LEFTY478 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'll be there. What are the definete dates so I can book flights. I'll be coming into Heathrow :o Sat & Sun (2nd & 3rd August) with a smaller pre-gathering on the Friday too. I'm hoping to do a half day at work on the Friday, then go set up at Bisley. Arriving Heathrow early Friday afternoon would be good for me to collect you. Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be coming into Heathrow :o http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...st&p=474377 Nick`s First post in this thread. Friday Evening is just a get together and a few beers and Saturday is when the fun starts on the ranges, Sunday is a split day for some with clays and longer range rifles then in the afternoon it is back to even longer range rifles Some only come for a day or just the clays but it is well worth the experience of staying the full w/e if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Anyone know if they have an air rifle range of F&T if not an idea....... They have one FT near "Our" campsite and it is a good idea, however initial attempts have yeilded nothing much as it is booked solid, however it would be nice. Yet it was empty the last two years in the evening I'll be there - gonna have to see if i can improve on last years injuries lol - still got some scars from last year - gravel burns don't ya just love em I'll bring a bottle of tia maria for SPARKIE as his ale handling capacity is about that of my thirteen year old lads LB - thanks for leaving the trannie cruising to me mate - doubles my chances for the weekend Trust me W&L it will be my pleasure to stay out of the ring I'll be there. What are the definete dates so I can book flights. I'll be coming into Heathrow Top man and possibly the PW member that travels the longest distance to get to Bisley other than HD LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm pretty sure I'm coming. Hopefully I can scrounge a lift with Drovers! It sounds like a good weekend, although I've heard that there's one particularly badly behaved member going. If I'm not mistaken it's the guy above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken it's the guy above That's correct njc, wicked and lazy is a ragamuffin and should be given a wide berth at every opportunity but not as wide as sparkie who can, allegedly, distribute out to 5 metres when drinking Not sure about that though as I was resting my eyes LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honda chris Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 is this open to all pw members, never been before. sounds like a good laugh, i thought bisley was a little up tight. but sounds like they let anthing go. rifle sat and clays/rifle sun sounds good. do we need to book our own lanes or will it be a group thing. is basc insurance sufficant? the scooter sounds good i could add a quad to the truck if your up for stunt riding! i could also bring an extra rifle or shotgun if need be. regards chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 we book ranges on your behalf and share the lanes, the event is open to anyone who pays, PW or friemds etc.... Its a good weekend, lots of drinking, quite alot of shooting. Come along, i will give the address for payment and forms soon, but for the time being watch this space.

Snotty Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi Flash If I see some during my web perambulating I'll point you at it, presume you want brass? Failing that, if I bring the right toys we should be able to trade on the line shot for shot and get you a few pops, depends who's there best regards Snotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 kk. been told that i need to get it proofed to shoot it first. once i can be sure it will be safe, im hopeing to invest in the reloading gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snotty Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) A gun has to be in proof if you want to sell it or pawn it, if you import it then you have to get it proofed but there is no proof requirement for shooting. Most folk take antiques off ticket and sell them as curiosity/ornament to get around the need for proof. If it has the original proof marks and has not been substantially reworked then it is in proof. It's probably made from Marshall's iron. I saw them doing an archaelogical excavation on Marshall's factory in Brum on telly. They then tried making some Marshall's iron, it's crucible steel, but they couldn't get it hot enough and they failed miserably. It's tough stuff best regards Snotty Edited March 16, 2008 by Snotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
