Newcastle_Welder Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi, New to the forums thought i'd introduce myself. I'm a 49 year old welder fro Newcastle In full time employment, like to unwind with a few hours shooting at the weekend, at Steve Smiths range and back garden as well as where I work for those feral pigeons. I own a .177 Walther Rotex UC and currently looking to upgrade to a Pard 007. Already enjoyed reading posts and tips from the forum.

Newcastle_Welder Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thank's for the welcome, it's appreciated. Just been on an outbuilding check where I work, the problem iv'e got is the pigeons **** all over the metal and machine parts, so engineers wont touch it, it's an ongoing problem.

Newcastle_Welder Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi Figgy thank's. We originally has a quote for a private company to come in with a hawk, to many girders and beams for the pigeons to hide, and the cost was pretty high. After longs talks with the on site health and safety gaffer, risk assessments ect.. it was agreed that i'd take care of the problem, the fabrication building where I weld is the worst, they use the lamps as a heat source, but hope to get on top of it soon. Just been to washington range this weekend W.A.R. It's ok for an hour when it's bad weather, use it for zeroing the scope mainly.

figgy Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Blackett & Charlton's used to have a Springer for shooting pigeons. Gun was not good but done the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle_Welder Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Always got a backup close by, think i'd forgot the Walther one day just before xmas, trusty Webley springer came out of retirement, not good but gets the job done.👍 Only used the torch because building is dark and it's easier to pick out eye shine, they were back in 30 mins later. Think i'm losing the battle. YouCut_20200121_062101753.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
