I though as much, it makes sense, we have to be patient and wait it out.

It’s in .22 and not sure which model I’ll try a picture cheers

What’s the situation with NPPC members is it business as usual or is it call outs only or just a total no go ?

Bored ,bored, bored! So out in the garden with my brothers lightning trying to find out which pellets suit it. Didn’t get that far as it was giving 6inch groups @25mtrs with accupels, thought it might be me so got my HW95 1inch group with the first 5pellets. Which by my standards is going some. Now over the years we’ve had a couple of Lightning’s and they’ve both been very erratic. So just wondering wether any of you lads had any dealings with the BSAlightning and what your experiences were.

I like the look and convenience or the carbine hides, shooting from vehicles etc . So that’s good to know . Cheers

I see, so it’s more to do with velocity. I wonder what the shot count would drop to with standard barrel, probably still enough for hunting scenario.

Hi can any air gun buffs riddle me this, I’m wanting to buy a fac rifle, having had a conversation in the local gun shop about a BSA r10 se , It was said that the fac version would have increased barrel length than the standard sub 12 ft version. I accepted this not having great knowledge on the subject. Once I had left I got thinking about all the bull pup models like the fx wild cat etc, so if the increased length was for accuracy how come fx pull it off. Anyhow if any one can explain it that would clear things up a bit cheers in advance .

Thanks for the input lads, I think I’ll go A1 .It looks less moving parts plus two year warranty cheers paul

Cheers lakeside I looked into it I think it’s A1.

I , just got one about a month ago to replace me bucket which I used up end, so the padded lid is a luxury,can’t say I’ve used the swivel aspect of it much as I usually stand up to shoot. So fits in the bag and does what it says on tin or bucket.

Cheers lakeside who supplies the turbo flappers? Cheers Peejay, nowt better than a field test!

Yes that does seem to figure very highly, but looking at it ,there’s a lot of connections and mechanics going on, say compared to the A1 model. Wondering how all the gubbins would fair in transportation. Anyway thanks for your view .I think it’ll be one of the two above .

Cheers pigeonpopper, It is on the short list, what is this discount for pw members you speak of and more importantly how do you claim it ATB Paul.

Hi lads, Having shot for too many years with magnet and shell decoys and dead birds of course, I feel the relationship has gone a bit stale.I want to spice things up a bit in the decoying department. So I’ve decided to move into the twentieth and twenty first century and buy a new fangle flapper gizmo,apparently guaranteed to add excitement to a dull decoy pattern.So what I’m asking is,which ones best!

Have you tried the Guntrader site, there’s one or two on there.

Hi stu 2309, It is best if you ring and talk directly to John ,he’s a very straight forward guy, and in my experience very helpful. He’ll sort you out ,I’ve no doubt. Good luck Paul

Amen to that HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!

Cheers when I spoke to John he said there was a good amount around scotch corner and North Yorkshire area,so I may just pay me money and take me chances.ATB

How are you finding the NPPC land in general, I See you had a little confusion in a previous post , I only ask as I’ve just about got all my stuff together to join, any feedback much appreciated. Cheers Paul,

Enjoyed that video much more than watching Andy crow and George Digweed dropping stratospheric birds with oxygen tanks, good and honest, where abouts were you shooting. Keep them coming .cheers mate!

Which shoot do you beat on in Durham Dcd87.

I was up north of Morpeth a couple of weeks ago same story next to no rape and even fewer pigeons. But not to worry it’ll Turn good for you sooner or later.Just keep turning up!

Good luck, post a report let us know how you got on !

Hi Dcd87, welcome to pigeon watch ,new hear myself , but not new to the dark art of the pigeon, what specific advice were you after, I am quite local NW Durham.Happy to offer any help if required, well done with your new permissions,and good shooting. All the best Paul.

Well whatever happens it’s got to be better than been stuck in the house or worse still at work. The signs look ok so go and walk them off see what happens, if they start to drift back your in with a chance, but as you probably know with pigeons it’s anyones best guess. Good luck hope you have a red letter day.
