Hello, Just an Update, Well today Stuart and Myself went to Farmoor today Trout Fishing as per my offer, The Weather was reasonable, a few sunny spells in between showers and a nice breeze, Farmoor had changed the Hours with no evening fishing finishing at 5 pm, Hence Stewart bought the 2 Fish Ticket and we started at 11 am, a bit of casting practice on the grass and then on water, Trout were mid water but my W/F 7 Floater and a buzzer did not do well until the trout were surface topping in the wind lane 30/40 ft out, around 2 pm there were rising all over , no long casting needed , hooked and lost a nice fish then Stewart hooked in to another which was duly netted, a 2.5 llb nice Rainbow trout, We hooked into another but that got away, A good day for a first time fishing and Stewart taking home his first fly rod caught trout, cheers

Hello, thanks to reply, i seem to remember some auto focus Cannon binoculars but never heard of Dowling and Rowe, i will keep a look out for some, Today on Farmoor with Stuart another PW member i tried the Zoom Binoculars i bought yesterday and could see others fishing across the other side of No 2 Reservoir ,

Hello, no your right but i never had any problem with the loading bolt system, as it happen the rifle is still going well with new owner

Hello, Nothing wrong with the loading of a Air Arms S410 , The magazines are good if you look after them, easy to load,easy to locate in breach, i had a 410 and shot 100s if not a few 1000s of pellets over 5/6 years and never had any problems,

Hello, John only has a 177 Magazine for the FX Dreamline which is the same as the Crown, i asked if he makes .25 single shot loaders ??

Hello, if maybe of interest i have a FX Verminator MK 1 22 in PW sales, 200 shots per fill, VGC and working order, recent full service, Case etc

Hello, Thanks to reply, cannot remember what i paid when i bought them but they were the best for the money i had at that time, i have just tried those binoculars i bought yesterday, after a good clean, the zoom works very well and diopter is on lowest setting, not as good to the Pyser but i did not expect that, still a good buy,

Hello, i use to catch a lot of rats in Traps from the Trap Man, they take a few days to get use to it where i placed it in an old dairy , Will wait to see on the GF when they show a map of who will be exhibiting , cheers

Hello, as above, today was no exception, perusing in the charity shop i spied an interesting pair of Binoculars, sold by Boots called Fleet, interesting name but then i see made in Japan, i reckon 1980s ?? They Zoom, 7 - 15 x 35 after a very good clean up i am surprised how good they are, not up to the standard you might need for stalking etc, a few weeks ago i found another pair, Scope over Field 9 x 35 Made in Japan, Now this is interesting , on the strap were 2 Labels from 1968 and 1969 Newbury Race Course Club Stand for Gentlemen, July 13th/July 12th, Makes me wonder who this Gentleman was ??, This has a lovely leather square case, Another pair i found was at Oxford market, Called WALLER ZCF DE LUX , Fine coated 8 x 40 , Made in Japan, Excellent Optics, Not sure on date, ??, My best Pair i bought many many years ago, called PYSER- SGI EAGLE 10 x 42 Waterproof , Made in Japan, outstanding Optics, good as my Hawke Monoculars 8 x 40, i did have 2 more pairs of old Carl Zeiss , they must have been over 50 years old and good as the day made, Superb Optics, Alas i was offered some £££sss so they went to 2 Pigeon shooters, so any more PW members like me ?????,

Hello, i am sure these City Councils much like Oxford and even Town Councils have a Think Tank department where they look at every aspect of Council spending and Council needing , then find a way of charging more money to local people as mentioned with the Trent parking permit , Ultimately the £400 will be added to customer bills which may stop people from hiring a local trader, Oxford City have just put a car park with a few spaces used by a Boat Club into a full public car park just to get more money, 🤔 , -
Hello, This is one stupid idea and putting it mildly , already people have died, there is a TV programme on this tonight, is there a map of UK showing all the roads with these Smart motor way sections, not that i drive much these days

Hello, i use to see quite a few Kingfishers around the Thames area here in town but so far this year not seen any, i wonder if that is due to the pollution from Sewage outflows that has been on the news these last few years,

Hello, hope you can get the video sorted as looking forward to watching, 👍, There is hardly a pigeon around these parts as fields to wet for drilling so it is nice to see a PW member shooting, i remember Pompey when i was a wee lad i use go and meet my dad off the ship when he returned from leave

Hello, if you have some old shell or whole body pigeon decoys , not those flocks, i bought a can of black matt spray about £3 and coated the old deeks and they work well, never tried Sillosocks but do look good, Tidepool have an Ebay shop £28 for 6 pigeon,
