  1. I've had a s410 and now have a hw100 which I consider to be a lot better, I shoot 4 mags before refilling with air, no problems in over five years of pest control.
  2. I've got one somewhere, will try to find it.
  3. Whilst out on pest control heard a Cuckoo for the first time this year.
  4. Didn't like to mention the Le mans 850 Mk1 I had, it tried to kill me too many times!

    Fx drs,

    Like the look of this fx and its light weight would be an advantage with my dodgy shoulders. Any chance of an update in how you are getting on with it.
  6. Yes the weather has been a bit damp but managed to get out twice last week and scored three and had to do a temporary fix on a flip top lid which was empty and chewed. Well back today and nothing doing on the first feeder, level hardly gone down, so on to the temp mended one and no peanuts and no lid!, I did have the foresight to take another flip top with me so swapped them over and waited in a very cold breeze for something to happen, three hours later all I had seen was a randy hare chasing his mate.
  7. Been on two wheels for about 50 years starting off on step thrus going up and down the lonning to a fsie when I was 16, also had an ap50 when the fizzy seized, wow do these mopeds make money now, had a brand new kh250 which also seized! loved my 400/4 used to race to work against a guy on a cb900, he used to leave me on the straights and I'd catch him up on the corners, had a british bitser firstly with a 3ta engine in a bsa a65 frame, then got a a65 engine, a right grot bike which lived up to its name winning many rally trophies, been to over 100 bike rallies, the furthest away in holland, been round europe to gp's and up to the nord cap(cold and wet).Had to sell all my bikes to fund house ownership but when I got a new job with more money thought I'd give hillclimbing a go so bought a kx250, super motoed it and went all over the country trying to win the NHCA 250cc class, damn only came second crashing on the last event of the year going for glory. Not going to give up went road racing the year later on the same bike, sometimes winning my class only for some numpty to knock me off in practice smashing my left leg, severe leg restriction movement meant I could only ride forward footrest bikes so bought a harley, now got a 1200 speedmaster bonneville, would go out on it if it would ever stop raining!!

  10. Back out to the sydicates wood to ambush the flip top, quite a wait when out of the corner of my eye I saw a grey coming up close on the right, I stayed rock still and it passed just a couple of yards away and veered off towards the feeder then I lost sight of it, was waiting for it to hop on the feeder but nothing happened. Back waiting again when I heard the lid bang, ah ha squirrel on, shifted position to line up and squirrel gone, blast! Waited for a long time again and nothing appeared on the box even though it was empty the day before, maybe they were that fat they couldn't move now. Was scanning all around when I saw a grey perched on a branch looking right at me, wasn't going to wait for it to go on the box, was gonna take my chance and this time it never moved until the pellet hit and down it went.
  11. As I was out last time in the morning and saw nothing even though the feed level had gone down I decided to give the afternoon a go although its not my favourite time of the day for shooting, I find it very quiet. So yesterday afternoon I was waiting patiently in ambush and did have some success with two shot in two hours so a change is as good as a rest!
