Accuspell Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 I had to vacate the release pen and take my feeder and chair out. The old wooden feeder was looking a bit worse for wear so I took the opportunity to buy two of the robust metal ones from Brinkworth Pest Control, I weighed it up and to be honest the materials and time consumed to make one made these a very good buy, they are reinforced for 50ft-lb air, so will withstand nrmal airguns no problem. I got mine set up in a new area and made a hide at the same time, if you are going to cause disturbance, cause it all at once! I am going to have to get back over in the morning having left it a fortnight to settle in and be found. The build quality, industrial paint finish and design have been proven over time. I expect decades from these, so the price will average out to negligible over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Blimey, looking at the thickness of the steel they should last a good few decades, like the idea of the spinner for zeroing. All you want now is some squirrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks good 👍 can you put a link up please as I've googled but can't find it 👍👍 It makes mine that I filled up two days ago look pathetic. I think thatthere is too much food about and not cold enough. Normally, or last winter, they would have scoffed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuspell Posted October 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Sorry for delay. Brinkworth is the one, if he is too busy with Forestry Commission (like Ceylon, Rhodesia, Burma - it will always be the Forestry Commission for me!) orders there is another very similar maker in Wallsall/Burntwood. Keith's Highseats, he makes all sorts of stuff.
