Poor Shot

It's highly likely that she hasn't a clue what the songs mean and what connotations may be attached to it. It's likely that she was either asked to perform it or she's seen it in an Instagram short or a tik tok video and thought that was the done thing at these events. Like most has-beens she'll do anything and appear anywhere as long as there is a fee attached to it. It's also likely that she couldn't give a toss about Israel and Palestine and couldn't point them out on a map of the middle east. I am very surprised that there is a significant Palestinian population in Caerphilly (a relatively small town north of Cardiff) that could fill a village hall. It's most likely a group of virtue signaling labor supporters and students with dyed blue hair, smelly armpits and pubic hair sticking out their shorts who want to show their twitter followers just how left wing they are by supporting todays most popular cause. The same type who aggressively lobby the Senedd every time someone mentions the Badger cull on the news or glue themselves to the road chanting just stop oil.

I went for the Le Chemeau on the advise of that thread and did not regret it. They have been used near enough every day October to April through the 22/23 season and have been used almost every day since Oct 2023 clay shooting, beating and dog walking and with a good clean they would be as new. I would 100% recommend Le Chemeau as a quality item over the cheaper sub £85 options out there.

How would you have stopped a BOP going after a ferret that had surfaced? I appreciate the answer maybe not to slip the jesses (possibly incorrect terminology?) when a ferret is above ground but I'm sure you'll have encountered a situation in which both a rabbit bolts and ferret is above ground unbeknown to the BOP handler. BOPs don't strike me as having the ability to discern between prey animals and fellow working animals and any furry creature on the ground is fair game to them.

Some antique and competition rifles and target shooting disciplines use iron sights only which aren't really useable with a huge can stuck on the front of the barrel. When passed, how long before every PCC in the land starts boasting about how they cut firearms numbers by a third (approx the amount of mods vs actual firearms) during their term?

Sorry to hear that Serrac. You did the best you could for him.

Loosing power and control of the people I would imagine. The various ideologies, socialism, marxism, communism etc are just vehicles on which this control is based. The west currently has Net Zero and climate change as its vehicle of control and retention of power over the population. Just look at the whole mess that is the centralisation of food production that is being driven by various powers under the veil of Net Zero and reduction of over farming output across the EU as 'cow farts cause climate change'. The theory being that food is commodity that a population cannot survive without and if you control the food then you control the population. Bill Gates isn't the USA's largest owner of farmland because he's a fan of Clarksons farm.. (Perhaps I need to take a break from Joe Rogan podcasts 😆) I'm also not a climate change denier..

He never would have won. What's that Joseph Stalin quote? "It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes." Despite what they may claim, Russia are in the grips of a dictatorship which will never change as when Putin dies, the next one takes over.

My left index finger knuckle is covered completely by scar tissue from making a similar mistake. I was ferreting with a mate who had a small hob was a brilliant working animal but could not be handled without welding gloves once it had gotten the scent of rabbit in it's nose. It emerged from a hole on the side of a warren I was covering, he told me not to pick it up and he would jump over to and get it himself, I didn't listen and it latched on the skin covering my knuckle and damn near tore it completely off. Little ******.. 😆Once it had that toilet brush tail it was an evil little ***. I've also made sure that any of my ferrets were well handled and I was able to pick them up no matter what. It makes ferreting much easier when you can pick them up not having to worry for your fingers.

Great write up! I had ferrets as a kid well before I had firearms. I do miss them and think that using the ferrets to flush rabbits to a waiting gun would be a quite enjoyable rather than just netting them. I don't miss the lingering smell of rabbit innards on thrice washed hands though!

Also interested in No 5 should it not be suitable for the poster above.

Another good measure for anyone who's ever been Dublin is the spire of Dublin. A steel spire which extends 120m into air but when stood at the base looks to be at least 300m. I stood back a way and split it in half and even 60m seems like it would be an extremely long shot. I would say that most 'good' shots are 40m at most. I've tried them. They were about as good as any 21g lead cartridge and broke a good side on long going away and a big battue target without a problem. No recoil whatsoever, if it wasn't for the bang you'd think you had a misfire. Probably no good in a semi auto or an older inertia triggered gun. I was gifted a box but cost is (was in November) around £245 a thousand. If they are still at that price then a good deal for a club shooter.

Hard wired cameras can be circumvented with a balaclava.. Everything has a back door or a hole that can be exploited (stop laughing at the back).. Security is about building up multiple layers of deterents which make any potential intruder look for an easier target instead. CCTV, video doorbell, intruder alarm, barking dogs, PIR flood lighting and physical security such as enhanced door and window locks and locked gates are about as good as it gets for home security these days.

Potentially yes if Ring devices are ONVIF compatible then any ONVIF compatible network video recorder should be able to pick up the video feed and record it. I know the Ring app and software can take a feed from an ONVIF camera but I'm not 100% sure if it works the other way around. There'll be plenty of videos on youtube explaining how to do it. If you're not that IP network savvy then it's best left to a professional. Alternatively, ditch the Ring equipment and use standard wired and wireless IP CCTV systems. Most are plug and play these days and very simple to setup.

It's not the vehicle that is the issue. From a technical standpoint busses as machines are quite interesting. The problem is the people who you have to share the vehicle with. Only once it took me having to share a 30 minute bus ride next a man who I can only assume hadn't showered or even washed his *** for a week, had smoked a thousand cigarettes and drank a gallon of cider while waiting for the bus to make me reconsider my choice and take the car instead.

