    The best of us come out of Sheffield. Good luck in your search. Phil

    That is a serious bargain, well done that man. I am taking my grandson to one of the archery dealers on Saturday as he is having a junior compound bow for xmas so we are getting it set up for him and get a set of arrows cut to size and points fitted. I knew this was going to cost me............................

    Yes I see where you are based, I don't know of any near you, south yorks and north lincs is my turf and I have not had a jab to get me into Derbyshire..................... A good one in Doncaster but still a run for you, try one of the local rfd shops, I think there is one at Lichfield who may be able to put you onto a range. I have just over 10,000 acres but North Lincs is even further for you to travel. This may be some good, Derbyshire Air Rifle Club - BASC BASC.ORG.UK Phil

    Not sure if this is still available in hard copy or online but there used to be a publication called 'The shooting clubs directory' which I found to be a great place to find phone numbers, address and what type of shooting was on offer. Worth a try. Phil

    I don't know how mine would compare but I bought a pair of Wildcat Panther mods, one for the .22lr/WMR and one for the HMR. On the .22, performance is better than the HMR however I was quite pleased with it.

    Just a thought, Blackpool Airguns are exclusive airgun dealers so well worth trying.

    You could also try Hull Cartridge as they are the importers.

    We have just come back from two weeks stay at our favourite place, Highlodge in Suffolk where for the past 21 years my wife, Trish and myself have enjoyed some of the best clay shooting in the uk, carp fishing outside the verander and superb sea fishing only 15mins away. Every time we stay there, we walk the the entire clay shooting layout when the ground has closed for the day to look at all 30 stands to get an idea where the clays will be going which I always enjoy. In past years I have taken my fac air rifle and done a bit of squirrel shooting as the whole ground is based in and around the

    I am in Suffolk at the moment, about 4.30pm yesterday afternoon I went for a walk round the clay shoot situated in the woods where we stay, my god I have never seen so many squirrels but I have not brought my air rifle only shotguns on this trip............................bugger. Phil

    No as I used to be an active member of an archery club some years ago so nothing new, just a different type of bow and a reactivation of my old interest. I do more clay pigeon shooting than I do air rifle shooting anyway along with my carp fishing and sea fishing. As you can see my time is already split into different sections, archery is just another. Phil

    I try to buy from my local range/dealer but as he is trying to sell up and retire, his stock is not so good. We got our bows from him but we have bought our follow up purchases from Custom Built Archery near Newark, about an hour from me. Yesterday we called in Clickers of Norwich for a couple of bits I wanted as we are in Suffolk and I am calling in again next week as I have a couple of arrow cases on order.

    WELL !!!!!!!!! my dear wife fell in love with the compound bow she was trying out so needless to say, I bought it for her, I knew this was not going to be cheap. A new release aid to go with the bow............. ouch. Nevertheless she did very well with it and finished the session on a high with a good group in the target. We popped down to another dealer on Friday to buy a few more things including a large foam target for use at home both inside and outside plus some nice bow bags etc etc etc etc.................... It's just as bad as shooting, the dealer's shop was amazing and we were

    Not set at zero yet because the bloody peep sight is twisting so I am back at the range tomorrow afternoon and hope to sort it then. I am leaving the bow to get that sorted if need be while we are away and the arrows are too long so I am getting cut down from a huge 34'' down to 29''. My wife, Trish, is testing a compound bow tomorrow as well but this one has a maximum of 35lb so ideal for her, smaller and lighter so I may be buying another tomorrow if she likes it. As I have 12 arrows, assuming the weight is okay for her, I may have 6 of them cut down for her size. The arrows are carbon and

    I fitted the Airmax Compact scope on after giving the barrel a really good clean as Weihrauch always apply their solid grease in new gun barrels. I am not posting a photo of the gun as you all know what they look like but to say I am pleased to have a 110k back in my life is an understatement. The wind has died down a lot today so around lunchtime I did some basic pellet tests in the garden before taking it to my RFDs 25mt indoor range on Wednesday morning, the results were predictable although one really caught me out. Firstly H&N FTT were very good with very tight groups, next JTS

    As I am an old fart so there is no heroics for me, this bow runs upto 70lb but I have set it to 54lb which I am very comfortable with so far and loving it. Phil

    Here it is with the new sight fitted although I have not put the lens unit on for the photo.............................. Back on Wednesday to buy one for my wife but a smaller less powerful version. Phil

    I bought a Sanlida Dragon x9 today which may not be a PSE or Bear but having put it through it's paces with the arrows that came with it, too long but they do the job. I was not happy with the 5 pin sight however so I also bought an Avalon Tec x sight and lens which added another £100 to the package but I like the single point rather than multiple point sight so now I am happy with the set up. I will put up a photo when I have fitted the new sight etc. Phil

    Hmmmmm, not my cup of tea Jimmy, to bloody long for me. I picked up my new 110k this afternoon and checked the fpe before I left the shop which sat at 11.64 - 11.68 so happy with that although I do need to give the barrel a good clean and check it again. With this awful weather my plan for testing some pellets at home tomorrow is well out of the window so it will be sometime next week before I get the chance to try a range of pellets. At the moment, I still have the .22 Ultra as someone on here wanted it but he has not been back in touch so it is likely that I trade it in against the 11

    Sorry my bad, I made an assumption matey. Phil

    Why would you want a Co2 gun to shoot live quarry. They are not ideal, temperature can change point of impact with the power output varying and not in the same league as a PCP or good springer. Phil

    We have approx 10,300 acres much of which does not always produce the goods but we have settled on the perms which are no more than 10-15mins drive and to be honest they are the ones we love the most. The big perm we gave away is about 45mins drive and we cannot be bothered. lost the plot........................well perhaps.

    Nice going BN, I must admit that I have become fed up with shooting rabbits and given away one very big rabbit perm. It might be different if family or friends ate them but we don't and I do not enjoy leaving piles of dead rabbits for the foxes. Phil
