Some cheek Andy.I think he should be sending them to me for mentioning them on here. I would promise to test them all and write a review on them for him.

paulos Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 They are being touted around the North's shooting grounds at the moment but from what I have heard they are not all that amazing. Very low recoil apparently, but thats due to the fact that they are almost subsonic. I will reserve judgement until I have tried them myself mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durham. http://www.carryboyuk.co.uk/display.php?pageid=1 I seem to remember that Phileas Fog snack foods were advertised as being made in "Medolmsley Road, Consett". Ask them if they will throw in a few bags of Punjab Puris and I'll take 1000. Random-mode: Off ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojusa Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I seem to remember that Phileas Fog snack foods were advertised as being made in "Medolmsley Road, Consett".ZB Correct, made at Derwent Valley Foods, Medomsley Road, Consett.

hawkeye Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I met him last summer he shoots on some land that i shoot he was telling me about these cart's.. I thought they were a bit to pricey for me but KDUBYA got some freebies from him and he likes them.. In fact KDUBYA has gone up to spennymoor clay ground tonight as he has arranged to meet him there as he is buying a load.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have been using george's carts for a while and as hawkeye says I got afew off him tonight!! 2500 to be exact 2000 clay carts "little devils" 28g 7.5s £147 a thou, and 500 proper pigeon 5.5s ( £160 a thou) the pigeon carts are as good as I have ever used and I have have used them to great effect on pheasant, the little devils are made to a VERY well thought of top clay carts specs, at about £45 a thou cheaper? this is some of them in my spare room BY the way I LIKE THEM. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 They are being touted around the North's shooting grounds at the moment but from what I have heard they are not all that amazing. Very low recoil apparently, but thats due to the fact that they are almost subsonic. I will reserve judgement until I have tried them myself mind :wacko: funny that as they are doing 1500fps so not even close to being subsonic? just shows what tripe gets peddled about, in fact tonight one of my mate tried them and stated that he needed less lead? so there you have it, and yes they are soft deceptively so, I believe Ian mullarkey did a bit of testing in the development of these carts?and as YOU know he aint a bad chap to test for you. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 So where can these carts be bought. At that price i would be interested in a couple of thou of those proper pigeons ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninj Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I like the look of the Proper Pigeons in #5.5 - these would suit me well and theyre cheaper than most. Interested in any feedback on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
