jacksdad Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi, I'm Mike and have returned to shooting after many years away, being married and boring! I'm now happy again (single!) and have got back into shooting after getting permission to clear rabbits from a local farm: Got permission then bought the kit :blink: After having HW35 and 80's, plus a few other Relums, Originals, Feinwerkbau etc I bought a HW99S, which is superb! very light and easy to shoot/carry for hours and incredibly accurate, especially with the new Thunderbolt pellets. I think shooting is like riding a bike, even after years away I soon got back into shooting, I got a Woody clean headshot on the very first shot at a live target, honest! No doubt down to the gun, methinks Anyway, I've decided to upgrade already! I want to try a PCP and am looking at getting a HW100 kit, anyone got a full outfit for sale? My kit is on the trading post. I've just got permission to clear some Mink, any advice? I'm thinking trapping them first may be the best option as I hear they are hard to hit when on the run?

Wesman Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Larsen trap or shotgun. They never sit still so I find them hard with a rifle. If you need a hand give us a shout. If you fancy trying clays give me a shout too. We'll go up to milnrow. I'm near foxdenton park mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
