  1. I will take the 36" Schofell Breeks if they are still available
  2. shame you are so far away ( I'm based in Pershore Worcestershire ) as would have bought that
  3. Thanks it was an awesome day , I can see the appeal of shooting pigeons like driven game birds, I think Old'un prefers it now-a-days to shooting from a hide.
  4. I was very fortunate to be invited by old'un to shoot some pigeons on one of his permissions. We met up last Monday 10am on a fresh cut barley field. There was some pigeons about but there was no standout flight line. We watched this for about an hour, before coming up with a plan. A flight line was starting appear so old'un suggested I shoot at a few to see if it made any difference to the emerging flight line ( which it did, it moved a little further down the field ). I set up my hide under the flight line, tucked into the hedge and put out the magnet and decoys, using the few I managed to shoot from standing under the trees. Old'un went for a drive round before before settling in the shadow of some trees and started to pick them of like driven birds, it was an amazing day, and as always Learnt a lot from Old'un, I shot some good birds and missed some that nobody should miss ( I think some would have been harder to miss 😔) by 4pm i was done. i had been sat in the sun for about 4 hours and was melting, So we decided to call it a day, and finished up with about 105 down and 88 picked. after getting home it took me 2hours to breast out the birds and get them in the freezer. there is going to be pigeon burger on the menu at our next BBQ! thanks again Old'un, your a star.
  5. missed this one, but if anybody else is selling the same thing, let me know
  6. Our local shoots are really struggling to get rid of them. I have been taking up to 200 birds ( pheasant, partridge and duck) to work. there is a lot people working for minimum wage and something free for the oven is much appreciated. some are a little apprehensive to pluck and butcher the birds and in this case I will do it for them so they can at least try some the most organic, free range and health forms of protein available. I feel like there is a whole generation in our country who were brought up with the supermarket and pre-prepared food. if anyone in the wocestershire area ( Pershore) does require some birds, just let me know.
  7. This is the one I bought. it makes the whole setup quite heavy, but I have been shooting from a rest.

    Polymyalgia

    Im happy to carry your gear Dave, all you have to do is ask.
  9. the retical on my scope can be red, green and black. the torch works a treat with a red light, I bagged a few bunnines with it last week 👍
  10. I had a phone call from old'un last week offering me some shooting over some rape. well I wasn't going to say no !!! I am quite fortunate ( not as fortunate as you retired chaps) that I only work 4 days a week. He ask if I could go to his permission on Friday morning and see what I could do. I haven't done much pigeon shooting over the last couple of years, my main focus being helping out on our little syndicate shoot and beating on 3 others. well, the birds turned up for the party but me and my little non ejector side by side did not! I was not the best shot, but I had a whale of a time. I could come up with a thousand excuses, but the bottom line is some of the birds bested me ( to much time shooting easy pheasants ) I cannot thank old'un enough for trusting me with is permission, and the way I look at is, the farmer got what he wanted ( birds off his crop). I had great fun, and because i missed so many old'un with have some bird to shoot when he can get there. everyone's a winner. If anybody has any bird scaring requirements, just drop me a call,
  11. Sorry for the delayed response. I went with a mountable torch with 3 different colour LEDs
  12. Thanks Ant if you could send me a few details. I would prefer look through scope type but cost with probably be the deciding factor I only have a budget of up to £150
  13. Good afternoon all, I have bean asked by a land owner to help with a bunny problem, so I'm looking for a cheap night vision add on for my sub 12lb air rifle. I am not interested with recording, taking photos or pinging footage to the interweb. any recommendations ?
  14. yeh that price is fine if you throw in 2 brass snap caps. how do you want paying ?
  15. It has no markings on it to say its a rimfire mod. Its only on the packaging Yep all metal construction
  16. Good afternoon all, I have been offered a Barton gunworks Parker hale rimfire silencer in 22. For a good price. Is there an difference between the .22 rimfire silencer. And a .22 air rifle silencer?
  17. Cheers I will have a look at them
  18. Cool. Let's hope someone reading this has the same thoughts
  19. Cheers bud I will add it to my list
  20. Thanks bud. That's the sort of thing I was hoping for.
  21. Hi all. I am of shopping in the worcestershire area for an air rifle tomorrow. I mainly shoot shotguns, so I need a little advice. I only have a budget of £450. And I intend to use it for pest control around Stables and farm yards. Would my friends on PW recomend I buy a good quality S/H Springer or do I have enough to buy a half decent S/H PCP ?
  22. I have always found a bore snake works a treat, just spray the part of the snake with the bristles with barrel cleaner and the tail end with gun oil. I never need to run it through more than 3 times each barrels and it brings the barrel back to like new.
