    Best of luck with your treatment hope it goes well.
  4. Thank you Yes it was nice to be out again. Very close to one of your patches 😜 Cheers, I’m hoping they drill it soon and another day should be productive. 🍻 Yes it certainly was. Thanks. I don’t subscribe to all the nonsense about special decoys. Go where the birds want to be and you’ll do ok, just have to read PC posts to see that. The wife’s recovery will be a while but she’ll get there.
  5. I haven’t been out after the pigeons and after a long and very fruitful wildfowl season on the marshes, and unfortunately my wife has been quite unwell and needed some care. I did spot a good opportunity in early March which I put my brother onto and he shot a bag off 145 I believe. My brother rang me Friday evening and asked shall we shoot some woodies tomorrow , I answered that I hadn’t real looked for any, but he said he had a field that looks promising. I arrived at the field at 10 o’clock and it was devoid of pigeons. I watched for a while and thought I’d go for a drive and check around. I told my brother what I was up to as he had yet to arrive at the field. I found a recently harvested beet field that had several going in, unfortunately it was having manure spread on it. I spoke to the lads doing it and he promised he wouldn’t reach where I wanted to set up until the next day. I rang the farmer to check all was ok, he said, fill your boots boi. As I hadn’t expected to be decoying pigeon’s I didn’t have any dead birds with me only 8 plastic decoys , so I had 8 and some silo socks. I set up with my back to a dyke with the wind from my left, the main flight line was from behind me but I didn’t want to face that way due to a busy main road 200 yards away. The time was now 11.30 , it took me about half an hour to get my first pigeon and I watch frustrated as birds flew just out of range across the field. I decided to put up the rotary with 1 pigeon on it and balanced the opposite site with a small piece of beet. That worked and within minutes birds started to decoy , I waited until I had five and replaced the bit of beet with another pigeon and took some plastic decoys in. I rang my brother and said I think it will shoot, probably a 50 bird day, he said he would come later as he was busy now for a bit. Most birds went past and then some would peal back and decoy. Most coming in very fast. About 1.30 my brother arrived and I had about 30 ish down. I let him shoot for a while and the pigeon activity increased. After a bit I joined in taking my turn and the bag slowly increased. I can’t say I shot very well but we ended with 132 pigeons so a very nice afternoon indeed.
  6. I have to agree with less interference, but on the other side of the coin, you could argue what about drugs? Why can’t they all legal.
  7. Love the attitude, keep knocking them down PC. All the best with your recovery.
  8. I’ve just received these William Lennon hand made boots. I have wide feet and they seem very well made.
  9. Hi , I’ll have the aliant steel please
  10. Well done,I loved the presentation. 😁
  11. I’m exceptionally hard on my guns and I’ve had one of these for several years and it just keeps going. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
  12. I have an A400 extreme. The plus has a kick off and doesn’t have the cartridge cut off (single shot) which I find useful. The original a400 also have a better recoil reducers built in the stock and a hydraulic ram damper in the action . For me a far superior gun than the plus model and bomb proof.
  13. I can save you the time. It’ll be fine and nothing will happen. I and loads of others has been using old guns with steel for years.
  14. Just. Checked your profile, a bit far for me thanks.
  15. Where abouts are you please
  16. Chrono F1 in working? If so I’ll have it please l.

  18. Swanndri ranger for sale xxl £50 posted. I’ve had this a couple of months and hardly worn it, so apart from a few creases it’s like new. cheers.
  19. I’ve had to change this year as my right eye has destroyed itself, I’m 56 and I’ve not had many issues, yea it takes some practice and it’s frustrating at times but it’s definitely worth it.
  20. I’m after a relatively cheap hand held one, if anyone has one available please.
  21. He has moved away to the dark lands of Mordor (Suffolk). I believe he is fighting goblins. We haven’t spoke for a week or two but he’s in good heart.
  22. Nope, I’m out fowling 3 times a week until February 20th then I’ll move over to pigeons.
  23. The problem all started with mass immigration. That equates to shortages of housing schools NHS etc, that’s where the problem started. Mass immigration was just to keep the economy strong with cheap labour, it was never for the benefit of the country’.