Yet as of the end of 2023 the Paris public transport vehicle fleet was still 46% diesel fueled with 6,675 diesel fueled busses serving the Paris metropolitan area. Just 10% of them were zero emission with 1,536 zero emission buses. The rest is made up of light rail, metro and heavy rail vehicles of non-disclosed fuel types. Localised governments should be leading from the front and not just attacking the private user because its fashionable amongst the inner-city voter. I understand the Paris proposal includes all vehicles of a certain size/ weight category and is purely a 'we hate your expensive, heavy and supposedly polluting private cars' attack on people for whom the alternatives don't stack up unless you penalise them with punitive charges and taxes.

I've no idea but I know we have raised a lot of funds through the club in addition to the BASC loan. I wouldn't be surprised if the total cost of land only was over £65k and that was on favorable terms. At this point in time I very much doubt that you would find any for sale that have the appropriate access rights, sporting rights etc.. The brief summarisations of the legal process that were shared during the club meetings would lead you to believe that it's an absolute minefield and you could well end up buying a load of land only for someone to put in a claim for the sporting rights that have been in their family since the 1800's or some other such technically. The legal costs alone to sort that out could easily double the cost overnight. What isn't owned by the crown and leased out will have been snapped up by wildfowling clubs, RSPB etc well before now. Even if you do manage to get hold of some then you would perhaps need to navigate the consenting process with NRW, NE or NS and have a responsibility for the management of the land. It's probably easier for the private individual to lease or rent the sporting rights for an inland pond with surrounding land to get your wildfowling fix. It also has the benefit of not having punitive consenting or bag limits enforced on it.

I have a similar safe but a double key locking 10 gun version. Build quality is good and I would have no issue buying what you are proposing. It's been in for two years to date and I've no issues with it. What I can tell you is that at no time will you ever be able to fit 6 x scoped rifles in there and be able to easily access them at the same time. I have a shotgun, 2 x scoped PCP air rifles, a rimfire and centrefire rifle in mine and it's just about full and a faf to get the lesser used guns out of the RHS of the safe. Everyday guns are stored to the left and others are stored to the right like sardines in a can meaning I have to take every other gun out to get to them. It would take 10 x sxs shotguns or non scoped rifles no problem. It's scopes, mods, bipods and slings that cause the issues.

WWCA member - Very brief summarisation of the process but the land was sold to the club at a favorable cost by the estate of a former club supporter and does not reflect the true value of the land. The club also held rounds of donation and fund raising to complete the remainder of the purchase above the BASC loan. I'm not sure how intertidal mud flats can be worth anything other than for shooting, fishing or conservation rights. If Al Gore is to believed, the land purchased will be well under water in a few years anyway. I'm sure the RSPB would of have been very keen to get their hands on this land and rid that marsh of the shooting scum once and for all. The club committee worked tirelessly and explored all options to ensure that wasn't the case. Some of whom are too old to really shoot anymore so the work they put into the purchase was done selflessly and to ensure that the club had a future well beyond their years.

Ok. I've sent a message across. Thanks

I'm interested. Are they plastic or fibre WAD?

******... Older posts should really be locked to all but the OP after a period of inactivity.

You can order cartridges through a few different online sites but there is usually a process to follow to get yourself setup on their systems. JustCartridges are probably the most popular but they do tend to be 15% - 20% more expensive than a local shop with a hefty delivery charge on top. Unless you're ordering in bulk with with a few mates to make the delivery charges worth while or you're after something rare like Bismuth 16 bore cartridges then there's no point. Local gun shops - Unless they have a pricelist you can look at while in the shop then don't bother and go somewhere else. If they aren't open with their pricing then it's likely they aren't giving you what you've asked for but what they want to sell at that time.

It doesn't but you can assume as such with thermal and NV being modern tools of the trade. NV provides a pretty clear image of what your shooting at whereas one is more likely to misuse thermal, shoot through hedges, cover etc.. It's not difficult to envisage a scenario in which someone who has become complacent and has taken risks previously by shooting at heat signatures through hedges, reeds etc can mistake a partial signature of a person for that of a fox. More so that if the person thought they were on the path to be the hero that shot a fox as it was preying on a birthing calf. It just highlights the requirement for us to check ourselves every now and then and remind ourselves that rifles aren't playthings and there is no rewind button. Once that trigger is pulled there is no recalling that shot and there is no do-over. If you're able to shoot with the mindset that if you **** up then you're in for a lot of trouble and that it's always better to not take a questionable shot and be able to talk about the one that got away rather than talk of regret of pulling that trigger. But that can sometimes be lost in the heat of the moment.

Gun fit in that case. Also a gun should come to you and not you to the gun when mounting. I had similar with a low combed Beretta which meant my right eye was being partially blocked by the back of the action with my left eye taking over to compensate. The action was only slightly impeding the view of my right eye but it was enough to cause the left eye to take over. It took a visit to a gun fitter to pick this up. He then bent the stock to provide a higher comb and the issue disappeared. You'll probably find that you're lifting your head from the stock slightly when shooting in the field to get a better/ correct view. When mounting to a mirror you'll be making a conscious effort to do it properly which is then causing the issue because the comb is too low. If the O/U has an adjustable comb then raise it a little and check again, rinse and repeat until you get the right result. If you do raise the comb then you'll be seeing a lot more rib than the relatively flat shooting Venza S/A and your sight picture will change. You'll need to spend some time shooting clay targets to get used to keeping the target above the bead rather keeping it in line with your barrels. In any case you should be shooting a shotgun rather than aiming it but it will still take some getting used to.

If true then that's tragic and really does highlight that they aren't toys and users shouldn't just be shooting at heat signatures without first being 100% of what they are shooting at. Better it gets away for next time than potentially losing it all and spending a few years behind bars.
