Interesting. My son (11) has started shooting this year and has no interest in clayshooting and only wants to shoot Vermin and game but has been taken clay shooting as a way to learn, he’s been taught by the local gun smith who is an excellent game coach and he is making progress, is safe and will be coached on peg at this years keepers day. He’s shortly going to be strong enough for a double to replace his single 20 bore, so .. ou or sxs?

I applied for FAC after having SGC for 18 months (during which time I hadn’t endangered anyone) and was granted 22rf/17hmr(at fao suggestion) and 243 with Fox + aolq straight away due to having good reason. If people are negligent and dangerous then they don’t need a FAC to cause problems, I think that the FAO can suss the situation out by the interview (my char lasted about an hour) and their DD in speaking to landowners etc. Having no previous experience of firearms doesn’t make people dangerous as having experience doesn’t make muppets safe. However, it could be a good idea for any new shooter of FAC, SGC or air (when that is licenced) to need to pass a cerficate of general competancy

That’s is a good idea , many thanks

Good stuff, makes sense, one ran 20M in front of me yesterday evening about an hour before dark... Looks like I need to get some wheat and a few apples once high seat built

It’s literally a case of drawing them out of exactly this habitat, they come out into the grass/ bracken margins and eat the winter wheat shoots

Brilliant thankswill give that a go...

Brill, thanks! Ordered new charger as suggested, will see how that goes..

Awesome thanks, maybe just need more batteries...

I bought a T75 kit which came with batteries and a charger which seem to be reasonably poor quality and don’t hold charge for long. Any suggestions for alternatives? Thks

Much of my permission borders a woodland trust site over which no one has stalking permission. There isn’t too much damage there to be honest but the wood holds a number of Roe, Fallow and Muntjac deer. The Roe and Fallow deer happily wander across my permission but the muntjac hold tight in the woodland trust. Would a salt or molasses lick help to move the Muntjac onto my permission?

Suggestions for these greatly appreciated, thx

Brilliant, thanks that what I needed to know! Sounds expensive.... 😀😀

Whoops I mean the clear view net (admin please edit if poss?) i have the ghost stuff already

Does anyone use the thin stealth ghost type netting at the top of their hides? I have the 3 ply stuff which is tough to see through and peering over the top is awkward and spooks corvids. Opinions and suitable vendors appreciated!

It’s now 20 years to the day since I had home internet. In your opinion, all things considered, in one word, has the internet improved life? Feels like a zero sum game to me....

Just wish I had spare space..

Jesus, too slow again!

Damn.. too slow, I’m interested if the other chap changes heart or is abducted by aliens.

Good game larder for someone

I don’t think it’s cheap I’m afraid, have you thought of looking at the wildfowling clubs some of them have permission (although not as much as some claim)

Thanks for this, that rules it out for me!

Sounds good, yep it’s for wing shooting, just keen to try one to be quite honest, nothing wrong with the gun as stands and agree that with my other guns I never see the gun at all, just quarry (especially sxs which H and H fitted for me) Ive never quite gelled with the Franchi so thought I’d give this a go as it seems to shoot a little low, if I can’t get on with it then I’ll stick on an air rifle for kids.

Eye, cheek and bead on the end of your shotgun? Must be cluttered! Take your point, but I’d like to try red dot, nothing ventured and all that!

Brill, which Hawke model please? Hi, which is this please?

I see... never seen anything that dimension tbh, maybe army surplus store?
