    Anyone asking for free shooting on the internet is simply lazy or tight.

    Shooting is relatively easy to get all year round. Join a syndicate (small to large) and many will allow shooting all year round. 

    Or wet behind the ears like I was 15 years ago when  I joined the forum, but lucky for me I got a response and have been happily shooting away since.

     

    But I would say the best way to get land is offer help beating on a local shoot or drive round looking for crop damage and offer to shoot that field as a one off and build the foundations from there..... 

  2. I had an old Hawke scope that I sent back to be repaired, but its past its use and they have offered me 50% discount on any new scope... I have had a look and don't really know their brand so after some advise...

    The scope is to be mounted on a .243 and its primary use will be for stalking and its secondary use now and then will be a bit of fun at the range and the odd bit of lamping foxes... Which model would suit me?

  3. Planning the electrics in my shed-workshop... 

    Can anyone help me on which consumer unit i would require from bnq? Going to be running a ring main of 6 sockets, 3 led batten lights, security light on outside of shed and a outside double socket for the garden.... I won't be wiring this up but i want to install and insulate around the parts before i call an electrician..

  4. Good evening all,

     Just insulating my shed at the minute ready to turn it into my reloading and bike tinkering den!

    Anyone know an ideal workbench height to save the back from any pain, was thinking around 37" 

     

    Next,  what kind of lighting should I be looking at? so many to choose from.

  5. went shooting with my 14 year old and noticed he was getting to big for his 20g junior gun, so did the only decent thing  a dad would do and give him my Beretta 686. I'm now the new owner of a 690 field 3.. Reviews on google look good and hopefully try it out next week!!!

  6. Looking at putting another shed in the garden so i can work on my bikes, size i'm going for is a 12x8

    I was going to pour a concrete base but due to my raised garden and where i have drainage pipes running this wouldn't be suitable, so my next best option is to make a raised wooden frame for the shed to sit on. So my questions are as follows

    •  Is 4x2 a suitable size to make the frame and cross sections from ?
    •  Do I use joist hangers or just use screws to hold it all together?
    • Would you use 4x4 posts to concrete in the ground and attach to the frame or is there another way to support it off the ground that would be better?

    Cheer Jamie 

     

  7. SO 40 year old drinking 18 glasses or more a week can shorten my life by two years, i will drink to that and lose the two years and have fun with the years i do get...
