i gona do here you got the info with you and happy days the more you do it the less ul need to look at it. if the birds you are after are 6o yard away you need to get em closer mate dont think its fair on the bird taking shots at that range if you not sure you may even hit them and not know and they die later, are you decoying these birds or shooting under flightline if you doin flightline have a quick rece you may find the birds are actualy roosting on your patch and tackle em that way now leaves are droping if not you could always try some lofters to to try n bring em down into range if you trying to decoy em onto something they dont want get on you may be ******* into wind cos theyl gladly keep flying if everything aint hunky dory.
  22. if you havnt sent it off already look at a coterminous license not much more and you can get shotgun and firearms that run out at same time get best both worlds. regarding gun the majority of ppl start of with a 22 rf (some dont they go straight for 17hmr before anyone corrects me lol) but 22rf cheap to feed bolt action or semi is down to personal prefrence google it put in 22rf semi auto or bolt action a good bet and ul get loadsa info specialy american sites they love it, ive heard some semi autos wont cycle certain makes of bullets but i had a brno bolt action that wouldnt cycle cci rounds
  23. aye just what i was thinking think i needed to here other people say it i bought a cz style 22 new n figured itl shoot no differnt to a s/h one. looking at scopes saw some nikko sterling gamekings and bushnell banner scopes at cheap prices but heard mixed reviews trying to avoid spending a fortune promised the mrs a ring 8 month ago and now rolling up with a new setup wont go down to well but it has to be done lol however finding a s/h one seems to be easier said than done all the local rfd seem to have new stock atm.
