One off the bird feeder this morning, first for a while. I've noticed I'm getting a lot more small birds spending more time on my feeders without the squirrels being about.

Had a morning out yesterday with fisheruk, he managed one I didn't get a shot, a great place and possibly spotted a red but it was in the top of a pine and couldn't be sure. A bit like hawkfanz says we have to be out early doors before the dog walkers but what fisheruk has been doing has to be working, because reds are being spotted and given the habitat there are a lot less greys about than you would find in a similar place.

as for what rifle, well my misses can shoot my rapid ok if she's resting on something, but the reach/ fit isn't quite right for her so I would say a junior model might be easier for her. Needs to put her hands on something and see how they feel.
what about one of the Crossman guns rat catcher or the likes using the throw away air cartridges, small pretty cheap, lots you can change on them, folk have said elsewhere just don't get the plastic breech.

From what I recall your around 70 ish? I wouldn't bother getting a bottle and set up if you have somewhere close enough by to top up your rifle, I've managed for probably 15 years or more but I just take the buddy bottle somewhere, my local gunshop Bamfords charged me £2 for two bottles last week!! Just be careful what else you buy ?

Wot sort of energy would you expect a .177 to be holding at 45 yards stu? I just be worried about a slight movement of me or the quarry at that range and so the risk of injuring something jumps up, fac obviously different.
I was playing about the other day shooting paper at about 40mt mainly because something seemed wrong with my trigger and that's where the target was, its .22 so lots slower couple of shots were fine but also a couple probably an inch off target, so could have been a clean miss or something wounded.

I hope so, just be trying to find an answer, Some movie quote page, running adds for gum tree, pics of women in panties for sale? How random is that??

I'm with DM I recognise the quote and know I've seen it but......... Arh

Well I know folk like saying you can take 40 and 45 yard shots with a.177, well I've been reading a lot of old air rifle mags in work from the 90's and most folk are still saying 35yards is your maximum range for an air rifle, the whole idea of 12ftb air rifles being you have to get close enough to use them.
might be I'm not as good a shot as others but 35yards would be my max and would still want something to lean on and little wind, 40 and 45 yards especially with a .22 on a twitchy movable target, not for me.

We'll I'm happy to say my daughter who is 6 has been coming home every day from school this week telling me why we wear poppies, the soldiers played football on Christmas day and lots of other buts and pieces which have lead to lots if other questions, we went to a monument yesterday and the remembrance parade today un Leyland which I'm happy to say had a great turn out.
very apt as well walshie.

I'm using an iPad or iPhone, I can just use the pictures I have taken by clicking "click to choose files" then it asks me if I want to either take a photo/video or choose one from my library or cloud storage,
what method do you use?
hey Shaun, on my windows phone I do the click to choose files, but first I have to resize the photo first to suit the limit.
ignore me, hadn't noticed the limit is now 2.93mb so yes click and go great, my bad.

Posting pictures is a lot easier now than it used to be ?
I'm still doing exactly the same as before? Am I missing a trick?

How about agency work? I get loads of emails because my cv mentions auto-cad, just about do the basics, or could but the amount of design stuff I get sent is unreal.
-
well I failed again, two pellets in and very stuck, I should really measure the skirt but someone left the pen on my bench.
-
It's all go, well done chaps can't beat having your own place no one to tell you what to do, except the misses. Sounds like Mr Hendrix forgot that part so she reminded him who's the boss.

Greetings hidenseek , your not allowed to say anything disrespectful about AA, other than that its lots of fun.
walker, found another pen in work, Staedtler stick 430 M its a touch bigger so I think it will work a treat for me.
-
well I've never used it because I don't know how so wouldn't have missed it, but thanks DM
also like the notification you get when someone quotes you and the fact you can go straight to it, so less hunting about.
-
Nice write up, sounds like a day you will remember, the only question no one has asked is what kind of dog were you using, could have been fun had it gone dark without fido there, he earned hus supper.
-
has ditchy gone missing since the upgrade? Can someone pop round and check he's ok
-
so what's strike out text?
I found yesterday that images that were near the limit wouldn't load, and if I wanted to put on more than one photo then I had to wait between loading them, before I just put them on individual but didn't have to come off the thread?

Is it just me or is it quieter on these boards since the update. ?
I was thinking just that last night
-
Thought it might be a stop gap, just tried it and I cant get the .22 pellets in need something a little bigger, back of the drill measured about 5.4 even though it was a5.5
-
Now then, I haven't tried this with pellets but had a brainwave whilst hard at work? Standard bic biro, still with me, take out nib and ink bit( technical term) the bore at the back end of the pen just allows a 5.5 mm drill bit so probably too tight( find out at 8-20) for .22 hopefully not to slack for your .177(4.5mm).
load in your pellets at home, or let the misses do it for you, in my mind your loading device allows only one pellet in at a time? you use the second biro which is normal to push your pellet in as if you were putting the ink part back in.
its not going to be super secure with only the pen lid holding in the pellets but you could put the pens in a cartridge wallet.
hopefully give you something to play with over breakfast.

couple of pictures, with bits of info fella

still works the same as before off my phone, resize to suit .29mb then click to choose files ?
